Crysis Warhead Review: Crytek's second iteration of the Crysis Wars series

XboxOZ360 | September 28, 2008 | Reviews | PC

A decent review of the latest iteration from Crytek's Crysis Wars series, Crysis Warhead. The review has plenty of screenshots and great gamer video to check out.

Head over there and check out the review now, it is well worth the trip downunder.

The island shooter, Crysis Warhead, is basically a game that is fun to play. The story is not very deep, the game is not very long. But each moment you play is full of thrills and adrenaline pumping action, as this iteration of the Crysis Franchise completely ditches the slow pace of the original and throws you straight into the action every step of the way.

Crysis Warhead acts to fill in the gaps of the story of the original game. Instead of playing as the main protagonist from the original, Nomad, you play as Sykes, another member of Nomad’s squad.

The game begins when Nomad and Sykes part ways from the original and venture to opposite sides of the island, and ends just before both characters meet back up. Sykes story is completely separate but never delves too deep into the story; you’ll know it’s just a compliment to the main story.

I can't wait until Crytek put their games onthe 360 and the PS3. I know they have playable code for the 360 of Crysis and that they most likely have playable code of Warhead for the 360. Yes, the game suses DivX10 on the PC, but it can run quite well on the DivX9.5 and there's many a video showing the differences between the two systems. And if the 360 is using the DivX 9. right now, thatmeans it can run Crysis, and it does.

PC centric developers are havingto develop for multiplatforms now to stay viable. Console slaes and attachement rates exceed the majority of all PC sales. PC sales areas in gaming stores is diminishing each month as they move more and more console centric titles.

So the pressure is on them to come up with more games that sell to both the PC gamer and the console gamer in order to stay in business.

PC gaming will NEVER die out as some seem to think, or as some console gamers want to believe. They can do things consoles will never be able to do, or are even meant to do, but they (consoles) have certainly come a long way from what they used to be thought of. The Next-Gem ones will move them even closer to that invisible line, sooner, rather than later.
