Crysis: Warhead

Games, One week, one game, Review

Crysis: Warhead is a sequel to the popular game Crysis. And if you don’t know what Crysis is, you most likely don’t care anything about games and you can just skip to next post on my blog.

Warhead has some improvements from the first Crysis, but basically it is the same stuff. Enemies are the same and there is only one (?) new weapon. Engine is improved lot in the optimization. I can run all at enthusiast (aka very high) without any problems. (30+ fps almost all the time)

And yes. It looks damn awesome. Still the best graphics I have seen on a computer game.

The gameplay is also better than on the first Crysis. Levels are more fun to play and the alien part doesn’t last too long. I never got bored with the campaign. Fights are also more balanced and fun to play.

The biggest problem is that this game is way too short. It took only 5 hours to play the single player campaing. And the multiplayer is horrible, don’t even bother to try it… Way too big levels and confusing gameplay. I am currently playing the game for second time in the Delta difficult.

It doesn’t have anything new to fps games, it is just a damn nice game. And way too short. If you find it for good price and you have computer that can run it at high/very high, buy it.

Movement in this game is awesome. Controls are simple, but also very powerful. In couple if minutes, all of the tricks are easy to make when needed. Climbing, sliding, jumping… Everything is just so smooth…

Graphics are very unique. Lots of bright colors and bloom. In my opinion, this game has one of the best graphics details. It’s not technically great, but it just looks great. I like some small details like red paint on white floor, etc. And lots of bloom!

Level design has to be good in this kind of game, and it is. There were only couple of times when I got stuck and mostly it was because of the overpowered enemies, not because of the level design. But sometimes this game feels way too easy…

At technical side of the game, I got some problems. First is lack of support for normal resolutions, so I had those annoying black boxes on my screen… Second problem is Physx problems on my Ati card…

It was short, but a great game. I recommend to try it. (I got it for 3e from Steam holiday sales so the length wasn’t problem for me :P )
