Generally gameplay and story wise, far more linear and more story (cheesy) centric, got a totally different (in a bad way) feel :/

Comparing it to Far Cry; it's pretty similar.
It starts off really well, then you encounter the aliens/creatures/whatever and it's cack.
And the last battle in Far Cry... Jesus Christ. I hope Crysis isn't as bad as that.

Why's it getting such high ratings though?
Is it just the hype thats killed it and in real terms its still a very good game?

Because it looks nice.
Probably the hype too to be honest. It's by no means a bad game, but just not as good as we were made to believe.

i've said it before, and i'll say it again, they took a lot of good things out, that they'd already shown us, it was never going to be as good as they said
wish i was going to get a good run at it before sunday, but unfortunatly i've got work, solid for fri/sat

what bugs me is that to play it with decent fps, you have to drop the GFX down, by doing that it doesnt look much better than other FPS's that are out just now and gameplay wise weve seen it all before and done better. dissapointed with it, gonna go back to cod 4

If you crawl and put your camo on you can virtually complete the game without getting shot once lol
Sincely would increase the game length

I mean in the sense of graphics and competitor for the GOTH.

There was almost a very loud explosion from Brighton as my shiny new DVD would not read in my drive. Click, click click is all it would do! Rebooted still clicked, then suddenly sprang into life! Left for work, leaving it installing. I hope the disk doesn't fail again and this was a one off, I don't have a problem with other disks.

Is it a legit copy?
Yes, came today

If running an Nvidia card, try 169.09 driver or update the sound driver. I found the demo would not run in dx10 with driver 163.75 non whql. Whql does actually work, but tbh you are better off running in dx9 with the config mod (if possible with full release not sure yet as I am at work now and not able to play or try, boo hoo).
I can have it running in medium at a steady 35/40 fps, just not happy with how it looks. Feels like playing a year old game, and makes stuff like UT3 (demo at least) look AMAZING!
Thats my take on it anyway...
169.09 drivers, latest x-fi fatality drivers too, btw.

Well, I loved the game myself.
Some parts to the game had my eyes glued to the screen because it looked so amazing. Like when you are part of a squad running towards an enemy base with gunfire going off all around you and jets zooming overhead to bomb their target. The tank level was quite hectic and a nice change of gameplay, I liked it a lot.
Everyone seems to be saying that the Alien hive, zero gravity part, was bad but I thought it was pretty good and a nice change from all the jungle fighting before it. After the hive, when the snow is everywhere, I also found brilliant. It feels like such a different place with a completely different atmosphere, the way you start to freeze up when you stand still for too long and your reflex sight is so badly frozen over that it is useless is great!
Fighting the Aliens made a refreshing change to gameplay, forcing you to change tactics from ones you have become so used to. Get up in their faces with the shotty! They weren't difficult but if you let them swarm you, you were as good as dead.
The last level, on the carrier, was fun. It was quite slow paced compared to the rest of the game before but when the Aliens started to attack the atmosphere was tense, not knowing how many, if any, Aliens are going to be behind the next door you punch open.
The fights on the deck were quite good, the big walking thing takes one hell of a pasting and I was getting worried that I was going to run out of ammo before it died but fortunately I found a much needed minigun. The last boss was a slight let down because it just sat there and pretty much let you destroy it, I did die more than any other part of the game due to all those flying aliens that come out(Tip: Use the Gauss rifle to take them out instead of the rocket launcher).
The ending annoyed me because I was pumped and ready to go kick lots more Alien arse but then the credits popped up. I thought it was a joke and waited, staring at the screen for a while in the hope that gameplay would commence, but it didn't
Overall though, I really liked it. It had so many memorable moments and times when I sat there with my mouth open in amazement that I couldn't not like it.
*EDIT* Oh yeah, the VTOL part was good fun, too. DON'T GO NEAR THE CYCLONES!
