Crysis Warhead
Clearing Crysis on your last play-through only proves one thing – that you’re definitely locked and loaded for redheaded stepchild of a meaner brother. Award-winning independent studio Crytek and EA Partners are going back to the South China Sea this fall with Crysis Warhead®, a parallel story to Crysis®, one of the highest rated games last year on any platform.
Crysis Warhead features an adrenalin-pumping sotrythat will take gamers to all-new environments that, aside from featuring more of Crysis’ brilliantly rendered scenery, offers players even more places to search through and destroy. Warhead is also introducing Crysis Wars®, while will bring a whole new multiplayer experience for the fnas of the Crysis universe. Crysis Warhead will undoubtedly be one of the best values in gaming this year, offering both a taste of the franchise that gamers have come to love, while offering several entirely new innovations of its own.
Players will be wearing the experimental Nanosuit of the unpredictable Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes, one of the most unforgettable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad (the protagonist for the fist Crysis game), players will find Psycho's misadventures on the other side of the island to be even more extreme and volatile than they could have ever imagined or experienced, especially as they fight against of huge armies of humans and aliens made even smarter by Crytek's improved AI system. It promises to be total mayhem—what else would you expect from a character named Psycho, anyway?
Luckily, Psycho dons the multipurpose, ground-breaking Nanosuit that’s equipped with an even bigger arsenal of player-modifiable weapons and an collection of new vehicles, giving players access to the toolkit they need to be on top of any situation. Only two questions remain: Who will you blast first, and which toys will you use to do so?
An exclusively PC-platform game, Crysis Warhead is made on a new and improved version of Crytek's award-winning CryENGINE® 2 technology, which provides the magnificent visuals and graphics Crytek is known for to gamers with a marked enhancements in execution.
Crysis Warhead is a standalone release that doesn’t require the original Crysis to play, so if you’re new to the combat, feel free to dive right in. Welcome to a whole new level of destruction.
Crysis Wars(R) is also part of the Crysis Warhead® package. It features numerous improvements over the original Crysis multiplayer including a whole new mode, TeamInstantAction, as well as 7 new maps. All the original maps from Crysis are available as well as all of the new weapons from Crysis Warhead.

Features:
More From 2007's PC Game of the Year** - Crysis Warhead takes players through the intense, fierce battles Psycho experiences on the other side of the island during the events of Crysis - with the action dialed up even higher throughout the entire campaign.
Adapt to DOMINATE. - The Nanosuit may look the same, but the soldier underneath is definitely different. Whether jumping into battles with dual SMGs blazing or blowing up enough vehicles to turn the island into a junkyard, players will find Psycho's in-your-face style geared less towards just surviving the battle, and more towards total domination.
Complete Freedom, Start-to-Finish - Crysis Warhead features more of the open-ended sandbox game design Crytek has brought to the FPS genre throughout the entire experience, with minute-to-minute gameplay geared to be even more explosive and dynamic than in Crysis.
Breakthrough Performance - Built on an enhanced version of Crytek's industry-leading CryENGINE 2 game engine, Crysis Warhead not only features even more breathtaking, cutting edge visuals than the original game, but also performs markedly better across a wide range of PCs.
Introducing Crysis Wars - The future of multiplayer across the Crysis universe, Crysis Wars will be an exciting step forward for fans of Crysis, featuring a yet-to-be revealed new mode. Stay tuned for more details about Crysis Wars later this summer.
The Year's Best Value in Gaming - Gamers will get a standalone product that does not require the original Crysis to play, allowing them to experience a new, epic single player campaign and Crysis Wars - making Crysis Warhead one of the best values in gaming this year.

Great fun playing it, A bit pricey for a 1Yr. Old game. No issues operating on my PC- OS, W-7.
One of the Best FPS games out there, But to short 3 - 4 Hrs. of hard hitting game play.
Worse problem is the Auto-Download of Punk-buster!
This should be listed as a Choice NOT a requirement to play the game. Would recommend it for anyone into FPS Games.
Best Product and Deal Ever!

I would agree its a memory hog but a good FPS. Beat single player in about 4hrs of play. I guess Multi Player is the hype of this game though. I do like the in game set up to change your weapons for the mission. Not the best definitely not the worst.
Great Game

I got this game a few weeks ago and i was glad to see the graphics were still awesome. the game had a good story line and it fit perfectly with the first crysis. the only thing i hated about it was that the game play seemed way to short. but online play makes up for it.
