The guys over at GameSpot (http://www.gamespot.com/) were lucky enough to get to try out Crysis at CES 2007. Here's what they had to say:
Crysis looks amazing when in motion. The game is stuffed with all sorts of graphical technologies that, when combined together, create the sensation of being in a tropical jungle under fire. In the demo, we stealthily approached the village and used an assault rifle to start picking off North Korean soldiers. With the alarm raised, the battle began in earnest, and we used the environment so that we could lean from cover and cut down enemy troops. Crysis takes place in a near-future setting, so we used our nano suit to switch power to various systems. Dumping energy into speed let us sprint at superhuman speeds over large distances. Directing power to strength let us pick up and toss heavy objects, knock down doors, and leap onto the roofs of village buildings. Diverting energy into armor made us effectively invulnerable to the small arms of the North Koreans. The downside is that using any of these abilities drains the power of the suit, which means you have to ration their use. Energy slowly regenerates if the suit isn't being used.
