Crysis is a first person shooter videogame developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts.
By the creators of Far Cry comes a new FPS that will blow your mind away. Here is Crysis, the most beautiful FPS ever made taking place again in a superb island that looks as real as any place on earth.

Contrary to its previous game, Crytek takes us to a close future, in the years 2020. A group of archeologists discover something amazing in the China Sea but are quickly stopped and taken captive by the North Korean Army. As a response, the United States send a Delta Team in which you are, Jake Dun known as Nomad. You'll be sent on the island as super soldiers since you have the nano suit technology. There, you'll quickly discover what the archeologist had found, non-friendly aliens and will have to fight both them and humans to stay alive in this island that quickly becomes hell.

The game takes back most of Far Cry's aspects. As to say you evolve in an open island where you'll kill with a very varied arsenal. But the novelty relies in the nano suit. Your suit will help you grandly in your survival and has four different utilizations: armor, strength, speed and cloak. Each of them will enhance your characteristics as long as you have the energy to power your suit. The suit offers great and intense action sequences where you'll be able to throw anything you want with your super strength or jump high into the air and shoot from there. However, don't think because you have this technology, you're indestructible. Enemy soldiers are smarter than ever and if they see you, they won't hesitate a second to call back up and start firing at will.

Crysis, as said before, the most beautiful FPS ever done. You'll want to play this game just to admire the sights and travel in this sublime island. But in addition, the game is wonderful and will offer you hours of fun as a super-soldier.
