Gears of War vs Crysis

Crysis

The BAD:
Everything is too stealthy/slow. Alltho` the world looks very good, it`s not spectacular. Overall, It`s an Overrated over-hyped game, an upgraded version of FarCry, with some additional mods to it. Endlees enemys, that take too long to kill, very low amunition, the AI is not that bright.

The Good:
I`ve played Crysis since the demo came out, at first install, i wasn`t impressed at all. Certainly, everything looked amazing, but the gameplay was too annoying. Endless koreans popping out, you having to hide/cloak to kill them, takes a lot of time, end becomes repetitive very soon. It`s like playing Cat and Mouse, you beeing the super high teck mouse, with very limited ammo and endless cats coming to kill you. IT just takes TOO MUCH TIME and gives very little satisfaction. Also, the feeling of the game isn`t impressive at all. SUre the trees will brake in two and fall, but all in the same way, so not

*Note: i played crysis on vista, full details. Between a small difference of the look of the water, there really wasn`t any other noticeable difference, between DX10 and 9 on Xp. SO it`s all HYPE, much overrated.


Gears of War

The Good:
Impressive graphics, way better then farcry in my opinion, and i don`t care about that jungle mambo-jumbo. Gears of War futures the most impressive, clear and neat graphics i`ve ever saw untill that day on the PC.
Make no mistake, this is a FAST paced action game, the weapons feel heavy, the enemys AI is great, every kill makes you sweat a little, the Voice acting is awsome, the characters are believable and memorable, the story is out of this world and will make you crave for more.

The BAD:
Microsoft. When you start playing, the game gives you the impression that you must create an account at Windows Live, otherwise the Game won`t save. If you wanna play online, you`ll have to PAY. Welcome to Micro$oft era. I hate them. The truth is that you can play online, just create an account and pay attention after you created it, don`t go further the process of registering. It`s tricky at first hand, i guess that`s the whole point of it.

It`s the first game this year that impressed me from the first seconds of gameplay. I recall when i saw the room filled with ambient light, how the stones and walls "feel" like they should, the textures and materials in the game really make a big impression.
Alltho the hype of this game on PC wasn`t that high, as on Xbox360, make no mistake, this is the game of the year. ANd Crysis, just another upgraded/modded FarCry clone,that brings NOTHING New.
