New Crysis: Warhead shots double the pretty

Graphically, it’s great. Style-wise, it’s your typical shooter.

I agree wz, pretty standard gameplay at best, boring at worst.

graphically it isn’t totally realistic still. There is still godly hints at an art direction.

I think I prefer art direction to Heavy Rain and Crysis.

Hmm, they better not be lying with it requiring a little less ‘power’.

“pretty standard gameplay at best, boring at worst.”

Depends on what you want to get out of it yourself, you could finish Far Cry fast if you played it like a linear shooter but you could also go out and actually try different paths as well. Same thing counts for Crysis which adds the suit powers to that. It’s all about sandbox play in a huge environment, not about tagging endlessly respawning enemies in some narrow alley.

The Nomad versus Koreans part of the game was what you made of it, the standard technique of going around guns blazing is one way but there’s a lot of potential ways around things, even just doing what needs doing without firing a single shot. It’s down to the player and for the first two thirds Crysis is a fantastic experience.

SwiftRanger, that is the problem with Crysis. Yes it’s a sandbox but it a shallow one. It get’s boring either way you play.

Well, then it’s linear shooters for you I guess.
