you know, i wish i were a bigger gamer than I was, but because of the fact that I have only a classic Xbox, I have not played crysis. I have seen it played, and I was kinda disappointed when I saw it. From what I saw, it looked..very common FPS. I can't take my full opinion because I haven't played the game yet. I was disappointed with dead island as well though. I think it could have been more, but it kinda felt a little clunky.
Dead island was more disappointing, but it may have still been better. I will get back to you when I play crysis.
