Description
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.

This game needed an original disc to play.

Epic game. Only bought it a few days ago, and I'm completely and utterly in love. If possible, I'd probably marry this game.
Graphics - Legendary is the only word I can think of. Still today, in 2011, it has better graphics than a lot of the new games being released today - and that for a game from 2007! At 1920 x 1080, everything maxed out it looks completely gorgeous. Never before have I experienced this type of graphics on my PC, so obviously I'm very impressed.
The sound is good, lots of deep bass groaning and creaking, and enough high-tech clicks and chips to make you think you really are in the heat of alien battle.
The controls can take some getting used to though, but after an hour or so I got the hang of the nanosuit's controls quickly and easily, with no trouble in switching between stats in milliseconds and in mid-battle.
The weapons are awesome. I'd have liked a kind of shop and upgrade system for the nanosuit, but maybe I'm just not there yet in terms of game progress (it takes time playing Crysis, Dagon Age, Dead Space and Darksiders all at once).
Overall, epic game. By far the best FPS game I've ever played, and that saying a lot, as I normally hate FPS games. I really look forward to getting my hands on Warhead after this one, and then ultimately Crysis 2 will have a bash as well. They really can't mess up the system if the first one was so good, except if they removed the nanosuit, made the guns shoot sponge bullets and set you playing against teddybears with rocket launchers.
Best value-for-money FPS game I've bought yet (except maybe for the Left 4 Dead 2 I bought for R29 a while back).
