Well, let's put it this way:
CRYSIS ON STEROIDS.
Now that I have that out of my system, let's talk about gameplay. The storyline follows Sargeant Michael Sykes, AKA: Psycho, in a parallel story to the original Crysis. Psycho is given the task of making sure the Koreans don't obtain a "secret weapon" by any means necessary.
The game is mostly fighting against the Koreans, which I found a lot more amusing than fighting the aliens. Being able to manipulate the battle is always the most fun part of Crysis. You do what you want to do in the battle. Like I said in my previous post, you can use stealth, brute strength, confusion, or a combination of both to take out the enemy, although this game is definitely focused on brute strength. Everywhere you look there's rocket launchers, explosives, and even grenade launchers. You almost always have a full pack of grenades. Really, everything you learned from Crysis can be applied, but more effectively now.
The multiplayer included, Crysis Wars, is a spectacular adition to the 30 dollar title, and functions like a stand alone game. Consider it along the lines of the battlefield series, combined with Call Of Duty 4, plus nanosuits. The only thing that would make it better was a ranking system with unlocks/stats, and more vehicle maps.
Overall, I'm quite impressed with Crysis Warhead. It's a lot better than Crysis, both story wise, and performance wise. For anyone with a decent little system, I can strongly recommend dropping the 30 dollars on what has so far been the best shooter for me this year.
