Crysis Warhead (PC) – Review

26Nov08

Crysis warhead is basically the same as the first Crysis game but from a different point of view. So the story is basically ,the Koreans are busy with suspicious activity on a tropical island and it is up to the special forces to figure out what and to stop them. Things go horribly wrong and alienlike life is found.

The story follows a guy named Psycho who is one tough looking guy bearing a few battle scars. He basically just follows the orders and sometime he doesn’t, he instead chooses to do the morally correct things.

Compared to the first crysis , warhead is crazily shorter . It provides more or less 3.5 hours of gaming (if my calculations are correct).

The nano suite sees a return as the one of the “unique” gameplay features. Although since it was in the first crysis , it isn’t that unique anymore. Then there is also the graphics.

With my new 260GTX and the game on ultra settings the game looks incredibly lifelike. Note that isn’t always classified as good looking. But at some point it is really good looking. This is one of the problems I have with advancing graphics. Why make it look like real life ,if it is real life that I’m trying to escape?

The sad thing about the game is firstly(as mentioned before) the game length then there is the repetition. I’ve already played Crysis, why would I want to play it again!? Also the one thing that is for most gamers the biggest annoyance ever in gaming history … DRM.

Yeah the game does include DRM.

Well I wouldn’t suggest anyone to buy the game if they had already played crysis and found it mediocre. If you did enjoy Crysis then you’ll love the game including its more focused multi-player game called Crysis-Wars.

Was it not for the DRM I might have suggested it to more people, but for now you’ll just be wasting your money.
