Crysis vs Crysis Warhead
Crysis
Crysis is the first of a brilliant action-shooter game that has players shooting aliens and saving the world with a unique, multi-function nanosuit that augments your combat capability on the battlefield in ways that kinda makes you a super-soldier of sorts. You can enhance your strength in order to lift cars, for example; boost armor so you can take more damage, or turn on invisibility to sneak through enemy lines. There is a diverse arsenal of weapons and munitions that you can use and customize as well, giving you multiple ways to plan out your tactics and play according to your own preferences.As amazing as the first Crysis game was, the game's graphics can be a bit dated and well, none of the online servers are up now, so you can't really enjoy the game via its multiplayer mode. However, if you simply want to enjoy the game for sentimental purposes or to enjoy the storyline, well, you might want to buy the game.
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Warhead is somewhat like a spin-off mainly because it doesn't really continue the plotline in the main Crysis franchise. Instead, I'd venture as far to say that this game might be a prequel to the original Crysis... maybe? Anyway, in this game, you play as Sergeant Sykes who find hismelf on a life-risking mission to retrieve a cargo that's incredibly important behind enemy lines during the Korean war. The gameplay in this game is amazing visceral and intuitive, and of course, between the suit's abilities and the wide range of weapons, you'll have multiple methods to take out your enemies and walk away smiling.There are also aliens of course - it's just Crysis being Crysis - but the enemy AI is a whole lot more intelligent and may just catch you off guard if you're not careful.
As great as Crysis Warhead is, the game can be a tad bit short for its full price. However, if you can get it during a promotion, the game will be very well worth the experience, the time and the price.
