Psychosocial
Violent serenity.
Hello guyz. Back with one more game review. This time I am going to present my views and post what I think of Crysis Warhead. It was one of the most anticipated releases of this year. With GameSpot and IGN giving it a near perfect, I thought you guyz might wanna check out a fellow gamer's review. So here I am. Without further ado, lets move on.
Introduction ->
Crysis Warhead is a stand-alone expansion pack to the higly-acclaimed shooter, Crysis. Based on the CryEngine 2, it delivers immense action coupled with amazing visuals and mind-blowing sound. Crysis was a system killer and so is Warhead but it is optimised to look and run better. The story is the same as Crysis but here, you play as Sgt. "Psycho" Sykes. It shows what he did on the other side of the island while Nomad was busy fragging badies on one side. This game is way more intense then the previous installment.
Story (8/10) -->
As said before, its nothing new. But what is there, its good. It shows the hardships that Psycho faced while battling KPA and aliens. If you havent played the original Crysis, then you will find this confusing.
Graphics(9.5/10)-->
One word........awesome!! Best graphics to graze ANY gaming platform. Add to that the game's optimisation. It will run on High at a respectable resolution with a card of the calibre of 8600GT. The lightning, models, etc is done in a very well manner. The water looks real and some people might be fooled into thinking that its actually a movie rather than a game. The game is worth getting for its graphics alone.
Sound(9/10)-->
Sound is done very well too. The guns sound like they should and the voice-overs are awesome. Especially of Psycho. Though I had one gripe, the explosions sound a little under-powered but the flaw wont become a kink in your gaming path!
Gameplay(8.5/10)-->
Aah! The core of any game. Despite some flaws, the game is just amazing. The core remains the same with the Nanosuit and all but its more intense and has more visecral action!! The slow pace of Crysis which used to set the mood off but no more with Warhead. The action starts right after 5mins into the game and stops at the last minute. The KPA come in hordes of 5-25 and aliens come in large numbers too. AI is improved. The aliens dont just hover over you anymore. They shoot and try to kill you. The functions of the Nanosuit remain the same with 4 modes (Armour, Strength, Cloak and Speed). The gun system is almost the same. You can customise it by adding different sights and scopes. You can add and remove silencers, etc. There are 2 new weapons. One is a mini-uzi kinda gun which replaces your Pistol (if you choose so!) and you can dual-weild it. Its so much fun to shoot with this babies! The next is a grenade laucher. It can hold upto 6 grenade at a time and then lauch one at a time. This is gonna be your best friend in the game soon!The vehicle handling is improved too! All in all, the gameplay is as good as graphics with some faults with AI.
Final Thoughts-->
This game is a must play for any action/FPS fan. Go grab it now!
