I had eagerly anticipated Crysis after Far Cry won my respect.
Sadly, Crysis disappoints.
The game does not cooperate with multi monitor systems, forcing me to operate it in windowed mode in order to play on my favorite monitor (or to totally reconfigure my multimonitor system).
The dialog is unimpressive and rather infantile. The story, from what I have seen of it, is rather uninspiring.
The suit is an annoyance… in every respect. Constantly managing the suit to turn on different superhero powers is just so comicbook. I felt like I was switching between the invisible woman, the hulk, captain america, the flash, and superman. If I wanted a comic book fantasy, I would have spent a few bucks on a… well… a comic book.
The kills are far too difficult and unrealistic. Pumping lead into Koreans point blank, and they just stand there and fire back. Are they all on drugs or something?
The AI has issues: I was spotted creeping in the bushes high on a mountainside, overlooking the waters… by men in a boat, who of course fired on me. First, no way I could have been seen. Next, the AI guys that they fired PAST (eg: they were between me and the firing boat), did not respond to the action.
My system is pretty high performance, not extreme, but no slouch. All settings for Crysis had to be set to low, and even then, I have a crappy frame rate. (Athlon 64 2.41GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX, 2G Ram, Win XP)
I compare this to Call of Duty 4, also recently released. CoD4 is ASTOUNGING by comparison. Excellent missions, wonderful maps, good story, supreme frame rates on modest hardware (xbox 360).
I think I will try to sell my Crysis SE, and go back to CoD 4

Was impossible to me play with this game, because need a special video card (the cost of this hard ware is over $ 300) non specificated in the web page.
Also the game is a DVD non the tradicional CD.
I waste my money in nothing.

I am VERY disappointed by this game. I have a very high end gaming machine and I have problems running this at lowest settings. At higher settings it doesn’t run at all. I’m running a dual core system with dual Nvidia graphics cards and this game sucks! If I could take the game back and get my money I would. Once again EA rips me off. I’ll never buy another EA product.

So I get hyped for months over this game and was dazzled by the beautiful trailers and gameplay videos that blew me away. Only to have them not in the game, or set at absurd levels that make it unplayable.
I hyped this game and thought it was the greatest game of the year, BS! Pretty and fun for the first half and then they forgot that they needed to end it and rushed it to the stores. More BS.
You go from a cool jungle fighting sequence, to some moronic ship floating sequence to an IMPOSSIBLE VTOL flying sequence, which I gave up on as the controls are impossible and whoever thought that up should be hung.
There is no EASY, for the casual gamer such as myself. The game borders on insanity and you go from a jungle special forces guy, to a pilot and other nonsense.
The game was rushed, because that is the state of gaming nowadays, greedy morons that could care less about quality, just rush it to the shelves.
So I wasted 50 bucks, and will not finish this game or buy anything from these aholes again.
To give you an idea, I put the cheat codes in and I still got killed. The VTOL level is impossible and that was the end.
Call of Duty 4 was fun, and makes up for it somehow, but they had those stupid phantom grenades again, so I am stuck waiting for a true PC game to come along. Thank you xbox tools for ruining gaming forever.
