As an action game, Crysis could be the best first-person shooter ever, blending over-the-top gunning and dazzling pyrotechnics with enough freedom to make you feel like the cunning badass you always wanted to be. It's an immensely satisfying, richly detailed experience.
A near-perfect melding of next-generation technology and interactive gameplay, Crysis is the pinnacle of the evolution of the first-person shooter and is the new standard against which all others will inevitably be compared.

A spectacular and beautiful sci-fi epic. [Christmas 2007, p.78]
Everything that made "Far Cry" good was successfully taken to the next level in Crysis (with the possible exception of the AI). Even if we are looking at one of the biggest hardware hogs ever to grace the PC platform, and despite the AI issues, this first-person shooter comes highly recommended from us.
A game that feels supremely engineered, like a precision machine, or a German automobile. It's makes "Half-Life 2" seem old and frail, but by the same token it does nothing to diminish the imaginative achievements of that series. Crysis is impressive, but not imaginatively bold. Nor does it engage us like some other great shooters - such as "BioShock" - have done with their world and their personality. It's far better than "Far Cry."
Adding it all up, Crysis is definitely the most impressive title today from a graphical point of view and the only thing the competition can do is smile and wave.
Fast forward through scraps of miserable story and melodramatic dialogue, along with a "boss battle" inherited from the coin-op class of '88 (see: "Contra"), and the ordeal is done -- beautiful throughout, mostly amazing, but vegetative by the end.
It was a game that captivated everyone with its graphics when it came out. For me, it has become a game that is no longer worth remembering. I don't remember playing it for long hours and I didn't find it as fun as the second game. Even though the first game offers more freedom on more open maps compared to the second game, the gameplay gets boring very quickly because the AI is very mediocre. It's not a bad game to play and I should probably play it again, but that's my thoughts for now...

I'm not a hater to be a hater, I generally think Crysis is not a good game. I heard so much of this game before to a point were I was so excited, and let down is every way possible.
This game is horrendously optimized. It doesn't run good even on modern systems, with constantly FPS drops and stutters even not on the highest setting. It even crashed on me twice, like what a lord of crap that this game is 'optimized', stop listening to the lies.
Everything about the gameplay is awful. The suit abilities are underpowered to the point where they aren't fun. Gun play is some of the worst, with a ton of recoil and bullet spongy enemies. Everything little thing can kill you, like using super speed can kill you if you run in something.
The game is also glitchy, like I saw props bugging out, a gun shooting itself, multiple graphical glitches, the list can go on.
Don't get me started on the last 'mission'. Without any spoilers, let me just say I had to grab a weapon that was needed later on. I forgot to grab it, so when that part came, I didn't have the weapon. So I went back to grab it, but found out that I couldn't go back. I had to load an earlier save just to get the weapon. That is the worst mission design I have ever seen.
Crysis is a bad experience that has been undeserving praised to a extremely high level. This isn't the amazing game people crack it up to be.

Mediocre FPS with competent story and gunplay. While graphics are good, the visual design of the game is average.
