 Not very good...., 2007-12-16
One word...disappointing. Buy something else. The single player campaign is way too short, and the ending doesn't resolve anything. Nothing new as far as gameplay. I have an 8800 gtx, and it's playable, but not smooth. I'm sure to get max performance, you'd have to invest $1,000 in video cards, which is just nuts. I won't be buying any sequels.

 Some good, some not so much..., 2007-12-16
Graphics are very tweakable. Lower end systems can still have a blast with the gameplay without as much eye candy. AI is spotty,usually good though. Bugs every once in a while. Maybe some patches will clear it up.
Great fights and lots of ways to do them. Snipe? Frontal assault? Explosives? Hop in the HumVee, come around the back and crash thru the hut? Good fun there.
Not sure what Crytek did at the end tho. I was compelled to the last 1/4 of the game then... meh... I've played this far... Gets really linear and takes out what I enjoyed so much from the rest of the game. Choices.
The multiplayer is solid, just not my thing. Servers abound too. Easy to find a game.
Overall,pretty good game. Great graphics, especially in high end systems, great gameplay for the majority of the time, just kinda falls apart at the end which brings down the whole thing for me.
Wait for some patches and a price drop then buy it.

 Quit crying because your system is too frackin' wimpy to handle the game! IT'S AWESOME!, 2007-12-15
Let me first start by saying all you frackin' cry babies complaining because your system can't handle it need to shut the frack up and back away from the vehicle. This game is awesome, and the fact that it will be graphically scalable for the next few generations of Graphics is a GOOD THING, similar to FarCry and how it was at it's release time with the 5900Ultra.
If your system can't handle it on settings that're good, it REALLY DOES NOT LOOK THAT BAD ON LOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
I am not going to spoil the game but I will say it is HIGHLY recommended by me. The gameplay is not only graphically gorgeous, if set correctly, it is perfectly playable on any system. I have tested it with a single 8800Ultra, dual 8800Ultras, an HD2900XT and dual 7800GTXs, and was able to find very playable settings on all four setups. I will list my full system specs at the end of the review.
From the start it is very brilliant in terms of plot, gameplay and graphics. I myself prefer the hardest difficulty, cuz being able to understand the Koreans talking actually makes it less fun in my opinion, because you can hear them yelling grenade... what's the fun in knowing a grenade's coming? LOL
The suit modes and weapons modifications are also VERY cool, I myself modified the suit modes file to allow more flexible gameplay. I love how mod-able the game is, I even set it up so that I'm running the DX9 version of Very High Settings on some of my settings.
Overall I give this game a full 5 stars as I have played through it at least 6 times now and it has not lost it's fun. Here are the settings I use, and my system specs:
Resolution: 1680x1050 (Full Screen)
Anti-Aliasing: 2x
Texture Quality: Medium
Object Quality: Medium
Shadow Quality: Medium
Physics Quality: High (modded to Very High in the Config File)
Shader Quality: Custom (Forced by the game when AA is enabled, hopefully patch #1 will fix that)
Volumetric Effects Quality: Medium
Game Effects Quality: Medium
Post Processing Quality: Medium
Particles Quality: High (modded to Very High in Config File)
Water Quality: High (modded to Very High in Config File)
Sound Quality: High (modded to Very High in Config File)
VSync Forced On in NVidia Control Panel. Ran the benchmark at these settings: 29FPS Minimum, 42FPS Average, 59FPS Maximum
On these settings, it looks absolutely stunning. My specs:

If you have a system less than that, don't expect to be able to run the game on high... ever. lol I can run it on all high settings with no AA, but I prefer the 2x AA as it makes it easier to snipe.
Anywho, thus concludes my review, quit crying, it's an awesome game, good job Crytek, get that darn patch out to make it support SLI better so I can really get good #s with VSync on. :-D

 Really good, not quite great, 2007-12-15
Pros: As first person shooters go, it does some new stuff that greatly adds to gameplay. The cloaking gives you the ability to shoot a guy from five feet away, immediately cloak, and hear his buddy scream "where he go?!" That's just fun. As for general gameplay, the missions are kind of run of the mill. Rather than using special ops for special ops missions, they sometimes have you giving assistance to conventional forces. An infantry squad can't get in to destroy AA guns? Call in naval guns or something--don't waste a specops guy with a million dollars of training and a million dollar nanosuit for something that ho-hum.
Cons: The story is ok in a general sense, but the dialogue is VERY weak. Makes the characters in Predator seem real...which is aquite a stretch.
Also, I see a lot of folks complaining about the system requirements to run this game with all bells and whistles. Would they prefer a game with blocky 16 bit graphics like a 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System? This game will look beautiful in two years, not just today. If anything, the producer should get bonus points for upping the graphics.

Great graphics and game play., 2007-12-14
Well I love this game but you need a computer from NASA to play it. The AI is very innovative on hard to delta. Anything on normal to easy is almost to easy sometimes. Back on the computer requierments. I have a 8800 GTX, 2 GIG 1066 MHz ram (Dominator), E6600 OC'ed to 3GHz, 1333 FSB, and a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Watt. Well this is not a cheap system and I was averaging 12 to 20 FPS with all settings set to Ultra, no AA, and 1680 X 1050 resolution. So overall the game is great but the hardware to run it will kill you to buy it.
