Take on the fight as the volatile Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes in a new parallel story taking place during the events of the original smash hit, Crysis. Psycho's secret mission will take him to the other side of the island on a ruthless pursuit of a North Korean general hell-bent on obtaining powerful technology. With the versatile powers of his Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons & vehicles at his disposal, Sykes will do whatever it takes to carry out his top-secret objective. Are you ready?


	Crysis Features Pulse-racing new installment from 2007's PC Game of the Year: Play as Sergeant Sykes and experience a whole new side of the battle. A standard combat mission behind enemy lines becomes critical when you discover your enemies have captured something of vital importance to the ensuing war. It’s down to you to retrieve the cargo, at any cost. More explosive and dynamic minute to minute game play: new customizable weapons, new vehicles, new photorealistic locations to explore, and a fully interactive war zone to dominate. Enhanced human and alien AI: Intelligent enemies, bigger challenges, and all-new ally squad support. Includes Crysis Wars®, an expanded new multiplayer experience with new online modes and 21 maps .including seven all-new maps to battle it out against other players. Crysis Warhead is a standalone release and does not require ownership of Crysis to play. Adapt to Survive Action on the other side of the island is more intense, the battles are fierce, and the mission protocol is no longer "Adapt to Survive". As Sergeant Sykes, now you must adapt to dominate the battle. Twin SMG's blazing, seizing new vehicles, or going stealth, the action and the victory is on your terms.

SecuROM = Deal Breaker

Customer Rating:

After playing Crysis I eagerly purchased Crysis Warhead. I returned the game without opening it after I found out it contained SecuROM DRM protection and required activation (which you can only do a limited amount of times).

Draconian DRM ruins this title

Customer Rating:

While the game may boast some great technical marvels, the draconian DRM (copy protection) prevents the game from being installed in many cases. The support in this situation is exactly none. A visit to EA's website reveals an unfriendly interface that yields nothing of value. You are basically left to your own devices to figure out the problems - which are many. The installer often fails meaning you have to revert to some very esoteric ways to get the product installed. You are then rewarded with the activation attempt, only to find it fails, too, and proceeds to delete the binary (main program) which prevents any more attempts unless you de-install and re-install. That process will take about 30-40 minutes per attempt. Wow, what fun!

I'm no noob, either, and have probably bought every major title to hit the shelves in the last 25 years. Oh, and did I mention I am a 3D game consultant too?! This is BY FAR the worst copy protection scheme I have ever seen, even considering the debacle called STEAM. The people who shipped this should be flogged with a rope stacked with these worthless DVDs. Why even bother talking about the game itself? Do yourself a favor and pass on this $30 coaster.

BEWARE! SecuROM infested!

Customer Rating:

DO NOT buy this game. Actually, you literally can't buy it. You only buy the rights to install it a few times. After that you throw it in the trash. Don't think you'll ever even install it five times? What if you replace a piece of hardware on your computer like a graphics card or motherboard? What if you get a new computer?

Suppose you'll never do any of those and you buy a bunch of SecuROM games. You will have to leave ALL of them installed on your computer at the same time in order to prevent having to reinstall them. That is going to take up tons of room and slow your computer down. Being able to install, uninstall, and reinstall games is what makes many of them long lasting titles. These games WILL NOT work as soon as the activation servers are shut down. That could mean you only have a few years to play this game before it is trash forever.

Also, SecuROM is basically malware. Do some research on malware to see why you don't want it on your computer.

There are plenty of amazing and fun games out there that don't have DRM or SecuROM. Go get them instead since you actually buy the game forever, not just the right to use it a few times.

Customer Rating:

Great game!! Astonishing graphics, almost the same role play than the previous one, but still an interesting new playground.
A must have game... Specially if you got the 1st one
DVD1 single player
DVD2 multiplayer

Excellent Continuation of the First Game

Customer Rating:

The first game Crysis leaves you with a movie sequence showing Nomad, Psycho and Dr. Rosenthal heading back to the island to continue the fight. When I saw that I was ready for more action, but sadly that is where the game ended. Enter Crysis Warhead, continuing the story line, but now from Psycho's perspective - the British member of Raptor squad. Overall, excellent story line and missions I enjoyed every minute of it even after playing it twice through on Delta difficulty. In Crysis Warhead there are new explosive you can use to blow up enemy vehicles and a few new weapons to fire. The main draw for me was the story line and the action. A definite must have for any FPS gamer.
