What's great about it: Graphics are beautiful, AI are challenging, Freedom in campaign.
What's not so great: AI / Game Bugs, Graphics errors,
these 3 Crysis games, Crysis, Crysis War Head, and Crysis Wars are the best PC gaming experience out there. I have had hours of enjoyment both on the campaigns and the multi player modes.
Crysis-
The first Crysis in my opinion has the best Campaign game play. This game really gives you freedom like no other First Person shooter I have played. You can enter each objective a different way each time on a very large map that is swarming with enemy's. Excitement and Story line is pretty good, it does kinda have a movie like feel to it that some people might not like, but I loved it. I love how this campaign escalates, and towards the end there is a full scale war, and then to top it off there is another enemy even worse.

Crysis War Head-
This is a great added story to the Crysis Series. it gives you a whole new point of view. A bit more exciting, more enemy's, and your nano suit is even more beefed up making the game easier yet possibly more fun. Just like the first Crysis it has gun customizations during combat, and of course the 4 nano suit functions. Crysis War Head is definitely easier and definitely shorter, however its a great exciting story line. I loved the Back Story to this game with O'Neil. gave you a sense of emotion and realism to an already very realistic game. Crysis War Head has a bit less freedom then the first Crysis and the AI are easier and the games more fast paced. however it still requires a good use of the nano suit to prevail.

Crysis Wars-
a Tough but fun and rewarding online game, very challenging game online, im not going to lie. very different from most FPS games. Crysis Wars ads some nice features such as Team Death match, more guns, and in my opinion better game play. For Power Struggle you have to capture, and make money to bye nuke weapons to destroy enemy base, team death match is just killing (No money to be made, guns are on map)

Overall amazing game, Very High/ Enthusiast settings is truly impressive. blew me away when I first played it.
For awesome Performance at a "fairly high res" on very high I would go with a GTX 260/ Radeon 4870 or higher video card.

What's great about it: Price, gameplay, graphics, story
What's not so great: Some bugs, high system requirements (for eye candy)
This has got to be the greatest gaming deal of all time for me: the two best-looking games of all time (and my all-timefavorites) coupled together with the improved multiplayer offering for only 40 bucks? Done!
Crysis is the best game I have ever played in terms of gameplay and graphics. I have constantly played it pretty much every day ever since I got it, and I still haven't tired of it: there are so many options you have to choose from to complete objectives. It's great fun to toy with the AI (which is more than decent) and shoot up the landscape - although I wish it was MORE destructible, like Bad Company or Red Faction: Guerilla. And I never get tired of looking at the vistas - this game is just beautiful. If you get tired of the campaign (which is amazing) you can always hop on over to CryMod.com and download the user mods there; they have their own maps and single-player missions, which are great fun.
I've encountered some bugs in the game, like Koreans occasionally dying by tripping over each other, as well as sound bugs, but they're mostly minor - and the patches fix them up. And I'm sorry, but Nomad's voice actor SUCKS! Everyone else is great-sounding though.
Crysis Warhead is also amazing, and I love the optimized CryEngine 2. Everything looks better, and runs better as well. There's more action, but it's a bit more linear - I could care less about the latter. And the multiplayer is excellent, although it takes a while to get used to it, as the people online are generally much more experienced. Power Struggle is awesome fun.
To make the games more realistic and last longer, make sure to play them on Delta difficulty. This makes the Koreans actually speak Korean, and enhances the alertness and intelligence of the enemy AI, making it a lot more deadly. Plus, it's more fun this way: on the default setting, I swear it was a milk run for me.
I apologize for this atrocious cliche, but Crysis kills computers. If you want Crysis to look great, make sure you have a good computer and (especially) GPU. Myself, I had to suffer through months of playing this game with a GeForce 8400 GS at 800x600 at Med-Low before I got a new card, at which point I could max out everything except anti-aliasing and still get decent FPS.
My specs:
AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core @ 2.70GHz
6GB DDR2
640GB WD HDD
NVidia GeForce 9800 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3
Windows 7 Ultimate x64, Windows Vista Home Premium x64

What's great about it: Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, Good Story.
What's not so great: System Specs
Great game overall, and love to play it.
Only thing is it requires a newer computer, but plays nicely on my computer as follows -
2.6ghz AMD 64 dual core
2gb ram
Windows Vista 64 bit
Nvidia 9600 GT (only 76 dollars)

If you want the high quality settings and take advantage of what Crysis offers you wont get decent framerates with my card, but it gets the job done pretty good.

What's great about it: Great FPS can run on a simple computer
What's not so great: No free roam
Crysis Max Edition is great,It's able to run on my 3 GB RAM and 9500 geforce computer great at 19-23 FPS on high settings.
But the only think i don't like about crysis is theres no free roaming,like if you were to travel out of the area you would die,you have to stay in the mission area.
If you like cheats enabled push " ~ " in-game and type "con_restricted = 0" to get cheats to work.
In all,this is the first FPS game I've had and it's the best ever.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Nothing
Is that three of the number 1 most graphical games for 40 bucks? OMG it is! I have never played anything more amazing than Crysis of any kind, and the online is a thrill. This game will keep you entertained for hours. There is 2 story games (Crysis, and Crysis Warhead), and 1 online multiplayer (Crysis Wars). If there are any cons, which you would think is impossible right because it's Crytech Engine's Crysis? Well the standards to run this game are pretty high, but they allow a graphics setting to range from very low to very high, and that way there is a wider range for people to be able to play. The games are very action packed, so I wouldn't totally recomend this game for anyone under 13. Don't forget $40 for 3 games personally worth $50 each.
