Crysis: So clever it's stupid

Reason #5: You're spoilt for choice
Crysis boasts a lot of guns. Combined with the Nanosuit, you've got endless ways to take down enemies – and right from the start too, because Crysis doesn't make you wait to get your hands on the good stuff. And not only do you have guns, but you can pick up attachments and add-ons, making selecting a weapon from your arsenal like diving into a Pick-and-Mix counter.

Guns can be picked up from fallen enemies, or found lying around, as can various attachments to add to the ones you begin with. Grab the gun you want then bring up a sub-menu and you get a stack of customisation options, from sniper scopes and silencers or the ability to fiddle with the firing speeds. So, if you're feeling suicidal, you can strap a sniper scope to an assault rifle and see just how inefficient it is at taking down far-away soldiers.

You also have your fists which, when combined with your Nanosuit's super-strength ability, are actually very effective, and not just useful for when you've run dry of ammo. In fact, during our Deathmatch session, one rival used his fists the whole time. And ended up doing annoyingly well. Grrrr.
