None of the reviews cover the technical shortcomings of the game nor do they cover the broken promises and outright lies that Crytek has brought upon us. Nor do they go into any detail about how the game is little more than a warmed over COD clone. Nor would I trust a review from an "Official Xbox Magazine." How independent can you be if you are an official magazine?
Eh, more players doesn't automatically equal better. People trying to run 64 man C&C Renegade servers found out the hard way why more servers stopped at 10v10.
It was the multiplayer that tipped the balance; with sixteen super-powered Nanosuits battling it out, it makes for "some of the most exciting, angry and satisfying action you'll ever have."
The singleplayer impressed by sheer spectacle: "as you progress, streets rupture, buildings tilt and fall," and ploughing throught it all in the game's super-powered Nanosuit "is both massively empowering and intelligently balanced by the need to manage its energy levels."
Take it for what it is, first reviews are always positive *Cough Two Worlds II Cough*. The trend will either follow or not.
Early can be an issue, but I'm more interested in waiting on a review that's actually capable of assessing it's pluses and minuses in comparison to the first game.
So basically I doubt I'm going to be factoring any 360 reviews into this in the first place.
Man I would probably be sold (or not) if Crytek had just released an SP demo. The demo for Crysis 1 sold me on it pretty much immediately as something very awesome.

I agree with you completely, being one of those who learned said lesson about Renegade. Sometimes more players just means more chaos, and not more fun. I'm more commenting on the fact that the review seems to tout "Wow! Sixteen players!" like it's some kind of benefit, when it's really just old hat.
And no, that's not a space between the 7 and 1, it's just how the font looks.
If I try making an account with a username that doesn't have numbers in, it still won't let me log in - it just says "logging in" then returns to the log in screen with no error or any indication of what went wrong.
EDIT: It occurs to me that it may mean ONLY letters or ONLY digits.
So what you're saying is, you love GameSpy, and Crytek for including it in your experience, right?

I love how anybody thinks using gamespy is a good idea
ever
my favourite was when about half the routers in the uk couldn't use it because of NAT failure that was great and so we all had to use gameranger to play borderlands
I really hope GameSpy gave them ten million dollars or more, because I see no other reason why you would want to infect your own game with this type of AIDS.

Somebody should work on a list of those.
I don't think anybody besides those (biased) reviewers has the game yet.
Well I hope you deeply enjoy the (apparently) 5 hour long campaign.
given the amount of suckage I possess when it comes to playing games, it'll turn into a 12 hour campaign.
I'm still not buying it. I was put off the moment they revealed their new big thing in early previews; a city. I get enough of those where I live. I want run around a jungle
Turn off NPC voice chat.
Learn to use the suit. (Armor for fire, stealth for easy melee kills and running from cover to cover, nano vision for finding stealthed enemies)
Learn to use cover to replenish suit energy.
Also, using an xbox 360 controller will make the game more fun.
I've opened up my computer case and wondering which parts I should start randomly blowing on to get gamespy to realize that the name they forced me to choose should be a valid name for playing the game.
I'll start with the gpu. It looks like blowing on it might be fun.
Blowing cartridges should not be done because it can be harmful to the cartridge. You should instead clean them properly with a q-tip and alcohol.

OT, but the only cartridge-based system I remember ever having problems was the NES, thanks to its godawful loading mechanism (looks more like a VCR my ass). All other sane toploading systems? Don't even remember a problem.
Back when we had an NES though, we were dumb kids that thought blowing into shit was the solution to all problems.

I use to blow on the cartridges through my shirt. Swear to God it worked more than any other blow-on-cartridge trick we used to pass around in school.
The only thing that came close was not fully inserting the cartridge so that when you pressed down to click it into place, you really had to force it and snap it over the inner edge of the slot. That...couldn't have been good for any of the stuff involved, but it often worked.
In Crysis-related news, all this poo-pooing of the demo caused me to start playing the original and Warhead. I'm going to make a bold statement: Warhead is better than Crysis. There, I said it.
I thought warhead being better than Crysis was common knowledge?

Warhead was more in-your-face Micheal Bay than the (slightly) more cerebral original, which some people preferred.
I suppose the step from Warhead to 2 is just a natural progression, then.

Does Warhead have a better ending than the first one? I was playing that when my last build suicided. I've been dicking around with Crysis here and there, but if Warhead has a better final act, I may ditch the first one and move on.
They bring in the aliens after like 20 minutes in Warhead, so you might want to at least wait for a sale at best. They did make the engine run ridiculously better though, it's a shame they didn't retroactively apply that technical wizardry to the base game.

Which is still stupid.

not like
cream your pants fun
but at the same time
you should facilitate that need with other means
plus doing parkour while invisible and then snapping a dudes neck
is pretty tight
also air stomps
im mario in this game
I thought Mario was fun too, 15 years ago, when I was 12.
Now, not so much.
i cant sympathize with people who dont think stompin on things aint fun
because it is
plain and simple
the more i play the more i begin to appreciate the gameplay. I have had some beautiful moments. and a ton of, "oh god im dead."
Crashsite.
When the pod drops. If the opposing team has it, cloak, jump, stomp, kill everyone.

This simply should not be. This is not Assassin's Creed II or Darksiders. A 360 controller should not make this game better.
that's a thought. Maybe that'll help with all the problems people are having getting the game to run properly.
however I've discovered that isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip are far more efficient.
But it gets points for effort! I love you guys.

From the point of view of a guy who vastly preferred the first, alien-free half of Crysis to the part where you fight floating squids, I mean.
This is the problem with Crytek games.
The first half is a really bad-ass, genre changing tactical manshooter.
The second half is an incredibly frustrating and tedious meat grinder against generic super-animal-mutant-alien-things.
