You should never look at IGN ratings alone while assessing a game. I bought 2 - 3 lousy games a couple of years back because of this mistake.Third Eye said:
Look at reader ratings too. For Crysis, it is 8.7 average which is good but not great.
Also, play Crysis ONLY if you have at least 8600 GT + 2 GB RAM and play in XP / DX9. Then perhaps you will be OK.

Ok one person at a forum i visit has already bought this game & here are his views (He has a 8800 gts 640 MB) :-
Also he found a cheap Very high tweak for the game, here it follows:-
'Very High' On The Cheap
There's another thing you can try if you find Very High mode is just a bit too strenuous for your system. You can try the "cheap" version of Very High, which basically only implements the more obvious visual enhancements of Very High. To do this, instead of editing your .cfg files as covered above, all you need to do is set your in-game settings all to High as normal, then add the following commands to your System.cfg file (or just test them in the console first): r_UsePOM=1, r_sunshafts=1, e_water_ocean_fft=1, q_Renderer=3 and r_colorgrading=1. This will make High look extremely similar to Very High in most respects, but with quite a bit less of a performance hit. In a pinch, if you still need extra FPS, try disabling one of the effects, though keep in mind that q_Renderer=3 is necessary for color grading to work. You can also turn off Edge AA (r_UseEdgeAA=0) to make things look crisper and boost performance further.

The screenshot comparison above shows that the cheap method looks very close to the real Very High, with the exception of some additional foliage, better water reflections and a few more objects visible in the distance on the left hand side. The FPS difference however is noticeable, as shown at the top right of each shot - 20FPS on the left vs. 26FPS on the right in this example. But this is just the quick way to get Very High on the cheap; obviously if you want to do things in more depth and tailor it to suit your own tastes (which I recommend), then read through the Advanced Tweaking section of this guide and put together your own custom configuration.
Also he has written a tweak guide on the game, here is the link its pretty good :-

Looks like COD4 totally pwned Crysis!

hey guys, apart the gameplay, the graphics and the reality are, in one word, sh1t. I don't know how the game looks like on highest on dx 10 but on high in dx9 isn't worth playing. Far cry was innovative, for this game i don't know,. some things are better done in oblivion or in gothic, not to mention some physics that are better even in GTA or half life 2. I'l now try to play the campaign, but, the first impression is... a great dissapointment
I hoped also for some 'distraction' ability, sure you can grab that branch or whatever, but if you throw it with comuflage on, it will be turned off in a sec.. so for what can i pick up all that stuff and can't use it do distract enemies??
The Gfx looks great, but that's it for me as far.. i killed 2 tanks and one helicopter..
Try to go on higher ground and **** camouflage, the AI is too stupid to catch you if you are on roof or even few rocks higher..
they try to flank you, but then forgot in the half distance where they actually were running..
COD:
The mission in COD, in Russia, where you have to take out the Heli with the stinger [an old Mi-8!] and it maneuvers, tries to turn and accelerates, pop's flares and flies in circles around you, it actually behaves as an helicopter would
CRYSIS:
Helicopter starts shooting with the Mini gun, hover's over an Area, no flyby's, nothing, you lunch an rocket, and the Ka-50 just Hovers in same place waiting for another rocket to come i mean it wasn't even hard to shoot this thing down
You can blast a shad with an granade, but an Tank with an 90+ mm cannon shoots into the same shad and nothing happens...
1. When you pickup chickens, why dont they fly when you toss them??? they just die and do the ragdoll flipflop. Oh and how come there so damn slow?? maybe the koreans feed them too much.
2. How come the ground isnt deformable like in the original farcry?? I wanted to make some craters!
3. How come the enemy dies when you toss them into the water? Don't Koreans know how to swim??
4. And.. why did the black guy and mexican have to get killed first in your team?? Its like the movies from the 80s LOL
5. Oh yah, next time you come across a shack with 4 poles holding it up, knock 3 poles out and watch the last one defy the laws of gravity and keep the roof held up
6. Yah you cant shoot through walls, even if you want to, you have to just knock them down instead.
7. Is it just my computer, or are there no bullet wound marks on the enemies after they got shot?
8. When you toss the frogs in the air, they dont come back down
9. how can 4 punches kill a person? Or is nomad just friggin strong, without the strenght mod? :O
10. Why can't you shoot heli pilots with the sniper rifle?????
seems almost like a dupe of farcry but with less AI somehow.
COD4 was about 50x better than this.
Looks like COD4 totally pwned Crysis!
