Did these people play the same game I did?
I agree, as far as graphics go, this game is a masterpiece. It pushes the boundaries, etc, etc. But better than Half-Life? Gameplay has got to count for something, right? I mean, Half-Life was actually somewhat difficult. The story line was engaging, legendary. Well, you all played HL so I don't have to go into complete detail. Anyway, Crysis gets a 9.5, Half-Life a 9.4.... something is wrong with this picture.
Crysis LOOKS great, but as far as gameplay goes I'd say it is fairly run of the mill. It also lacks polish in a few areas. Difficulty being one of them. The suit makes it too easy. Auto-save will save over a previous checkpoint, so god forbid you miss a missle launcher and get a helicopter chasing you, you'll have to start over from way back or dodge bullets for 15 minutes. Also, everyone in this game has the same 4 or 5 animations. Running, standing, crouching, crouching while walking, walking... everyone moves exactly the same. It's like the Koreans unleashed a clone army.
Oh, and the storyline...
Aliens invade, only one man can save the world. He puts on a special armor suit and takes it to the aliens. Where have I seen this story line before? Oh yeah, I remember now. Half-Life!
