Crysis on console - reviews are in!

Crysis on console - reviews are in!

With the recent release of Crysis on console, reviews have started to build up and we wanted to share with you some of the great things reviewers have to say about it!

There’s a secret that Crysis has always held. A secret that’s masked behind the faithfully imagined chickens and the motion blur and the way the sun dapples through the canopy onto the surface-scattered faces of the Korean military elite. A secret subsumed in the three-grand PC rigs and the vitriolic bajillion frames per second on the all-new mega-ultra-fantastico graphics mod. A simple secret. That Crysis is one of the finest FPS ever created.

While the latter portion of Crysis isn't as good as what precedes it, the game as a whole still ranks as one of the best FSP campaigns of the modern gaming era. The console port is excellent, so if you've never had a PC up to the job now's your chance to see what all the fuss was about.

For a four-year-old game, Crysis is still one of the best first person shooters I’ve ever played. Despite its age, the game still manages to have that “spark” that gamers love when it comes to shooter games. If you didn’t have a chance to play Crysis when it was released on the PC, you have another chance to play it and see why Crysis got the glory and glamour it deserved when it was first released. The only downside for the remastered edition is that it doesn’t have multiplayer, but the graphics, story, and intense gameplay will be enough to make that $20 purchase worth it.

The entire time I played, Crysis ran beautifully, with nary a hitch or a framerate dip. Even on my 2011 gaming PC, Crysis hits some framerate issues when I run it at ultra-spec. But I saw no slowdown as I fought my way through guard posts, across bridges, over beaches and through the jungle. All of the open, emergent fun of Crysis is here, and it's more playable than ever.

Gunplay has made the transition to console smoothly as well. There's the aim assists common in most shooters when looking down the sights, and the guns don't have the greatest sense of weight when you carry them, leading to an overall smoother feel when in frantic combat. The weapon modding system of the series is of course here and still flaunts its patten intuitiveness. By holding down the back button you can bring up your weapon and customize its scopes, under-barrels, silencers and the like. It's been a joy to use in past Crysis games and it's no different here.

Have you got your hands on Crysis yet? We'd love to hear your thoughts as well, MyCrysis :)

    It's great that console owners, like myself, finally received the original, The only problem is that it's only a digital copy. I was hoping for a physical copy of the video game like the rest of my collection.

    I loved Crysis 2 on my xb360. I played Crysis on my PC a few years ago and I am glad I paid the $20 (what a great deal!)to get it on my xb360 now. It looks great, performs great, and is every bit as fun on the 360 as it was on the PC. I hope they port Crysis:Warhead over also!

    Man, I wish I could get this update on my PC version, I am not feeling the love.
    I don't own a console and I would gladly replay this game, hell I'd fork out another 20 bucks.

    I think crytek did a great job. Considering it looks to be one of the top downloaded games on XBL I would think Warhead would be in the pipeline along with some sort of mp. Hopefully we don't have to wait long.
    Anyway, if there is one technical feature I'd like to have on consoles is an improved framerate.

    Having played it originally on my pc and now on my 360, I have to say its still just as fun. The transition from pc to console was excellent. The Cry Engine 3 works great! With that said, PLEASE BRING WARHEAD TO CONSOLES AS WELL!!!! I have Warhead for my pc and would love to have it for my 360. Give the console guys a chance to be Sykes. It will sell! Look at how Crysis 1 is doing. Thank you for bringing this to consoles. Now bring Warhead to consoles!

    great game but according to my friends who have the PC version us console gamers get screwed with the suit energy which takes the fun out of the stealth mode. Great Single player campaign but would lovbe to player online with friends who live far away but it is what it is. If anything my only complaint is the nanosuit energy useage.

    I'm glad you put out Crysis on 360 because now Crysis 2 makes more sense with the backdrop from Crysis. For a 4 year old game it's one of the the best FPS I've ever played! Well worth the 20 dollars I spent!!!

    I've had a thorn on my side for four years now, ever pricking in the back of my mind. When Crysis came out in 2007, I knew I'd never get my PC up to the specs required to run this game. I had resigned to watching vids on Youtube, assuming that I'd never try it myself, content with getting the excellent sequel on PS3.

    Well, good things do come to those that wait, and the PS3 port of Crysis 1 is very good indeed! I'm having lots of fun with it. The graphics are much better than anticipated, and the game play runs smoothly for the most part. A few glitches were to be expected, but they do not seriously detract fun from the experience.

    For 20$, this is a real bargain!

    20 dollars well spent, enjoyed every moment of playing the original Crysis, it's a shame I didn't have a gaming PC back in 2007, but shockingly this game looks and runs better than a lot of brand new games today. Too bad for no multiplayer,but I suppose with Crysis 2 now the original Crysis and Crysis wars multiplayer is out dated. Thank you Crytek for adding in R1 R2 L1 L2 flip for the PS3 control scheme!

    Now that Crysis has been successfully brought to consoles, is there any chance of getting to play Crysis Warhead? Most of us who didn't get to play the Original Crysis on PC, also did not get to play Crysis Warhead. I would pay 20 dollars of my good money to play Warhead as a digital download.
