The excellent multiplayer deserves to be the focus here, rather than the repetitive, humourless, and largely artless first person shooting of the single-player campaign.

Superb graphics are amongst the best of the generation; The nanosuit is still an interesting idea and the bow is great; Multiplayer mode is hugely entertaining

Bland set pieces and unremarkable weapons and enemies; Uneven artificial intelligence, and unbalanced difficulty; Story and characters make zero impact

This game has a pretty good story, and pretty nice graphics. it has an about average story line, somewhat interesting, but not unlike others I have...

good story; nice graphics

different playstyle than used to

I can't even say that installing it to the Xbox helps as I had the game installed since the beginning. Overall it's worth a rental to play the single player but the downsides for the game outweigh the pros. It is fun and maybe after some updates it will help the game fix a lot of its problems.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, or so John Keats said. In some cases, I would heartily agree, but Crysis 3 proves one thing for sure; this is not an absolute.

The best looking game of all time; Period; A fitting and well composed soundtrack, Unintelligible story; Shallow, rinse and repeat gameplay with stale mechanics; Awful vehicle section

+ Hunter mode; + Visuals are stunning; + The bow is awesome

The bow also breaks the game; Campaign is a snore fest; Atrocious enemy AI; Series feels like it is regressing

Was anyone really dying for a third game in the Crysis series? Sure, the first game had some next-level visuals and FPS combat in wide, open environments, but the second game narrowed that down and took Crysis down the path of the more traditional, linear games set along narrow paths that we usually...

Hate story, like power-stealth, and love multiplayer? Get in.

Redeeming multiplayer; Looks fantastic; Stealthy bow-crawling is great; Harder levels much more rewarding

Story fails to engage; Short campaign; Potential realised slightly too late

By and The first person shooter genre is riddled with the good, the bad, and the awful. Franchises like Call of Duty and Halo dominate sales because overall, they excel at their own identity. Many have tried to copy them, but few have managed to get the formula just right.

When Crytek released the memory-melting, graphics card seizing monster known as Crysis way back when, there was dense foliage as far as the eye could see. The Lingshan Islands provided the perfect environment for players to get their "Predator on", blending into the background became their biggest...
