Impressions: Crysis on the PS3

Crysis is one PC game I always wanted to play and with me always owning a piece of shit PC that never runs anything I didn't think I would ever get the chance. That all changed thanks to EA releasing the game on the PS3 and I have to admit I quite enjoyed the experience although the game was pretty easy even on the hardest setting. (Apart from one part which took me a couple of attempts to get past)

The game weighs in at around 6-7 hours of game play, with pretty good graphics on the PS3 version (Although it still has some occasional bouts of not looking all that crisp on some sections of the game) The game puts you in the shoes of Lieutenant Jake Dune (Codenamed: Nomad) and sees you as part of a team travelling to North Korea to save some archaeologists who have been captured after making an important discovery. Shortly after that the shit hits the fan as not only are the Korean's trying to kill you but also gain the power of what has been discovered in the mountains by the archaeological team.

If that wasn't bad enough things get even worse when you learn that the discovery is an alien vessel, which along with the aliens on board come back to life. So now you have to do the one thing every shooter has you attempting to do, and that's blow the son of a bitches to pieces. The game as a whole is a quite enjoyable and will keep you entertained as you play through it. The only bad thing I can say is that there is no reason to play the game once finished (Unless you won't to grab that last trophy that you may have missed) The hardest difficulty isn't really that hard apart from in about 2 sections but even these you can get past after a couple of attempts.

Overall for the price (£15.99) you get a decent enough single player experience that you will enjoy. However that is all you get, no multi-player or re-playability, so with that in mind you may want to give Crysis a miss if that kind of thing bothers you. Personally though I think with some of the crap I have played that cost nearly 3 times as much as Crysis you are getting a good deal.
