Crysis Warhead

Crysis: Warhead is a first person shooter, and at the center of the game is your Nano suit which can enhance your characters features. This feature is a great way to customize the game for different type of gamers. You can for instance use the stealth mode to sneak up on your opposition and kill them quietly or use the Shield mode, where you can take more punches while you take down your opposition. There are also a strength mode and a speed mode that you can use in different combat situations. This creates a great replay value for the game, because you will have to excel in different types of gaming techniques, depending on which modes you use. The weaponry is quite varied and the weapons themselves can be combined with new scopes, silencers, ammunition etc. Together with the Nano suit modes this creates a really good customization feature for your character. A new scope might for instance suddenly make an “old” weapon more useful than one that you pick up later in the game. This is one of the greatest features of the Crysis series, as it fun to check out the new upgrades during the game, and use them to perfect your tactical approach.



The game play in itself is really just more of the same things that you got in Crysis, but it is well executed, and in a more intense tempo. You basically move through the landscapes killing your opponents, to get to a specific area, where you get a new objective to move towards. Sometimes this is easiest to do by vehicles, and sometimes by foot. I found the game to be a bit easier than the original Crysis, and considering the short single player campaign, maybe it would have been better to make it a bit harder. You can of course set the game to a higher level from the beginning, so it is not a big problem.

Good Things

Fantastic graphics, which you have come to expect from the Crytek studios.

It is a great price for a beautiful and fun game, considering it also contains Crysis Wars.

Stand alone! I honestly do not understand why they do not make more expansions “stand alone” They are effectively blocking out a large portion of the market by not making expansions as stand alone.

Bad Things

Short single player campaign

Hell yeah!

This is a great game package, for a great price. It will not disappoint any Crysis fans or new players, but it might leave them wanting more!
