The Good: Slick, mission-based gameplay makes for intense, focused pockets of action. Constantly updated objectives make sure you are never at a loss of where to go and what to do. Interesting classes are balanced well and are equally enjoyable to play. Strong shooting model makes it fun to mow down the opposition .
The Bad: No voice chat functionality, even for fire teams. Vehicle and aircraft key bindings aren’t completely separate from infantry keys.

Earth, 2019: A colossal asteroid crashes down to Earth.
The North Korean Government quickly seals off the island chain, claiming the mysteries of the asteroid for themselves. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation and report back to the Pentagon. Amid rising tensions between the US and North Koreans, the asteroid suddenly bursts open, revealing a massive, 2km high alien ship. The ship generates an immense force sphere, freezing a vast portion of the island and drastically altering the global weather system. The invasion of Earth has begun.
Crysis offers players a highly immersive FPS experience in which they will have to adapt their tactics, weaponry, armor and gameplay style to survive and defeat the alien invasion.
