That of course raises the issues of how one should judge the game – as a self-contained game, or as an accompaniment to the original. If we use the former scale then Crysis Warhead is a competent, if slightly incomprehensible experience given the initial lack of exposition. It’s fun, but not something you’d find hugely essential.

If you judge it using the other metric though, then Crysis Warhead becomes something different entirely. If you’ve played and loved Crysis first then you’ll play and love Warhead because it offers up essentially the same experience, but with more of a focus on huge cinematic set pieces with developing Psycho’s character.
