Crysis Review | CheatCC

Crysis 2 came out on consoles and did fairly well for itself. So it's only natural that the first Crysis would see a re-release, though we didn't expect it to show up on current-gen consoles. Somehow Crytek has managed to squeeze all of the original game onto the Xbox and PS3. Still, the question remains: does Crysis hold up when put on consoles?

Im impressed...

I have this on PS3...

played years ago with SLi of 8800 ULTRA.

i give it 4.5/5

Crysis 1>x5 Crysis 2

EazyC5321d ago

Just multiply the score by 2 or 20 if it's that annoying.

7.6/10
Or
76/100

Happy?

Multiplying an "out of 5" score by 2 doesn't make it an "out of 10" score. When scoring out of 10, most reviewers don't ever use 5 or lower, except in extreme cases, thus it's almost more accurate to add 5 to an "out of 5" score. But that still isn't entirely accurate, and the real ratio between 5 and 10 scores is somewhere in the middle.

It also depends on the reviewer and the publication. For example, in the case of this review, Cheat Code Central's standard is 4.0-4.4 = Great, and 3.5-3.9 = Good. "Great" on a scale to 100 is probably something closer to 88-93ish than a solid 80-88. Also, 70-78 wouldn't generally be considered "Good." (Especially if you are Cliffy B.)

I'd give this game a solid 9 strangulated North Koreans out of 10

Tyre5321d ago (Edited 5321d ago )

I couldn't agree more! The fact that Crysis is running on consoles in this shape is worth a 9 in it self, well done Crytek! Loving the better controls, makes Crysis even more enjoyable! The graphics are as stunning as i 1st played it back in the day on PC, still can't believe it is the console version. Miracle work, deserves praise!

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125461d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger466d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger465d ago (Edited 465d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic465d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos464d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB465d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai464d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125465d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused465d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos464d ago (Edited 464d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack478d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24477d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack478d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2478d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon478d ago (Edited 478d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken477d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125477d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
