Crysis 3

Crysis 3 is a polished iteration on the previous Crysis titles. Its campaign mode features some much needed soul beneath the sci-fi sheen, which gives a sense of purpose to all the killing that has been previously absent from the series. While its multiplayer mode isn’t quite strong enough to tear you away from the genre leaders for long, it at least provides enough of its own flavour to present a worthy alternative. It’s not quite a next generation experience come early, but it’s a superbly controlled, tightly paced and tactically flexible shooter with a satisfyingly focussed story, and an e...

It'll always be hard for Crytek to capture the magic from the original game, but Crysis 3 is close on many fronts. More freedom in single player, more options in multiplayer, Crysis 3 feels like the most complete game in the franchise.

Crysis 3 is a polished and accomplished FPS that warrants its place among the Xbox 360’s top shooters. While the game is unbalanced and only offers a significant challenge on the higher difficulty settings, the quality of the visuals, the diversity it offers, and the focus on tactics and strategy makes this an absolute joy to play and a refreshing experience when compared to other titles in this genre. Despite its notable shortcomings, Crysis 3 oozes production value, and the cut-scenes and cinematic set-pieces only serve to remind you that this game is amongst the best examples of the FPS gen...

A devolution from open-world brilliance and a far cry from compelling, Crysis 3 is a serviceable sci-fi shooter with noteworthy multiplayer and a story that just barely warrants attention.

Another wit-and-humourless jaunt through nonsensical plotting, dumb enemies, and prescribed action, with only glimpses of the series' potential.

Trouble is brewing once again in the post-apocalyptic world of Crysis, thanks to the evil Cell Corporation and alien Ceph, so it’s time to once again don the series’ hi-tech nanosuit for some sci-fi shooting and sneaking action. But can the promising addition of a handy bow for stealthy kills turn the series into a must-play first-person shooter?

Crytek seem to have this innate ability to forget what made their previous games liked and fail to address any complaints – so with Crysis 3 we once again see poor checkpointing, an abundance of non-human encounters, not so fun shooting, linear enclosed areas, and forgetting about human enemies altogether after the halfway point. Their best looking game yet, but also their weakest. Nevermind guys, now you can get working on that free-to-play future you’re so certain will make you so succe...

Ever since 2007, Crytek has been wowing gamers with its technical prowess in the Crysis franchise. Generally held aloft as this generation’s delectable slice of eye candy, it’s a franchise that’s effectively carried itself on visuals alone. The convoluted stories and soulless gameplay have sometimes been overshadowed by the fantastic visual experience that Crytek can deliver, but with this generation’s consoles seemingly pushed to the max already, Crysis 3 needed to up its game.

Team Deathmatch is also incredibly fun to play. The level variety makes it feel fresh from other games and the Nanosuit really changes things up. All in all, I really like the way that the developers have added their little touches in order to make sure that every single multiplayer mode feels different from any other game.
