Crysis

I recently won myself a copy of the game and was astonished to see the minimum system requirements needed to play it. I haven't installed it yet since my PC definitely can't handle it right now but I'm planning on getting a better machine later in the year anyway.

I'd like to know however, exactly how good is this game and would it be worth it for me to also purchase a computer which can handle it??

Oh, and do all PC games nowadays require a above average PC? It's been awhile since I've bought PC games.

I just got the game today, I'll be playing it soon and get back to you.

Awesome. Thanks, I appreciate it.

Yeah, it does have minimum system requirements, but you're gonna need a super powerful rig if you REALLY want to see its beautiful visuals in action. If you've got it all on low, the graphics look all jaggy like lego blocks and it's just not fun.

I've installed and played for a bit now. What I have to say its I have it on medium right now, it is very pretty. Story so far has been...eh. Its a very straightforward First Person Shooter so far.

UPDATE: The environment is pretty awesome, and so is how many different ways you can beat a level. I set my graphics up today to high just to see what she could do. Still very pretty.

I want to get my hands on this game so badly, yet the required/recommended specs are... scary.

Planning to get the Japanese PC release myself due to Wakamoto Norio being a voice actor in it, and of course, the nifty hidden feature (http://youtube.com/watch?v=KB6o6FAgVyI).

The requirements are really ridiculous, I'm still adjusting my settings trying to find an acceptable mix of resolution and graphics power and I'm running a Geforce 8000 GTS 640MB Video card. Its a battle.

ya i heard of the game you need a really good gaming card and it would lag a lot with intel core 2 duo 2.2ghz, 2bg ram
