Crysis is a PC sci-fi first-person shooter from the award-winning developer Crytek, the developers of the critically acclaimed Far Cry (MC90).

Earth, 2019: A colossal asteroid crashes down to Earth.

The North Korean Government quickly seals off the island chain, claiming the mysteries of the asteroid for themselves. The United States responds by dispatching an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation and report back to the Pentagon. Amid rising tensions between the US and North Koreans, the asteroid suddenly bursts open, revealing a massive, 2km high alien ship. The ship generates an immense force sphere, freezing a vast portion of the island and drastically altering the global weather system. The invasion of Earth has begun.

The two rival nations unite to stop the aliens and save mankind. The newly formed alliance fights epic battles against the marauding Aliens. With hope rapidly fading, the player must lead a crack squad through lush tropical jungle, harsh frozen landscapes, and finally into the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate Zero G encounter with the aliens.

Crysis offers players a highly immersive FPS experience in which they will have to adapt their tactics, weaponry, armour and gameplay style to survive and defeat the alien invasion.

Crysis uses the leading-edge technology of Crytek's proprietary engine CryENGINE™ 2.

Owing to this set not too far ahead, this will would have probably landed in my shopping basket when it was to be released;

However they have taken some of the interest out of it for me owing to that nano suit and some of the weapon functionalities

The developers have obviously come from the elk of majority gamers that consider technology will advance beyond the historical speed and scientific reason in such a short space of time in these coming years.

The game is set in 2021, military technology has developed (beyond a reasonable thought?) with little or no development (at the same pace) on civi street.

But hay welcome to the world of the cryengine where EA and crytek prophesies techno guns ‘n’ monsters.

This game looks absolutely awesome.

When it comes out it will give me the excuse and justification to upgrade my zx81 pc.

Should be another game to make the clan move forward hopefully alongside quake wars and unreal.
