throwing in my two Cents again, I think Crysis 1 was a good game the Nanosuit was something fresh and new, and I seriously liked those open levels. My favourite Playing style is as a sniper, when the game allows and therefore I need space. I need to be able to sneak around the enemy patrols if neede, a thing i missed badly in Sniper: Ghost Warrior, damn tube levels and the non sniper mission............if I buy a game about sniping I don´t want to play half of it COD style. If you want a challenge...........try sneaking from the first North Korean base to the research dome with the good doctor in it, get inside without killing even one north korean. On the way out I had to kill some, It was a bit too crowded to successfully sneak out. The AI was and still is seriously good, which made fights challenging, and the tanks were though for once in an ego-shooter. Plus the fights had a good intensity about them, since the covers were destructible and the sounds very good. Still ArmA 2 is a heckload more intense.
Edit: I don´t think the consoles are able to take it, since they are basically 2006 computer-tech and Crysis was eating those for breakfast, after making mince-meat out of them. And then there is the biggest problem of consoles, not the graphics card or the CPU, but the pityful size of the RAM Xbox 512MB and PS 3 256MB! Hello I got 8GB in my gaming/working-rig! They might have a very powerful processor and a decent graphics card, well at the time of the launch it was powerful, but RAM is never a thing you should scrimp on, and that is the big problem with both, they have to less RAM. Hell when we got new school computers, back in 2005 they had WinXP 32 bits and only built in 384 MB RAM, even if everybody knew around that time that 512MB were the least you needed to work decently on an WinXP Sp2 system. Hence they never worked well, and were abominably slow, even if they got decent, Pentium 4 3 GHz Cpus at that time.
