    crysis wars is a fine game, but it lacks the good sense and polish present in games from developers more experienced with this genre.

      i disagree. i think it is great and for the price (which includes warhead), and any real FPS person would be wrong to pass it up.

        Crysis at the core is just Halo 3 with prettier graphics on an island.
