Crysis

Since I play a host of games, heres the skinny on them (to judge download-worthy or not).

Crysis:
This game is basically part deux of FarCry. The game has the same feel, you spend a lot of time hiding in the jungle and busting up little barracks scattered over a Korean island. You end up fighting a modern day attempt of an invasion by aliens.

Story line: a spec op's soldier in a new suit that can do special power ups. You can choose with a drag of the mouse: strength mode (high jumps or Arnie melee), speed mode (run faster then you can zoom on a Bushnell $800 scope), cloak mode (insta-invis man), or bulletproof armor.



Fun Factor: Arena play lets you choose your own approach to any scenario (since you can only carry 2 rifles you can snipe out the million man march or rush in), areas aren't hack and slash, but are needing small amounts of planning, and using all your suits different abilities in combos. Only serious downside is getting caught in a giant asteroid for 3 levels.



Graphics: AMAZING! Tons of detail, just like FarCry but even better.
Huts are filled with junk you'd find in any given Korean barracks.
When you fly a plane the distant dogfights can affect you.





Weapons: Everyone carries the same things, you can snipe with a silenced U.S.P. handgun.
The complete lack of attention is in stark contrast to the amount dumped into graphics.
2 assault rifles (AK type 56, G36), 1 shotty, 1 pistol, 2 long range rifles, 2 heavy machine guns (1 is the alien one), 1 smg, and a l.a.w. make the games arsenal.
