I thought Crysis was okay, but some of the gameplay annoyances from Far Cry made their way in and ruined parts of it.
The start of the game was great. I loved how the environment felt open, you could get an optional objective, and the element of stealth felt like it worked at that point in time. Once you're on your own without the squad, gameplay devolved into a more frustrating experience. The whole alien ship thing was meh, but I found the game to get more interesting once you got out of the alien ship (minus the VTOL flying). You didn't have to deal with annoying humans and the feel of the game turned into a tense escape which was different from the earlier parts.
