Warhead goes alongside Crysis, happening at the same time as the first game’s story. On a tropical island, there’s this alien thing that both the United States and North Korea want. But then aliens attack, freezing the island and putting the whole world in danger. This time, you play as British Sergeant Michael Sykes, also known as Psycho, who was in the first game. Warhead’s story happens on the other side of the island from Crysis. If you played Crysis, you know how it starts and ends, so what’s important here is the adventure in between.
There are lots of big battles that show this move toward more action. Your first fight with a huge alien machine might not be as shocking as in Crysis, but it happens sooner and gets you hyped up. There’s also a tense defense mission where you fight off aliens and have to switch weapons a lot. Another cool part is when you’re on a train, which seems like other shooter games, but you can jump off and fight whenever you want, making it more exciting.
The vehicles are tough, which is good because you’ll be driving them a lot. You can speed through the jungle, blasting enemies with mounted weapons and destroying stuff around you. One part where you ride a hovercraft across the icy landscape is especially thrilling, with enemies all around you.
Crysis Warhead Torrent is a great deal, and it’s hard to find a better shooter on PC this year. The single-player story is excellent, and multiplayer is fun too. I like how you have to think fast in Warhead, instead of just following a script. Crytek proves once again that they’re one of the best shooter makers out there, even if some people unfairly think they’re only about fancy tech. They’ve listened to complaints about Crysis and made Warhead even better.
