If you haven't played the game yet, do not continue to read if you do not wish to hear any SPOILERS
OK, so i've finally managed to get a little free time on my hands, so i started playing crysis properly the otherday...
Chucked it on the hardest difficulty, which actually proved too difficult, restarted on hard, and after getting past the point where the demo ends, and grabbing a couple of weapons and upgrade, i started to enjoy myself...
Then i got bored pretty quickly... to which the scenery changed at about the right time, and i found myself within the 'relic' Was pretty funky tbh, loved the rollercoaster ride inside
Then i got shot out, to find myself back with prophet, which i had to rescue, bit more guns blazing, and a lot more vehicle use, and generally more variety, so the game starts to get better, and i'm actually thinking to myself 'i'm actually enjoying this' (those of you who don't know me, i'm not an fps fan, i play a lot of quake, but that's it... it's all about the movement
)
A quick rescue mission and i find myself back with the fleet.. blah blah blah, nuke, oh dear! etc etc.. now im thinking im gonna get right back in there guns blazing, which is pretty true, shoot a bunch of alien ships down, get the ship partially stable, and then one mah00sive dude is on deck... which doesnt take much killing tbh, couple of minigun clips and he's toast... and then something even more mah00sive appears... Awesome i'm thinking, especially as i'm now armed with my portable nuke thing. Turrets + rockets = dead, wait, fire nuke, wait, fire nuke, bang bang bang, fire nuke, run...
Back on the vtol with psycho, we locate prophet and head towards the island, and just as i'm really starting to get into the game, it bloody finishes


As pretty as the game is, the gameplay was not too bad, as it varied a fair bit, but there just wasn't anywhere near as MUCH of it as there should have been :'( I thought i must only be about half way through and it finishes
Safe to say, there'll be a pristine copy of crysis in the for sale section shortly... not even going to bother lookig at the multiplayer side of the game.
Just my pennies worth...
