PCGamer Reviews Crysis



Just got my latest December issue of PCGamer and they have the world's first Crysis review. It got a 98%, which is pretty damn good for PCGamer standards. They also mentioned the single player takes around 12 hours to complete.

Highs: A graphical powerhouse, immersive, open-ended sandbox that encourages emergent gameplay, well-placed storyline, meticulously detailed; engrossing multiplayer, included map editor.

Lows: Alien AI not as spectacular as North Korean AI; enemies can sometimes absorb too much damage; a few minor glitches.

Bottom Line: Destined to be a classic, Crysis is a creative and technological marvel that eclipses every other shooter released this year.

98%. That ties it with HL2 and Alpha Centauri as the highest rated PC games by PCGamer.

Qonf, why were you hoping it would tank? :S

The highest score PCG UK has ever given anything is 96% I believe; HL2 among others. I think the review is in this month's edition which came out the other day so I'll pick it up tomorrow.

a few minor glitches and AI that could be fixed, and enemies taking too much damage knocks off 2%?

are we getting soft? I'd knock off 10% for that many annoyances.

Any game score over 95% is pretty retarded imo. No game is perfect. Crysis is fun, but it's still pretty much the same as farcry, but with a few added gameplay elements (suit).

98%?! It can't be that good. Surely?

Half-Life got 97%, and Half-Life 2 got %98 from PC Gamer USA. I'll wait for UK edition too.
