Crysis Warhead and snapshots galore!

Yeah, I did buy the expansion of Crysis, Crysis Warhead just for the kicks of it. The game basically centers around Psycho, Nomad's teammate and what happens on the other side of the story in Crysis.

The game storyline , I think is shorter than Crysis and doesn't deal with much complexities as what we've seen in Crysis. Psycho basically has much more direct actions in combat, straight-forward missions. However, all these come with some twists and attractions: we are given some hints on Psycho's background and histories as we progress through the game. Another added element in Crysis Warhead that is I think not present in Crysis is the emotional and characterization aspects of the main subject, which in this case, Psycho.

Psycho, isn't really as 'psychotic' as the call sign seem to imply. He is portrayed as upholding a true code of honour during combat, having true sense of friendship and integrity as a true soldier. Of course, some of it may break down in the event of disappointment and frustration.
There are some dramatic scenes in Crysis Warhead that seems to strengthen those aspects above.

Despite all that, Crysis Warhead doesn't hold much surprise as an expansion of the original game but that might not be unexpected. There are clues to the continuation of the story at the end of the game (Crysis is a trilogy anyway) that we can put them as the cause for the second installment of the trilogy. At least, that's what I want to think of them.

Performance wise, my system maintains an average of 35-40 fps in the normal scenes, and this could drop to 17+ during intense combat scenes and when entering the snowy environment in the game. I didn't change the graphics settings set by the in-game detector but they are all set to 'Gamer'. I was playing at 1024x768 with 2X anti-aliasing. Yeah, pretty lame.

Despite the settings, I still enjoy the game and to me, the graphics is still smooth and non-stuttering. Hardcore gamers with 24 inch LCD might demand more than this.

I give this game 7/10 rating (since when do I give ratings to games?). Next in line, Far Cry 2 and NFS: Undercover!
