Crysis shines primarily through the beautiful graphics and the fact that the overall environment also changed (read: destroyed) can be. Although the game is overall not bad, so I have to say though, so a milestone as it was Far Cry then, it is not. As for the game course it was much freer in Far Cry, where you could go through complete islands so as you wanted. In Crysis the areas are still quite large, but you can see it a certain linear gameplay. The story is not quite as good as in Far Cry. Back then, I always wanted to know what happens next stehts what me so really did not happen in Crysis. And the game length is much shorter than its predecessor. Crysis is already played out fairly quickly at the end.
Despite my criticisms I would Crysis still among the best shooters at the moment, if not the best that is currently available. And who will have a high-end PC does not come determined on this game. Because the graphics are stunning.
