Crysis doesn't look all that good...

Hi chaps.
Quick question,
Is it just me, or does Crysis not look all that good?
I've got a pretty high end rig especially when you consider Crysis was out in 2007, and I've got everything set on Ultra High at 1920x1080 resolution...
and apart from a few bits where it slows down when there's lots to draw, it does pretty okay...

Only it just doesn't look as good as I'd expected?
The start of the game, the dark, the sky, water, foliage, weapons and suit detailing is excellent,
but the sun came up and the daytime levels, sea, foliage and especially characters just don't look that great...

Is it just me? Is my rig missing something, or should I get some mods on the go?
Don't get me wrong, I think it looks good, no disrespect to any Crysis fans.
But it's just not as good as I thought it would be...

Thanks guys, I'm on it.
The main thing is that the foliage looks cheap somehow, don't know what I mean exactly but it's just a bit plasticky and false compared to the rest of the world especially the water and ground.
Not saying I could programme better though... haha.
And yes I did a double take when I read the case... 2007? Madness.
Can't wait for all the Crysis 2 mods haha, my rig won't take it though! Unless I CF another 5870 maybe but I'm gonna go for an OCUK built rig with a 580 or two
