Mummelmann said: Crysis' graphics are severely overrated, and the physics are often plain stupid, as is the AI. I boarded the hypetrain from day one, but was very disappointed when I got off and played it... Tree and brush textures are horrible, weather effects virtually nonexistent, water looks so and so and the esteemed Cryengine 2 is no more advanced physicswise than the elderly Source-engine. Don't believe me? Bump up the settings and try for yourself! It's a great game, but the visuals are a real letdown after the ultra hype and bragging from Crytek.

you're insane

Getting it tomorrow. Can't wait.

I thought this thread was about ut3, not a comparison of graphics? Anyways, i too am curious as to why no ps3 reviews have gone up. Same with ps3 orange box.

Unless the reviewers rate the game high enough usually developers won't let them post reviews early, and instead have to wait till the game is actually released. Just a guess, hopefully that isn't the reason.

Isn't this game shipping in reduced numbers? I wonder how many copies of the game that will actually be available for purchase and whether they will sell out of the game, i know that i would want it but i'm going to wait till it is released here in the UK!

Still got Uncharted to play anyway, after i'm done with exams! :(

Damn, i hope it isn't sold in limited numbers

First review by GameZone:

Excellent scores for graphics and mulitplayer, wow better than Warhawk multiplayer?

Some interesting first impressions:

"Everything looks up to the standards of a high-end PC"

Keyboard & Mouse control:

"You can use the keyboard for basic menu navigation, but you can't actually fully navigate all menus with it, which smacks of laziness."

"Once you're in the game, however, the mouse and keyboard are fully functional."
