I trudged through some of it on the PC. I feel like it plays even worse than Crysis 1, so I'd give it about a 5, out of 10. The graphics aren't even as jaw dropping as Crysis 1's were back then, so it doesn't even have that going for it.

(It plays extremely stable on absolute max settings on my PC, and it's a good looking game, just nowehere near as amazing as Crysis was at the time. )

Pity but I thought that would be the case.  I'm going to skip it on PC and just get it on console - probably 360 but maybe PS3 depending on DF analysis and reading a few more reviews.  The more I read about the PC version the more I felt the game wasn't going to seem as good to me on PC vs a console.

It is a pitty that Crytek had to make some compomises to the PC but a studio has to get paid.  The reason I say this is that Crytek after Crysis and Warhead had to make a decision.  Do we keep pushing the PC but not get the same in return for our investment or resources, or we go middle ground, develop an engine that works on all platforms and make some money.  PC gamers would say Crytek sold out but there is a difference between selling out and going out of business.  Producing a game cost a lot of money and if you are not getting the return on investment for a small segement of your user base, then you have to make hard choices.  So Cryengine 3 might not be everything Cryengine 2 was but it allows for Crytek games to be played on multiple systems as well as OS (XP) thus increasing their user base while still maintaining a certain level of graphical fidelity.
