And it wraps up with a desperately tedious boss fight that makes some of the best tools in Prophet's arsenal useless.įortunately, "Crysis 3" comes with a robust assortment of multiplayer games.
I don't think I'm giving anything away by revealing that there's a connection between CELL and the Ceph, and other plot twists are so baldly telegraphed that the only surprise is how long it takes the characters to figure them out.
It's a shame, too, that the story is so cliched. Right in the middle of the whole thing is a hydroelectric dam, which makes one wonder: Why is this set in New York? Familiar neighborhoods like Chinatown and Hell's Kitchen are flooded or overgrown with vegetation, and there are only a few glimpses of landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge. The silent-but-deadly Predator bow is a little clunkier, but it does let you remain cloaked even while you're shooting electrified arrows.Īll this takes place in a New York City that will be unrecognizable to anyone who lives there now. You can also pick up Ceph plasma weapons, which are somewhat more effective at obliterating the aliens. Of course, Prophet has the usual assortment of firearms at hand, from pistols and sniper rifles to assault weapons and missile launchers. The visor also helps you hack enemy systems, so you can disarm minefields or turn turrets against their builders. The nanosuit's other major feature is a visor that lets you scope out the battlefield before you rush in, pinpointing enemies as well as locating ammunition dumps and fresh weapons. If you'd rather avoid attracting attention from the Ceph, you can hit the cloaking switch for temporary invisibility. If you're the kind of player who likes to plunge right into firefights, you'll keep turning on the armor. Prophet is equipped with a "nanosuit," a combination of human and alien tech that has two primary functions, armor and cloaking. As a supersoldier nicknamed "Prophet," your job is to get inside the Liberty Dome and figure out what CELL is up to. If only all that beauty was in the service of something more interesting than another alien bloodbath.Īctually, "Crysis 3" throws two types of enemies at you: the alien Ceph and the human employees of CELL, a corporation that has built a giant dome over the ruins of New York City. I played "Crysis 3" on Microsoft's eight-year-old Xbox 360, and it still looks pretty good. You probably don't have a state-of-the-art PC, but that's OK.
