Customer Reviews

It's a great experience but not without its flaws
Not had the game that long but immediate impressions are

GOOD
* Great intensity of action
* Excellent immersive experience, it really makes you feel like you are in the middle of a battlefield with little time to think, let alone act
* Top notch graphics
* Some entertaining scenarios

LESS GOOD
* Very obviously linear gameplay
* Last man standing perk - if you're dead you should stay dead!
* Multiplayer is a bit too run and gun for my liking
* The 'recover by taking cover' feature. I know that there's a balance between gameplay and reality but this is just daft (I thought the same about COD2)

pros/cons

non.... perfect game for its genre

If Crysis is Shumacer then this is Hamilton!
I just bought a new pc, a fairly respectable core 2 duo with a 9600gt in it. Got Crysis, installed, monumentally disapointed in the gameplay, and with the anti alaising only at 4, it doenst look super wonderful.
Got COD4, first of all, it runs like a dream and 've seen it running like a dream on lower spec machines.
It looks fantastic, vision affects, explosions, light, design etc etc.
It sounds fantastic, radio chatter, background noise of a warzone, 3d effects
But best of all for me, it plays brilliantly. Singleplayer has some very well designed levels to try and drop you in some exciting and hectic firefights. There are levels where you go into a middle eastern warzone with a platoon of marines, Covert SAS missions behind enemy lines, 2 man sniper team on a black ops mission, gunner in a c130 gunship!
They seem to have found a happy medium between super real tom clancy 'one shot kills' and ridiculous, shoot a baddie 30 times in the head and hes fine, graze his finger slightly and he gos down.
When you shoot a enemy, he will go down if in a vital area, hit his arm and he wont be able to aim his gun, hit his legs and he cant walk. The aimings good as well, instead of making guns widly inaccurate at any range over 10ft to try and make it 'realistic' (Im looking at you Crysis) they make the the cros hairs large so its not accurate at long range unless you use the sights (flick right mouse button). Works brilliantly.
I loved the way as well they have designed the game so you are a normal soldier, part of a unit in a larger war, not a super strong, phsycic, alien mutated, flying superhero who single handendley wins the war. One level sees your squad leaving a mission area on a helicopter, a support cobra next to you gets shot down and your squad volounteers to set down and rescue the pilot, you set down neer the cobra under huge amounts of fire and have to carry the injured pilot back to the helicopter while your squad cover you and fall back, once onboard you turn around and lay down a bit of fire to cover the rest of your squad who are falling back. Very much a team effort

Ther multiplayer I've only started on so I cant properly comment but have been enjoying so far and there is a ranking - bonus system that is much more detailed than BF2's

If you want to spend hours locked in a room overclocking your pc and playing crysis, this isnt for you. If you want to come home from work and have a good quality blast for half an hour before dinner then there is nothing currently better. You'll be grinning the whole way through!
