Crysis 3 is quite the game. Game mechanics that are simple and feel good to use, well done story set pieces and gorgeous visuals. What's not to like? The length of the game. Clocking in at around 5 hours. However, this is not as bad you might think. The game keeps a good pace through the whole game whether you're going all rambo, sneaking around and shooting people in the head with the well implemented bow or just taking in the gorgeous varied environments. The story is for the most part well written, with some incredibly at times cheesy dialogue. Prophet is back in action, however not actually human anymore, well you'll just have to find out what i mean by that yourself. Crysis's multiplayer is also back, with a new incredibly well done game mode called Hunter. Hunter is immensely intense. Two players start as Hunters with unlimited cloak and bows for weapons. Their goal is to kill the team of REGULAR soldiers, no nanosuit in this mode. Once a soldier is killed, the soldier turns into a hunter. If you're the last one alive, you just might soil yourself. All in all, Crysis 3 is a great package and in my opinion has now found it's place among the FPS juggernauts like Halo and Call Of Duty. It's a game that i would solely recommend for anyone that enjoys a good shooter and a decent narrative that keeps you going to the end.… Expand

Let me start this review by saying I am completely new to the Crysis genre. After playing for a few hours, this game is amazing. Graphically this game is what I would expect a game on the Xbox 720 or ps4 to look like. From what I have played so far, the single player has a detailed story that keeps me interested.

I have spent a majority of my time playing multiplayer. It has an unlock system similar to Call of Duty and a brilliant dog tag system (very simular to titles in Cal of Duty). This game feels a lot like a Halo 4 and Call of Duty Hybrid. From hit markers to beautiful kill cams, I'm loving it all. This game offers everything I hoped Halo 4 would be. As I said I am new to Crysis, but from what I have played so far, I highly recommend you buy this game if you are a fan of Call of Duty or Halo. I'm giving it a 10 simply because it was a sleeper hit for me. What a relief that I didn't waste my money like I did with Aliens Colonial Marines.… Expand

Crysis 3 is the strongest entry in the franchise. The puzzle-like combat scenarios have never been better with its suite of gameplay options and opportunities while the engaging narrative urges you to see Prophet’s journey through to the end. This game is loads of fun online, and I def recommend this game for the 360. It's a great change of pace if you own Halo 4 or Black Ops 2.

This game is beautiful and the audio is top-notch. There's no doubts about that. Great story that has an ending that fans of the series, me included, will love. The gunplay is typical of a Crysis game, but has some changes and additions that are welcome. During the campaign, you now have the ability to quickly change between 3 sets of nanosuit modules that you'll unlock as you gather upgrades. Handy for when you want to change your nanosuit to accommodate your situation. New to the series is hacking with the nanosuit. You have the ability to take over gun turrets, door panels, stun enemies, etc... There's a certain satisfaction when a gun turret clears half the enemies for you making it easy for you to progress through the missions and kill off the rest. Along with beautiful set pieces, there's enough variety throughout the campaign to warrant another playthrough. After you're done with the campaign or just want to take a break, there's the multiplayer. I have to say I'm extremely pleased with what Crytek have done to improve on what Crysis 2 had. You now have separate energy bars for Armor and Stealth. Power running and jumping no longer drain energy. You're also able to edit your current loadout during the match. With pole throwing and shields, and alien weapons strewn through the maps, there's a lot to take in with a learning curve that could take some time to grasp, but once you do you'll be hooked. I know I am. Once you get a kill streak going, take over a Pinger, and keep it going while launching the killstreaks you've earned (earned by collecting dog tags from fallen foes) is a thrill you'll want to experience many times. Mind you, this isn't your simple pick-up-and-play Call of Duty. If you want a challenge, then Crysis 3's fast-paced multiplayer is just for you. There's even a playlist for those who prefer a classic feel, sans-nanosuit. Overall, if you want a change of pace, then Crysis 3 is for you.… Expand

9/10. Best looking Crysis FPS to Date. Marvelous Sound, Gameplay and Story. If the story was longer than the 5-6 hours I would have given this a easy 10/10. As well, The Replay Value for this game is Very High. A lot of gun and various game modes. The most fun I've had online in some time.

I just now finished the campaign; it's a really good game. My initial impressions weren't too favorable, and the game does have its flaws, but as an alternative to all the cookie cutter military shooters out there, it is outstanding. Amazing graphics, gameplay that allows you to play however you choose, and a really well designed and thought out campaign. Highly recommended.

Explore,Collect everything and complete all the quests, Crysis 3 turns out to be a rewarding and sufficiently long-lived shooter and the visuals are simply astonishing. (jaw-dropping visuals)

First let me say this, the reason this game has a 7.8 right on Metacritic is because of the campaign. It is okay, but it's too short and there's too many issues with it. So reviewers are giving the campaign a 7 pretty much or even a 6. If you look at the multiplayer, it's highly upgraded from Crysis 2 and the framerates are more manageable than on the campaign. I would personally give the multiplayer a 10 or a 9.5. This is considering I have put massive amounts of hours into Call of Duty games, Battlefield games, Gears of War games, etc. I love those other games, but Crysis 3's multiplayer feels just right. It's very unique and different than any other fps multiplayer, despite what some people may say.

Remember when you see the 7.8 score Crysis 3 has, that the campaign is dragging that overall score down so much. If you don't mind skipping fps campaigns and prefer hopping right online and gettin at it, I would highly recommend this game. It has a 10/10 fun factor and every online match plays out dynamically and differently. So I'd say ill give the campaign a 7 and the multiplayer a 10. That would be a score of 8.5 overall but the fun factor, ambition of the developers, and the fact that the development team is actually listening to players suggestions on the mycrysis.com forums and making swift changes to improve the game, makes me want to bump the score up some. The graphics look amazing on my pro calibrated lcd tv, on 1080p Xbox 360s 260gb. For a 7 year old system, it's sort of stunning that the developers were able to make the game look so good. There are bad things about the game like, the campaign overall, rare audio glitch(can be fixed by resetting xbox though), some sketchy textures on the metallic maps, and low player population online(1000-2500 depending on the time of day). Overall this game is a joy to play and reminds me of my younger days when I used to play sega genesis games for the fun of it. This game can really get fun and exciting online, I can only suggest that you try it out yourself... you may like it … Expand

I love science fiction and when science fiction meets gaming, Crysis is what you get. Crysis 3 takes place about 28 years after the second game so, New York has changed a lot. Crytek did a great job on the story this time around and I really cared for the characters in the game, especially Prophet and Psycho. The graphics, even though less stunning than the pc version, are still truly amazing on the consoles. The gameplay is exactly what you would expect from a Crysis game and the levels are a lot more open like in the first game. The gameplay is tight, responsive, and everything works the way it should. The multiplayer is pretty fun and a lot more thought was put into it than Crysis 2. Crysis 3 is a great game, it's only downfall is that it's not long enough. I played the game on veteran and managed to beat the game in about 7 hours, that's the only reason i'm giving this game a 9. Crysis 3 is awesome and if you love science fiction and first person shooters, look no further.… Expand

Visually the best game for PS 3 and X360 by far. There are some minor bugs in SP(Sound dissapearing and some grapichbugs..) but still a very solid game and a good ending to the current consolegeneration.

Crysis 3 is an awesome game was a good way. I found an error in our game a lot, I think it was much better than the Halo 4. Good gameplay, nanosuit, invisibility, charming gameplay, good graphics. But for some reason, I feel that the game is not perfect. I appreciate the game graphics, gameplay, and so under.

Crysis 3 is a fantastic game. Stunning visuals, fast and progressive storyline. Not to mention the new bow and the ability to kill things and remained cloaked. Some of the visuals are jaw dropping for a console of this age. The odd problem here and there but what do you expect, this is pushing things to the limit and beyond.

Crysis 3 disappointed me back in E3 2012 but thankfully the game really exceeded my expectations by almost a mile. So, what makes this game so great? First of all, its the Cryengine 3 and its awesome capabilities that gives the game such a unique and expensive feel to it, and im not just talking about the technical graphics, I'll cover the rest later. Speaking of graphics (I could go on for an our about how incredible the graphics are) Crysis 3 is no doubt the best looking game on all platforms. While still impressive on consoles, it's an early next-gen experience for PC gamers. The game is so packed with details it's sometimes hard not to just wander around and marvel at the visuals. I played the game on PS3 as well, and I eventually found myself zooming in at a plant with my sniper rifle, surprisingly the plant was still high-res and detailed unlike most other console games where the texture would end up looking washed out. This, in a console game! When it comes to artistic design developer Crytek has decided to combine the lush jungle environment in the first game (just like the fans wanted) with the urban setting of Crysis 2 and made the city of New York a giant greenhouse(literary an urban jungle this time). This is pure nature reclaiming what belongs to it. The beautiful trees and plants, the water, the tall grass, the excellent sound design and the addition of new lensflares makes the environment come to life. It creates an atmosphere of humidity and heat I've never experienced before. The music score is also very well done if not better than crysis 2 in some areas, this shows that crysis 3 will not only please your eyes, but ears as well. I really recommend playing the game with headphones (adds to the experience a lot). So back to Cryengine 3, the core design method of the series. Did I mention Crysis 3 is a mix of 1 and 2? The level design works like a funnel. It's pretty straight forward and dialog heavy at first but later on the game expands itself throughout until it's very much comparable to the original Crysis, you even have vehicles to drive around with although not as many as in Crysis 1. Considering the amount of tools, mechanics, and nanosuit finesses in these 7 environments the possibilities are almost overwhelming. Simply play in a way that fits your personal style. Crysis has always been about adaptive warfare, that means you control the pacing by choosing your path, and you can use the environment to your advantage. This allow for a ridiculous amount of replay value not to mention the many collectibles and weapon attachments spread out in the liberty dome. The human enemy Cell AI is the best I've seen in a videogame. They rarely glitch (cough* crysis 2 cough*) and feel like real soldiers at times. They communicate and respond in a believable way and can think tactically (call for reinforcements, regroup and assault etc). The traditional Ceph grunt is similar to the ones in crysis 2 (except they doesn't get stuck in walls), however here we get to experience newer ceph units such as a big metallic, fire breathing bug or a velociraptor like stalker unit with long sharp claws. I don't think people realize how advanced and how much effort has been put into the Cryengine 3. Story wise the dialog shows mercy to its audience this time. Many didn't like the story of crysis 2 because it was so cryptic, Crysis 3 in the other hand fills nearly all questions and holes of the series, It explains why the enemy ceph are so different in crysis 2 compared to 1 for an example. The game is definitely the most story driven of the three, there is so much depth and detail to it and if you really understand the story of the crysis universe you will be interested. (details also referred to as cell intel) The story also focuses a lot on characters and dialog especially the relationship between Prophet (main character) and Psycho (side character), they both have solid personalities. The dialog is about distrust and can get quite touching and psychological at times, voice acting is also well done. Multiplayer has been very much refined fixing a lot of the bugs and flaws of the previous game, unfortunately there is no powerstruggle mode fans have been raving about as the game expands upon the crysis 2 multiplayer. There are a few innovative modes such as "Hunter mode" but there is also the traditional team deathmatch and capture the flag. There is a progression and customization system similar to many other mp shooters. You have many different weapons, perks and attachment. The gameplay is incredibly fluid and almost feels like an arena shooter. A VTOL and an alien walker has been added to the mix to spread the chaos even more. Multiplayer is something most people will enjoy but I personally play Crysis for its singleplayer. Crysis 3 is a super game in almost every way so it gets a 9.5 out of 10.… Expand

Crysis 3 is probablly in my top 5 games so far this year. I picked up Crysis 2 about a week before its release on February 19th and I was so impressed by the story, gameplay and graphics I shelled out 65 dollars the next day at my local Gamestop because it won me over that fast. Its amazing and I know the story was about 6-7 hours long and I give that an 8/10 because even for its length it was worth it. The online multiplayer was so unique and fun that I give that a 10/10 so overall it gets a 9/10. Best shooter so far next to Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel which is everything I love in a shooter and a co-op game… Expand

Just finished C3 on a Xbox and thought it was excellent. I've also played the first two, the first on a PC and the second on PS3. I felt this was the best of the trio. I enjoyed the character development and the story line. The graphics were very well done and I found the game play submersive.
