Even Better than the original. Visuals and gameplay!

Best game for the best affordable price it is absolutely steal. if you love shooters like me I'm sure you also like this one. Bring on Crysis 2.

Great game, great Value! Multiplayer is lots of fun, and the single player is awesome!

Great game! After Crysis, this is will be well optimized and playable with a 600$ machine all in high. I recommend this game to FPSrs.

An amazing improvement over the original game.

The shooting is better than the first one, harder and more realistic.

Very much Crysis style but with alot more packed into 5 hours of mayhem much to the style of 'Psycho'. Great fun, more challenging then the first Crysis, fun new weapons to add to your arsenal, fast paced action and follows the original story well, but at the same time definitely adds its own dimension to make it a unique experience. The Cry2 engine seems to definitely have had its optimization improved as the game actually LOOKS better but also RUNS better then the original. The action is more intense but its not to say that there aren't areas where you will make use of being stealthy. If you enjoyed Crysis then you will definitely enjoy Crysis Warhead. 30 bucks, you cant go wrong! Using a fairly 'budget' system (8800GT) the game ran real well with most settings on enthusiast mixed with gamer @ 1680x1050. Good game Crytek~ more please!… Expand

Great game, stunning visuals. Great maps. Short and sweet!

I don't understand PC GAMER giving this game such a low score. It has been the best game I have played this year so far, and since i'm goin travelling in a few weeks it will probably be my game of the year :) A lot of criticism has been levelled at the more action packed on-rails nature of this game, I have to say this criticism is unfounded. The few parts where you are totally restricted (ie. defensive parts/driving) the action and gunplay is so excellently realised that you don't care. The aliens are much better, but the creators have listened to their fans, and in this game even alien sections have KPA sprinkled liberally throughout so your tactics are always varied. The best way of describing this game is the freedom of Crysis mixed with the scripted nature of Call of Duty 4. The set-pieces in this game will blow you away. However players who slowly inched their way through the whole of Crysis in stealth mode will find this less fun than the player who enjoyed jumping from rooftop to rooftop blowing the entire KPA away.… Expand

Perfect graphics, fast, exciting and original gameplay and GREAT multiplayer which will keep you busy for ages. if you allready have crysis, buy this for better multiplayer and performance. The graphics in this one are better but less intense for your graphics card!

EA and Crytek. Best combination ever!! That ought to tip the scales in EA's ever ongoing war with Blizzard.

Best game I've played in a long time. If you have the system to run it that is.

A superb game! The suit is so damn fun to use. You'll do things like use invisibility to creep up on an unsuspecting Korean patrol. Changing to maximum armour, you ambush them with a well placed grenade and then finish them off. But now the Koreans have heard the noise and seen you, and are closing in to flank you. How's your energy? Can you hide behind cover to flick back to invisibility so you can invisibly creep to a different bit of cover, flanking your enemies as they close in on where they think you're still hiding? Or are they already too close, and you have to switch to speed and make a make a mad, desperate dash to avoid being killed? Or should you switch to strength and jump onto the roof of that building where they can't reach you? Or will someone lob a grenade at you and make the roof collapse? The open levels, suit powers, and weapon customisations give you so many possibilities. The combat is intense, brutal and visceral (best played on delta difficulty). And it's gorgeous. Awesome graphics are used to render intensely beautiful scences. The plot is standard action fare, but it's told with such visual flair and uses such beautifully atmospheric locations that I was still interested in it. The one issue I had is that there's now noticable pop-in, compared to the original crysis. And it's short but cheap. With this level of quality, I wouldn't mind long but expensive :) But it was still a 10/10 experience for me. Easily up there as one of the best FPS experiences I've ever had.… Expand

Loved it...from start to finish...it's tough on Delta which is great, and while more linear than it's predecessor, it's great fun. Sure, it's hort, but it costs less than half the price of Crysis and if it were not for the annoying scenery pop-up and issues with sniper sights (objects that haven't appeared in normal view will suddenly block your sights with the sniper scope on) then this would be technically perfect. Plays faster than Crysis and given the luke-warm reception to Far-Cry 2, as a teaser before Crysis 2 (what's with Prophet? Has he been infected by the aliens? I need to find out...) it's just about the best thing around right now.… Expand

Crysis Warhead I suspect will be the best PC game and best first person shooter of 2008. It's such an awesome game. Almost the standard it put up when Crysis was first released. It fixed all the problems Crysis had. Smoother running and sharper graphics although Crysis had the best graphics a PC game could have. Excellent game!! Absolutely!! Praise Crytek Studios!! All hail EA!!!

It is a very dynamic and beautiful game. Totally worth it.

This game shines truly as FPS masterpiece. Best graphics, most intense gameplay, most flexible gameplay, excellent campaign and a truly great price of $30 only. It should be $100.

Awesome, just like the original but with more gung-ho action and you get to play as that tough cockney geezer Psycho. What more could you want ? Well, it's cheap to buy and you get Crysis Wars thrown in on a second disc too ! Would have gotten a 10 if not for the scarily expensive PC you need to buy to play it on.

Very enjoyable followup to Crysis. Performance is much improved, as is AI, pacing and overall gameplay. Hope to see more from Crytek soon!

This game is pure awesomeness in every sense of the word. This is for me THE best PC experience of 2008. This game is the perfect example of why PC's kickass and are here to stay, FOR EVER. Its gameplay is more intense and focused than the original Crysis and can be very closely described with the intensity of a Call Of Duty game. I actually found it to be more enjoyable than Crysis since developer Crytek has learned from Crysis and improved upon its mistakes. By this I mean, NO LONG LULLS, MORE INTENSE ACTION, BETTER GRAPHICS, BETTER PERFORMANCE and a ENJOYABLE MULTIPLAYER. This game is by all means no Crysis 2 (man that game needs to come soon), but it wasnt supposed to be, it is supposed to be an improved Crysis experience, which is exactly what Crysis Warhead is. So BUY THIS GAME.… Expand

Best PC game ever made. Basically an improvement on the original Crysis where they kept all that was good and tossed all that wasn't. It's visually incredible and the game play is the best since the original Counter-strike / Half-life games. All future game should have gameplay this sweet. One caveat though, you need a good computer with a good graphics card. Without it, forget it. You are missing all that makes this game great!… Expand

Crytek certainly paid attention and learned from their mistakes with Crysis. Minor gameplay tweaks and graphical details all come together to make a more exciting and varried game that never becomes a chore. Unlike Crysis I found myself using the suit controls for a lot more than just invisibility. This is what Crysis should of been.

I found this game to be alot of fun it had great gameplay and amazing graphics and even though the gameplay was linear it was still a great game BUT i found it to be alot shorter then the original crysis and the ending felt like it shouldnt have ended there. 9/10

Great looking game, better than the original. There are some good missions with a lot of action and explosions. Very playable if you play this in DX9. The controls are good, the gameplay and different levels of difficulty is good, the sound and visuals are good. I think the story and voicing are above decent. The new team deathmatch is a plus too. This game isn't priced too high so it's definitely worth it. If you have the original Crysis, you'll have a blast with this one. There are plenty of multiplayer maps released from Crytek too. If you're really into eyecandy, you will love this game especially if enable AF in your graphics control panel.… Expand

Overall, the superb graphics and open ended gameplay of Crysis Warhead was worth my hard earned money. However, I was a little dissapointed with the shorter single player campaign, especially compared to the original Crysis. But at a MSRP of $29.99, who can complain? Of course, there'll always be a handful of PC's that will crush under the might of the Crytek2 engine. But in the end, this is why dedicated gamers stick to the PC, you get cutting edge games that pushes our technology to the limit. Like the old saying goes, "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen". Crysis Warhed represents the epitome of PC gaming and another reason why PC games will always remain generations ahead of bubble gum consoles.… Expand

so Valve has done it again by Making the best Milti plyer Addictive Person shooter of all Time . now I.m not gonna rate it Based on The Demo . It Deserve Every penny of it .

Much more intense. Seems like graphics and texture quality were turned down a bit, but the art quality of the frozen landscape is breathtaking. Didn't have much time to look around though, because of all the action. I was expecting the game to be a bit longer, it took me just two afternoons on Delta level to finish the game. Still takes a hell of a rig to run on Enthusiast settings - Q6600 at 3.2Ghz and two GTX 280s in SLI around 25FPS on average.… Expand

Much has been made of Warhead being "faster", or "optimized"...you won't notice that much of a speed difference but you will notice how much smoother it is, how much better enemy AI is and there's endless fun to be had seeing just how much yof the screen you can fill with explosions. Gung-ho tactics will not work, it's a much more cerebral shooter than most and it's much more exciting than most, and at the price represents the best value for money you'll find all year. Too much fun.… Expand

Anyone who enjoyed Crysis will simply be blown away by Warhead. Every aspect is amplified, from the graphics, to the soundtrack, to the engagement of the player with the storyline. The characters are more memorable and the action is better paced. While it doesn't quite have the impact of HL2, Warhead is still one of those games that when you finish make you sit back and exhale.

Just as good as the original Crysis. The AI seems to have been slightly updated, but still has a few glitches. The story is just as solid as Crysis, but in Warhead you play as "Psycho". Psycho has more character than Nomad which may just be because he was so memorable in Crysis. The gameplay and graphics are the same, except that the Cryengine 2 has been further optimized in Warhead. A worthy expansion for Crysis, and a bit cheaper. Comes with Crysis Wars as well, which is great fun. It is fairly straightforwards multiplayer and it has no real problems. Great bang for your buck.… Expand

Much better than the first.The campaign is short but much more engaging, the battles more fierce and gameplay better.Overall one of the best games ever better than Crysis.And i like Psycho more than Nomad.

CrysisWarhead is greater than its predecessor Crysis.... I played the two back to back; there is only one way to describe this - in your best Jamaican accent - Totally Great Man. Overall Score 10, played 4 years after release, SteamPC version, and DRM Steam only (always without flaws) and no EA/Origin necessary.

[Story] Play as the character -Psycho-, survive the VTOL crash and go deep behind enemy lines. Secure the frozen Alien carcasse (that you saw at the penultimate scene in Crysis). This game is another 8 hour Episode of the original game and you can not afford to miss it.


[Challenges] The game layout is identical to Crysis.... You are playing missions and the game is tight Tight TIGHT. Much of the flaws from the first game have been solved.... Driving with combat is much better and now fun, ammo pick up is automatic, and the AI is good but dumb just like the first game. A good approach when you are outnumbered is to go far away from the objective and create a diversion; the NPCs get totally lost and jammed up in the far away place.... return to the objective without hindrance.... ; ) [My PC] i7-2600K 3.4GHz / ASUS Z68 ProGen3 / 8Gig RAM / Radeon 6870 / 1920x1200 / W7 PRO SP1 [Graphics score 10] This game was beautiful and flawless and was played in one day without a crash or a reboot.

crysis was good, warhead is even better. with the improvement for duel wielding sidearms it almost makes it worth it by itself. vehicle driving could be slightly smoother (only say that because I have played a lot of racing games) but overall i think this is a terrific game. to put the graphics in retrospect think of tes4 and the detail put into it with slightly longer view distances here. definitely worth the money (ten bucks on steam for crysis, crysis warhead and crysis wars!)… Expand

An improved Crysis 1 with a new(?) story line. It's rather a DLC and not a full game. Even though it"s fun to play with it. The story is quite short, it"s easy but the multiplayer (Crysis Wars) compensate it. The Power Struggle is the best multiplayer mod I've ever played. The graphics is still world-class but I think it"s clear if we talk about the Crysis franchise.

Crytek did a beautiful job with Warhead Although i like Crysis Original better this one is more linear than the first and Crysis 2 is the most linear so on that note Crytek/Electronic Arts is getting lazy but at the same time setting the standard is Graphics Technology.

Amazing story, awesome graphics (but also demanding on the system), cool weapons. Only issues i have with this game is that it's just too short (like Crysis), and that the system requirements are a little steep. Otherwise - a must have shooter!

So, Crysis: Warhead. Same gameplay as Crysis but a different character and story. Is it worth it? Well, gameplay wise, nothing has been changed which was a good thing for me. After finishing Crysis on Delta and Crysis 2 on Supersoldier I felt I needed something else with similar gameplay that wasn't the same game then this came around! I thoroughly enjoyed it and the advanced physics were awesome, the only thing letting the game down for me was a few glitches the larger Ceph had such as them getting stuck because they went into a tight space and couldn't get out again. Either way you look at it, buy it!… Expand

If Crysis deserves a 10, then Warhead deserves an 8. Still a good game but much shorter than Crysis, didn't run as smooth, and slightly buggy. The campaign took only six hours to complete and that is including many long cinematic cut scenes that were poorly done and pointless. However, the multiplayer game, Crysis Wars, is about as much fun as I've ever had in multiplayer, 80 plus hours and still going strong. If you liked Crysis, and you like FPS team death match multiplayer you should love this game. As point of reference, some other games I would score 8-10, Crysis, COD 4, Half Life 2, Halo, and all the Quake iterations.… Expand

Awards: The Best FPS of 2008, The Best Semi-sandbox game of 2008, The Best Stand Alone expansion of 2008. Amazed by the how awesome is this game, I kept playing for hours. Technical graphics are great, thanks to CryEngine 2. And amazing semi-sandbox gameplay is rewarding and outstanding, thanks to CryTek. And thanks to the publisher, Electronic Arts, because they made this outstanding stand alone expansion.… Expand

Almost as awesome as the original Crysis, Warhead features a shorter, more action-oriented campaign and an outstanding standalone Crysis Wars multiplayer component. The game is better optimized, so it runs smoother on your PC, which is quite handy, since you'll need those extra FPS in the explosive action sequences, which the game is full of. The only cons that take away that, 10th review point, are an uninspiring plot, less freedom of choice (the aggressive approach is kinda forced in this one) and stiff cutscene animations. But despite of that, it's still more of Crysis and it is awesome.… Expand
