Crysis review

Gameplay-7/10
Good
-Sandbox provide endless opportunity(problems too)
-Great firefights
-Enemy AI is intelligent and challenging
-Nanosuit provides many approach in gameplay
-Great pace
-Ample of Vehicular action
-Good implementation of vehicle destruction reflect into actual gameplay itself
Fugly
-Bad story telling due to sandbox approach
-Tons of bugs when loading previous checkpoints
-Friendly AI is fucked up
-Scripted events doesnt activate in some occasion,need restart of application and level
-Disposable characters
-Should allow option for enemy to talk in korean in all difficulty levels
-pathetic ending,fking cheap way to make trilogy.

Graphics-8/10
Good
-Second to none
-insane tropical forest
-Pervertic draw distance
-First to outclass halflife2 in facial detail
-Extremely tweakable engine
-Aliens looks like alien(lol!)
-Insane physics interaction like never before
-Great explosions and particle effect
-1 more reason to laugh at those retards proud of their PS3 and xbox360
Fugly
-Bad indoors
-Horrible friendly AIs animation
-Enemy in humvee machine gun die in awkward positions
-facial expression leave much to be desired
-DX10 is rather useless and DX9 is reduced in quality intentionally
-Lots of graphics and physics bugs
-motion blur not implemented properly
-Depth of field is kinda buggy
-Nuke look worst than normal RPG=.=
-Not even a ninja PC can play this properly

Overall-8/10
Truely next gen graphics with average gameplay.So nice is the lush tropical forest and effects,many times you will just stop and stare at the beautiful sunset/sunrise or replay a certain part of the game just to watch that certain cutscene again.But bugs like floating tree and misplaced texture(and much more) spoiled some of the great moments.They may be driver issues though but since nvidia crysis driver is still in beta i did not update it.Performance take a bad drop in numerous cases,but the graphics is just too nice too reduce the settings.
Gameplay wise it is still a very solid shooter,but with tons of showstopping bugs.One of the bugs,where loading previous checkpoint causes gameplay and graphics anomaly very often and is very,extremely,fucking irritating.What save it is the sandbox design and nanosuit.Sandbox design really show off with limitless approach to tackle their montonous objectives and totally new and unexpected experience,probably not even predicted or inteded by the devs.Created the most challenging and tense firefight i ever experience, just because i ignore the chopper and sprint to my objective.End up in living hell for half an hour, with chopper releasing its endless loads of lead and hellfire missles.While i take cover from the barrage,soldiers flank me constantly and try to flush me out with grenades time to time.So i am constantly on the run, killing a few if i got the chance,while completing the objectives and need to get back to the LZ which is all the way the other end of the map.Really stretch the limit of my nanosuit and concentration to the breaking point.Nice!
Great game even with the ton of bugs,looking at how crytek do things in the past,they will get fixed it sooner or later.Some may wanna get it only after these issues are patched,but buying this game just for the sake of the eye candy is already worth price tag.

The favourite past time of US special forces.
