Yeah, you heard me.

I've been playing the COD games for so long it's a bit of an adjustment to get into the sci-fi aspect of the weapons and shields and stuff. Got stuck in a battle for a bit and then I remembered that I had the invisible cloak thingy so I just activated that and walked right on by :)

Graphics and the settings are awesome and so are the battles. Sound is good but hearing your own footsteps is annoying because you stop but the steps keep coming and you think someone is coming up behind you. I played a few MP matches and it looks like it could be a lot of fun. I just didn't get into it long enough to figure out all the features. The MP maps were incredibly detailed.

Just a few hours in and it's got my full attention so I'm going to highly recommend this game :thumbsup

Just keep playing. The game gets better as it goes. Games like COD are cookie cutter, installment of the year BS. Crysis is art.

Always cloak before entering an area and make an assessment of where to strike first. Use your visor to tag targets, take cover when you're wrecked and allow power to recharge so you get back in the fight.

I'm playing on a 50" plasma with surround sound sitting in a gaming chair with a buttKicker and the lights turned off. This game does an incredible job of creating a feeling that makes you feel like you are part of it. In other words the immersion factor is about a 10. It really draws you into the scene.

Another thing I really like about it is the way they give you several ways to approach your objective. I got in a fight on a city street and worked my way around running from cover to cover until I could get a good shot in and it was just plain fun.

I can't wait to get on it some more :thumbsup
