 BIG disappointment, 2008-04-30
I am VERY disappointed by this game. I have a very high end gaming machine and I have problems running this at lowest settings. At higher settings it doesn't run at all. I'm running a dual core system with dual Nvidia graphics cards and this game sucks! If I could take the game back and get my money I would. Once again EA rips me off. I'll never buy another EA product.

 great game even on 4 yr old computer!, 2008-04-22
I've been big fan of Far Cry and figured with all the talk of beefy system requirements for Crysis that my old XP /2.8/ 1gb/6600GT machine wouldn't be able to run it. I downloaded the demo and it worked fine, so I got it this weekend. Its a very cool game, granted much of the eye candy is on its lowest setting, but there is no issue with low FPS, totally playable. Even on the low settings the graphics are pretty impressive.
I'm just starting the game, but I recommend this game if you like First Person Shooters. Download the demo first if you're not sure you system will run it properly.

Absolutely fantastic game, 2008-04-21
I must have played this game all the way through at least eight times thus far, and IMO, it is one of the best games ever i have played, and i got tons of games including all the latest out today.
What strikes me as odd is all the naysayers who complain that the game has flaws. or they cannot run the game with thier highest end machines well enough. My rig has a AM2 5600 CPU, 2GB Crutial DR800 ram and only a 7600GT video card. Thats right.., and play it on medium settings with only a couple at lower settings, and it plays at pretty high framerates, in 90 percent of the game. I have no glitches of note , or at least not enough to bother compaining about. The game is the most gorgeous game i've played to date. COD 4 is good but diff. type graphics for those who want to compare this or that.
What I want ot tell those who have Nvidia graphics cards is, go into 3D settings and tweak the panel listings some and see if that helps. It sure did for me. Also, replay the game a few times and then make your assessments. each time for me it plays better and better, and seems to look sweeter to me. DO NOT apply any of the patches out. They are junk.
The more you play the more you love!, 2008-04-12
I waited a year for this game as well. After playing Far Cry, I couldn't wait for Crysis. At first I didn't like this game very much. I have a duo core 3.0 ghz; 2g ram; 8800 gtx in sli; Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty 5.1 Surround. A must-have to really enjoy this game. As I have played this game over the last six months I have gotten really good at operating the nano suit and weapons. Now I have to say that this game is the best shooter game I have EVER played! Call of Duty 4 is a extreme close second. I have all the EA Battlefield games as well as Tom Clancy series. After the patches and some tweaks in the game set up-I just love this game now! Trees falling down, buildings blowing up, blowing up vehicles and helicopters,and on and on. UNLIMITED ways to accomplish your missions in maps that a HUGH!
The physics and realism is unmatched. And sound effects are the best I've heard out of any game.
This game has cause people to love it or be dissapointed with it. Which ever camp you're in you have to accept that FPS gaming developers aren't going to let up. If you are a serious gamer your wallet better back it up!
Se ya on the Battlefield!

 DVD Drive Issues, 2008-04-08
There seems to be an issue with my disk which causes my DVD drive to make horrendous clicking noises when the Crysis disk is inserted. Other disks do not cause this problem, and I exchanged my original disk for a new one that still causes the noise.
I've looked around online and this problem does not seem to be uncommon, nor does it seem to be limited to any one particular brand of DVD drive. The game still runs fine, but I've seen reports of people claiming that the disk broke their DVD drive, which makes me more than a little apprehensive every time I put the disk in.
Edit: After some research I discovered that the problem is that the SecuROM DRM that EA uses is incompatible with a lot of DVD drives. A lot of drive manufacturers have firmware updates though that will solve this. So if you're experiencing problems check your drive manufacturer's website for updates to your hardware. My review stays at 3 stars though, since this would not be a problem at all if EA wasn't so intent on locking down the content that their customers have legitimately purchased.
Also, I want to vent a little bit about the fact that their is no option to customize the controls if you're using a gamepad. I realize that there aren't many people that play this way, but since EA took the steps to enable gamepad support, it would not have been difficult at all to include customization option.
