Thoughts on Crysis so far.

xyzzysqrlAs far as I can tell, in Crysis you play a cybernetic symbiote sent from the future. You bond with a disgrunted architect, and decide to destroy every building on a small island in Korean waters. You can play as one of three genders: Male, Female, and Wakamoto.
While you're on your quest to rip every building on the island apart with your bare hands, sometimes army people will attempt to talk to you using meaningless antiwords like "SITREP" and "FUBAR". You're going to have to avoid these guys using the "Skip Cutscene" button. Do not attempt to listen to them, they'll only make you angrier and distract you from your mission.
You've got a lot of options when it comes to building destruction. Sometimes you can drive jeeps and trucks into the buildings, sometimes there'll be a boat you can jump through the rooftops. Your symbiote buddy has a "Strength" mode that lets you punch right through walls, which is really neat. There are also explosives.
The developers tried to add some conflict by putting guys with guns all over the island, and I guess you can pick them up and throw them through the walls of the buildings too, but they really could've left this part out and it'd have been a better game.
I'm enjoying it, for the most part!
