Joking aside now, you know I always try to be as fair as possible (lies!) when reviewing a game. I can honestly say Crysis is a decent First Person Shooter, with some good innovations and a vast open area with many possibilities for exploration and combat.

The game action takes place in a near future where a team of American archeologists is taken captive by the North Korean army just when they apparently found something really important on a tropical island somewhere in the South China Sea.

Your name is Lieutenant Jake Dunn, codename Nomad, and you were sent to search and rescue the missing archeologists, and investigate the strange findings of this team. Along with the other members of your Delta Force Team, codenames Aztec, Jester, Psycho, and the team leader Prophet, you parachute to the island when suddenly everything goes wrong. Some sort of jamming device briefly passes by and all hell breaks loose. Your chute doesn't open, and your team seems to be experiencing the same problems.

Luckily, your Nano Muscle Suit can absorb most of the fall impact, so everyone manages to make it out alive... for now. Unfortunately you, Aztec, Jester, Psycho and Prophet all "land" in different areas of the island, so first the team must reunite.

At this stage you learn a bit more about how the game and your Nano Suit work. Each US soldier in 2020 is equipped with a special Nano Suit that enhances his abilities. Suit "Powers" can be accessed by using the middle mouse click (default). This will open up a radial menu where you can select to boost your strength, speed, armor; cloak or modify your weapon "upgrades". Nomad has two stats: energy and life (hit points). Each Suit "Power" uses energy in its own way: armor absorbs hits while draining it, speed allows you to sprint as long as you have some energy left, strength allows you to perform power jumps, throw far and hit enemies hard with your fists, and cloak makes you invisible.
