Crysis

Verdict: Brilliant concept, let down by really poor game play and bugs in the final scenes.

The first scenes through the jungle are sublime - faultless; but then it all goes wrong: the gravity-free zone was tedious and the final carrier zone reminded me of N64 Goldeneye (which was ground breaking nine years ago, mundane now) and the final scene was so buggy it was almost unplayable - even with a Q6600 and a 8800GTX. Crysis 2 could be brilliant, focus on tactical game play with interactive targets - and ditch the big boss killing scene!
