 Best game I'll never play due to DRM. EA stole $30 from me. December 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This may well be one of the best games of the year. For that matter it may well be one of the best FPS games to date! But I'll never get to experience it's full glory due to the crippling DRM.
The "security" feature built into the game supposedly allows you to install the game on 3 computers. What they dont tell you is installing any new hardware, or even upgrading a video driver will cause an new license to be used. Even if they told you, there is no way to deauthorize the computer because that feature has not yet been developed... Wow. Thats pretty important to the entire DRM system right? Leave the honest customer an out? Well EA doesnt care about you. Heres how I spent my 3 install activations:
1: Install the game and run it one time. Game activates.
2: Buy new video card, install it, run game. Game reactivates again!
3: Loan video card out to friend, use old video card, run game, Game reactivates again!
?: Put my new video card back in, run game, no more activations left.
Thanks EA! You just stole $30 from me! Thats what I get for being honest. So from now on I will be forced to either pirate games using this DRM, or just boycott those games all together. Either way, not another penny of my money will go toward anything with "activations" based DRM. It only seems fair to steal a game from EA now that they have stolen $30 from me for a game I cannot play.
So what was the game like? Well, the menus looked nice, and the first 20 mins of the game was fun. Very nice looking, but I cant really say much. I didnt get to experience much of it. I recommend EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THIS TITLE at least until a patch is released to remove the DRM, if that ever happens.
 Another Great Crysis Adventure December 21, 2008

One of my favorite games. This follow up to the original Crysis simply does not disappoint. I don't like DRM, but I had no issue with it. If I put millions at risk along with my creativity, I would not want the efforts of my labor stolen by pirates, either in the US or elsewhere.
PC games are at critical mass because developers lose a lot of revenue by those who pirate software. I, for one, do not want to be left playing dumbed-down console games.
Crysis Warehead was a great gaming experience.

 Crysis: Redux December 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For all of the DRM complaints, I had no problems installing, running and uninstalling the game under Vista. No Securom files were leftover after the uninstall save for my license files, which I deleted separately.
As for the game itself, it played and felt a lot like Crysis, only not as deep, and without the slowdowns that plagued Crysis in the "snow" levels. It was a fun game, with plenty of action, but the world didn't feel as interesting since I felt such a strong sense of dejavu. I would consider this, not a sequel, but more of a alternate POV, like Half Life: Blue Shift was to the original Half Life.

The game is very awesome. The graphics was very good. The bad side is that it is a short game. Hopefully, there will be a third version soon.
