Our review of Crysis will come soon after it is released. I believe that PC Gamer inked an exclusivity deal for that review and Chuck Osbourne probably had to head to an EA office to play it (as opposed to getting an advance copy). So you may not see any more advance reviews until they all start to hit.

I'm actually not all that enthused, I think the graphics will be fantastic (unlike my frankly insane brother, who thinks bf2142 looks better than crysis :S) and the gameplay will be good, but i don't think its quite so groundbreaking, apart from anything else, the "entirely destructible" landscapes only break in certain places, (oh and with the mod, i discovered that koreans are immune to handheld nuke launchers :?)

2142 (too lazy to actually start the game and take a screenshot, but everyone knows how orange and white and barren it looks).

Your brother sounds like one of my cousins, but he's retarded, his younger brother has all the brains (hes 14 and works as a programmer making software for tablet pcs - makes almost as much money as I do.)

if it weren't for the fact that he's a lot bigger than me, I would have pointed this out, I think he says, "the only thing about the crysis graphics are bold colours, and that makes it look tacky, and fake" (i died inside, It was so embarassing, yet funny as well)

Uh.. OK.. The demo sucked. The cut scenes were more exiting than the gameplay. Have fun, I guess. No, BF2142 (you still play that crap?) doesn't look better than Crysis... but I'd rather play it with whomsoever is still playing it than play Crysis.

Sheesh, the cut scenes were somewhat annoying IMO. I'll take the gameplay.

Hey Guys, circuit city has it in their ads. it's $39.99 and you get a $10 gift card on top of it. $30 bucks for Crysis, yippee! They say in stores Wed, but I thought Thur was the launch.

Pre-ordered and pre-paid.

I want the full Sandbox2 editor as much as the game.

I was initially disappointed in the demo, because I played it like any normal shooter, it was pretty, but not anything revolutionary.

I re-played using stealth, then strength and speed and started taking advantage of the destructible environment and physics.

:ouch: "Oh, THAT's what they were talking about."

Once you start thinking outside the regular FPS mindset, it gets SO much better.
