Product reviews...
This looked like a good game that my husband would like as he likes any shooter games, especially if they have a good multiplayer aspect to the overall game.
The good: My husband really enjoys the multiplayer online part of Crysis 3, so much so in fact, that this is the only part of the game that he continues to play. The weaponry is his favourite part of the game and he finds that the maps are variable enough that he can easily get lost in mucking about in game and loose a good hour or two. The graphics are good, and overall multiplayer online is his favourite part of Crysis 3.
The bad: As someone who has come into this series at number three, my husband feels that entering the game this late in the story is not that good. Some sequels easily stand alone but he found some aspects of this confusing and just didn't get into it as easily as he would have if he had played the first two in the series. However, he is now considering hiring out the first two in the series and see if he enjoys them starting back at the beginning.
A great online gaming experience only let down by our inexperience with the world of Crysis 3 as previously set up by Crysis 1 & 2, otherwise a good game.
