Crysis resleased

I agree. I very much like the FarCry/Crysis campaigns when they are against human opponents. Both lose a lot of their lustre when they move on to the 'tougher' opponents. I finished the game once, then went back for a replay and played it right up until it switched over to non-human enemies. At that point, I was done and put it away. It's a shame, because the first portion of the non-human part was visually spectacular. Easily one of the best looking areas I have ever seen in any computer game.

I very much hope the engine is licensed out for other games. I really feel it is near perfect in all areas. I vastly prefer it to the Doom 3/Quake 4 engine, though perhaps that is an unfair comparison. Still, there is so much potential in it that it would be a massive shame if it was not used for other games.

Apparently there is a mod for the vietnam war in the works, and it has to be said, it is the ideal engine for a vietcong game.

Well, I bought it and in spite of my expectations my system and my GeForce 8600 GT are perfectly up to it. The graphics and gameplay are surprisingly good, it is indeed FarCry done right in many ways. I haven't played MP yet, maybe it is just as disappointing as FarCry MP which is flat and repetitive. But the Crysis campaigns are good.

The reactive landscape is fantastic, although it can be a real biatch: one of my machine gun salvoes cut a tree which then fell on my vehicle and caused it to blow up in my own face. Once you have mastered the controls, the nano suit thingy (love the hyperspeed setting) and the weapons (one shot Scarp rulez) you will have a real field day with this game.
