Crysis is a highly anticipated first person shooter developed exclusively for the PC by Crytek, the makers of the award-winning Far Cry.

Besides the expectations for quality gameplay, Crysis has been hyped for being a true DirectX 10 game - despite of the mandatory DX9 support for widespread compatibility - and as a game that will bring next-generation graphics to the PC. Some of the technology used in Crysis includes dynamic day/night cycle, fully interactive environments, sun ray and diffuse transmission, real-time soft shadows, soft particles, interactive/destructible environments, volumetric clouds, and advanced shader technology. The full retail game will be published by Electronic Arts and is set to be released next November 15th.

While that release date has been set for some time now, Crytek had initial plans for a single-player demo scheduled for late September. As we all know the demo did not come out on such date as Crytek said they needed the time to keep the full game release date intact. But you know what they say, better late than never, and the demo finally made it to the net last Friday which gave us enough time to play a bit with it before preparing this article.
