[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Game Description :
Developer: Crytek
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
Genre: Action
Release Date: March 3, 2013


Synopsis:
Players take on the role of Prophet as he returns to New York in 2047, 24 years after the events of Crysis 2. He discovers the city has been encased in a giant Nanodome created by the corrupt CELL corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. Prophet is said to be on a "revenge mission" after uncovering the truth behind CELL's motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were erected to protect the population and to clean these metropolises of the remains of the Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are CELL's covert attempt at land and technology grab in their quest for global domination by means of debt enslavement.

Plot:
Set 24 years after the act of Crysis 2, the main character Prophet awakes after shooting himself, with parts of memories stored in the Nonosuit with the old memories of Alcatraz, from the previous title of Crysis 2. With incorrect memories added by the Ceph, He is captured and is in a EPM hold in the hands of CELL, to destroy all the remaining Nanosuits. to save him from the locked storage device with powerful EMP shocks to keep him dormant, His old teammate who also use to fight with Prophet with his own Nanosuit, Psycho comes to capture and join Prophet. After Psycho saves and joins Prophet, they will go for a mission looking for the ultimate Ceph leader, "Alpha Ceph", from the knowledge he gained about the research about Ceph. CELL, now is in search for global domination of land and technology of earth, and to disable Prophet completely using strong EMP weapons in Siberia, captures all the remaining Nanosuit soldiers, and start skinning them of their suits so as to learn or recover the Ceph genetics stored in them. Everyone who was involved in the Nanosuit program activity were either recruited or kidnaped and detained by CELL, including Scientists Nathan Gould and Claire Fontanelli from Crysis 2 .


Gameplay:
Similar to the previous titles in the series, Crysis 3 is a game set in New York City with realistic maps, this title will offer a lot of new abilities such as hacking, stealth, power jumps, power attacks. Hacking is simply an ability to hack hardware and enemy objects such as security codes, weapon crates, ceph technologies, stun mines, lasers and even enemy's sentry turrets, not only to destroy it, but in order to use it to kill the enemies. Another new feature is the ceph's weapons can now be picked up and used to kill enemies, including cephs themselves.
The Nanosuit operates very surprisingly strong in this game, you can find Nanosuit upgrading points all over the campaign, which can be spent to buy upgrade perks, but only 3 can be in use at once, one in each three tier; Stealth, Power, and Movement. in Stealth, stealth movements, invisibility cloak and silent kills can be upgraded, In Power, your Nanosuit can change into a powerful body armour. In movement, your super jump, fast manoeuvring and hacking can be upgraded.


Audio and Graphics:
On Crysis 3, a very strong Graphics engine "Cry Engine 3" was in use, which allowed weather dynamic calculation, In-depth movement scopes, high-definition water interaction, animated light ways and very sensitive shadow management. Regarding the very fast rendering speed of the loading screen, these graphics are remarkable, and by far the best graphics engine I've seen in a wile.
The anti-alliasing in the Cry engine 3 was remarkable, all the curves and textures blended in perfectly. The facial muscle movement of the characters and the natural behaviour of the humans were just mind-glowingly impressive, the gameplay graphics felt like if I was watching a cut scene. In different words, the Graphics Engine was so good that they used in game animation for all of the cinematic cut scenes, which I was very very surprised.
The Audio offered in Crysis 3 matches perfectly with the Urban Jungle of New york City, and gives a very nice modern-future feel to the environment. The sound effects go well with the storyline and the Nanosuit. The voice acting was perfect, a variety of very highly trained voice actors made us feel like if it was a movie.


Controls:
Over the whole game, there were some portion of the controls that I never came in use, like the Power kick and Power attack which allowed you to kick and through huge crates and objects in order to kill the enemy in path. Although in fact, how the two ability of the Nanosuit: Stealth and Power were each divided to the right and left side of your controller was very well executed, it was very easy to switch between your Power suit and the Invisibility Cloak.
There was no huge disadvantage points for the controls in Crysis 3, but the gun support was very poor, aiming down the sights of the weapon was almost impossible to use even with a solid sensitivity, which forced us to use the Power Bow almost all the way in the campaign, and having to pick up the arrows were a pain.

I didn't enjoy Crysis 3 as I was hyped about the game, the story was boring, the graphics was the best I've ever seen before for sure though.

Thanks. the graphics engine won a lot of rewards, it has by far the best graphics in all fps games.
It's not known for the poor storyline and multiplayer, personally I think they spent too much time on the visuals.
