5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a comeback of the series February 19, 2013

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Crysis 3 is to date the most graphically advanced game ever created. One should seriously look at the water ripple when you walk in bodies of water. This game, I though I would never ever say thus, looks so much better than Crysis 1 and warhead now. It is cool that Crytek did not put consoles before PC, and this is what CryEngine 3 should look like. Destruction is better than Crysis 2 and in some places Crysis 1 too. The game play combines the good of both Crysis 1 and 2. I seriously recommend this game to everyone who like a sci-fi fps which allows you to do almost anything you wish on the map.

No spoilers here, but dang the ending is mind blowing. Definitely much better than Crysis 2 and one of the best story I have ever played even though I hope it could be longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A flawed masterpiece February 19, 2013

By AllenSpellwaver

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Crytek almost did everything right on this game. Well...almost. Superb graphic, refined gameplay, awesome music, amazing set pieces, and most importantly, it's optimized so great for PC. It runs very smoothly on my GT550M with a few FPS drop in intense firefight and the raining level at the very beginning. The campaign is shorter than Crysis 2 which feels like a waste of opportunity since they made quite a lot of custmization options. it's a shame but every level is well crafted and delicate.
The multiplayer surely doesn't have too much to say but also has few thing to gripe on. It was fast pace and intense. It's a great replacement when COD gets old.
I was thinking that spend 60 dollar on this game instead of Bioshock Infinite is wise or not. By the time when I writing this review, what I feel is that at least the 60 bucks worth every penny.
By the way, the bow is fun!

3.0 out of 5 stars Plenty Of Brawn But Not A Lot Of Brains March 1, 2013

By amazononian

Having loved Crysis 1 and 2 I of course pre-ordered this along with many others who may also be wishing they hadn't paid top dollar for it. I haven't played multiplayer yet so these comments are just for the campaign:

Pros:
1. Next generation graphics and slick UI

2. Munitions and enhancements

3. Allows for adaptive gameplay, from stealth sniper to in-your-face tanking

Cons:
1. So short! Less than 15 hrs of game play to win.

2. The plot lacks intrigue, is highly predictable, and doesn't really offer anything new, just borrowing concepts like Hivemind and mind control from other games and movies. Also due to how short the game is, the character development is pretty shallow

3. Childish screenwriting e.g. "I am better than you" no where in the same league as Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed screenwriting

4. Poorly balanced and tested gameplay: some zones are way too easy and overall "Veteran" difficulty was a cakewalk. The hardest parts were more due to some frustrating non-combat element like finding the switch for an elevator in a huge control center

5. Poor graphic optimization, perhaps intentionally. Like many others with top-end, overclocked systems, my framerates dropped below 30 on Very High settings in may outdoor environments like the opening zone of the game. I have read articles spotting reasons from grossly unoptimized ropes to intentional lack of optimization to make Crysis seem like it is pushing the envelope and also drive sales of newer graphics cards, which I'm sure NVIDIA and ATI don't mind.

6. No spoilers but the ending was just so disappointing for me

I may add some more comments after trying out multiplayer, but I wanted to get this up there for those considering purchasing this mainly for the campaign.
