Crysis 3 is the feverishly anticipated third instalment in the widely and critically acclaimed Crysis franchise; developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts. The game is the sequel to Crysis 2 (released in 2011), and will also run on the ground-breaking CryEngine 3 game engine that was introduced within its prequel. The Crysis series showcases an innovatively created first-person shooter, fusing this with high-tech military shooter and sci-fi elements, as well as sandbox gameplay. It is the year 2047, and the game revolves around a man by the name of Prophet, a character that has been re-introduced since the events of Crysis 2, and who has returned home to New York to discover that absolutely nothing is as he left it. In the aftermath of the alien invasion, New York City has been encased in a gigantic Nanodome bubble created by the sinister and vindictive Cell Corporation with the pretence of protection, leaving it to fester and transform itself into an urban rainforest. Within the nicknamed Liberty Dome the environment has been split into seven separate themed areas known as the Seven Wonders, with once tall and proud skyscrapers now crumbling away to nothing, the underground system rotting away as dark and dank caverns, and rivers where there were once roads. Now it is up to you as the protagonist Prophet to hunt down the members of the corrupt Cell Corporation, in order to discover the truth behind their actions. Armed with an enhanced Nanosuit, a lethal composite bow, as well as high tech human and alien technology and weaponry, both skill and adaptation is crucial if you want to survive this treacherous urban jungle, which is fraught with both human and Alien Ceph enemies. Prepare to be kept constantly on edge as you never know what might be lurking around the corner in this unpredictable ravaged city, and be ready to turn every situation and use this environment to your advantage. The extraterrestrials still wander the streets of New York, but this time you’re ready for them. Get ready to stalk, track, and hunt throughout this ruined city in pursuit of your pray, and ultimately revenge. (Cat Emerson) Click Images To Enlarge
