    Despite its flaws, Crysis is, hands down, the best FPS to hit the Xbox 360 since The Orange Box and its port of the complete Half-life 2 that came out in way back in 2004.

    There is enough bang in Crysis to justify the $20 price tag, if only to see the amazing Cryengine 3 at work.

    The original PC version is still the best, but playing this on a console is quite an achievement.

    Don't believe the low scores from PC Fanboys who are butt-hurt that their WONDERCHILD made it to consoles. Having played both versions, this is a great port. Beautiful graphics, and in some ways, superior gameplay (with the addition of suit functions mapped to the controller instead of an ability wheel). I'm able to do things in this version I couldn't do in the PC version because of the instant powers -- it just makes the gameplay smoother. The visuals aren't as good as the PC version running on High, but they're spectacular for a console game. The only real flaw with this version are some technical issues that distract slightly from the fun -- texture pop-in, lower draw distance. But don't believe the negativity... this is one of the best shooters ever made, and for $20, this is a steal. Just don't expect multiplayer. :P… Expand

    Way too short. Awesome game but should have been cheaper seeing as how little actual gameplay their is. I killed almost every single enemy and still only took me about six hours, first run.… Expand

    This is not Crysis, it's Crysis 1.5 There are many differences to the original game. The nanosuit is not the same as in the first game, it's the one from Crysis 2 which was far worse. Armour mode is not default and now uses energy even when not being shot at. Speed mode is not a selectable mode anymore and strength mode is the default mode insterad of armour. Sprinting in speed mode is far slower too. Enemies are in places they never used to be and missing from places they used to be. They're far easier to kill and their AI is far worse. A whole level is missing and while it wasn't the best level in the game, it was still a part of the original game that hasn't been included here. Textures are terrible and the lighting is too. A lot of sounds have been changed, including most of the guns. The FY71 sounds so bad compared to the original. All Crytek had to do was downgrade the graphics so the game would run on consoles. Instead they have remade the game so it's a different experience. Why they changed the nanosuit to the same one from Crysis 2 is beyond me. This is meant to be the original game, not the sequel. Crytek have failed miserably again just like they did with Crysis 2. The original Crysis on PC was one of my favourite games of all time but Crytek have lost all my respect with a failed sequel and failed port. Won't be buying any more of their products. If you can, get Crysis for pc. Even on medium graphics it will look better than this port. You'll also get the full experience and get to play the game in the awesome way it was originally intended. If you want to use a controller, the pc version has always supported a 360 controller anyway. This port deserves a 0. It's not the original Crysis, it's been modified and made far worse.… Expand
