I have now played all three crysis games admittedly I did not finnish the first one but enjoyed the second and hammered the multiplayer until early hours of most mornings.
When the third crysis came out I was not in any hurry to buy it only receiving it when it became free for PlayStation plus members.
I did start to play it putting a fair few hours into it on the first day I started playing it.
Starting as Prophet on a revenge mission after discovering his long term enemy CELL have enclosed New York in Nanodomes which they are using to help them find the alien technology and try for world domination. Ad well as the CELL forces you find out the the alien race Ceph have also returned making live twice as difficult for you.
The maps are made up of swamps, jungles and destroyed parts of the city, working your way though finding nanosuit upgrade, weapons and hidden logs. The maps look nice when outside and in open areas but the buildings don’t nt offer much else.
Crysis 3 gives you all the abilities that the other two games gave you, stealth, Armour, fast running and increased strength. These abilities are upgraded able with perks. You are able to have three perks active at once, all upgradeable though doing requirements, for instance increased armour by obsorbing so much damage.
I did alot of the game by stealthing around the map with my cloak active killing from a distance.
Picking up weapons not only allow you to use them but when you find one with a different addon that you have not seen before unlocks it for you to use on any of that gun you pick up later in the game, adding underbarrel. Scopes, nosel upgrades making you versatile in different ways, getting in close and quiet to long distance.
This time round you are able to use your visor to hack mines, sentry guns and even high light enemy’s all to help out.
My weapon of choice however was the good old trust worthy Bow, which you receive close to the start of the game.
Being able to fire it while remaining stealthed is a massive advantage, as well of having different tipped arrows to help you along. Explosive, scatter. Electric and normal all types for every sernareo.
I finnished the game in about 8 hours, about the the average time of every game at the minute.
Well all in all it was a average game nothing really new and the story was less than impressive. I am glad I did not buy it I am thinking that manybe it’s time for some new stuff instead of the same old.
