This year's biggest FPS game for the PC - CRYSIS™ (Crytek/EA Games) was released worldwide yesterday. Every FPS fan out there must get this game. I can see that the CRYSIS™ Nanosuit will gain the iconic stature shared by the HEV Hazard Suite adorned by Gordon Freeman. It's a shame though that I can't even buy the just-announced nVidia 8800GT priced at a sweet price of $250 I'll need to play it on my home desktop.

The game contains -

An Epic Single Player Campaign – Players are thrust into the middle of a global conflict between the US and North Korea over a mysterious artifact that turns out to be extraterrestrial in nature. Fortunately, players are outfitted with a high tech Nanosuit that allows them to alter their strength, speed, armor and cloaking abilities and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons, helping to even the playing ground against a highly mysterious and intelligent enemy threat.

Multiplayer Reinvented – Crytek has also focused much of their development efforts in creating two unique multiplayer experiences. PowerStruggle is a new, team-based multiplayer mode where players need to work together strategically to capture resource points throughout the map to win the ultimate arms race for nuclear technology. And for those who are looking for a more action-packed experience Crysis also features Instant Action, traditional deathmatch made even more frenetic as every player is outfitted with the revolutionary Nanosuit.

CryENGINE 2TM Sandbox Editor – Also included with Crysis is the complete version of Crytek’s Sandbox Editor. Extremely powerful with a simple user interface, the editor will give the community full access to one of the most powerful design tools in the industry.
