Ok, In a cloak perspective, you can play the campaign and take about 10 to 16 hours to accomplish the objectives. But I find it boring this way...I mean, where is the action? The emotion? You get what I said. However, I played the game those past days with a mixture of frontal assault and cloak mode and i find it more interesting if you play like this.
I completed the game in just 6 hours.
While many will say games like Crysis 3 are all about the multiplayer (which I did not have a chance to test it yet) – that still seems like a very good short campaign for a CryTek game, especially since I could bet on anything that Crysis 2 took me approximately 10 hours to complete.
Crysis 3 is set 24 years after the previous game and Prophet returns to New York to discover the city has been covered under a big Nanodome. And bla bla... Read the STORY if you wanna know what I'm talking about.
Just like in the previous games, you will want to switch between armor and cloak depending on your style. Often, I’d put on my cloak to take out three or four enemies or run right through them before switching on maximum armor mode so I could go in or out (depends on the mission) faster.
Customizing the weapons is very easy, but you will need to be in a safe place when you do that because it doesn’t pause the game when you press the menu button. I only customized my weapons for armor mode. But players who prefer stealth mode will like to use almost only silencer because if they don't, the cloak mode will deactivate and they will remain in the middle of fighting without energy too.
I rarely used the tactical binocular in the previous games because it required you to manually mark all enemies. Now, just put it over them and all that job is done. I used it nearly every time just to track my enemies. I also hacked almost every turret I saw, so they would take down some enemies. Unfortunately, the hacking gets very hard after you’ve done it twenty or thirty times over the course of a six hour game.
I was surprised that I almost never used the new bow during the campaign. It's not because I am not a good "archer" but you don’t have many arrows and because if you miss, you’re in deep trouble. I liked the guns that just shout bullet after bullet especially when I was could take control of Ceph weapons.
In the last mission, you play in the largest battlefields ever seen in this game with many enemies training to get you down. I mean it's enormous! And it has a big variety of side quests.
When they came with the Nanosuit he sacrifice Laurence Bounce, the man he was, to become Prophet. Maybe the greatest tactical combat mission in the world has ever known. But when you sacrifice everything you had to become a perfect, cold, hard, tactical machine, and that machine fails, What happens then? The Prophet fails! What's left? It's left the human behind the suit! And that is what saved the world in Crysis, not the machine! A good soldier knows who to relay on when chips are down. Not the cutting edge intel , not the equipment, not top of the line weapon, just himself! After all, we are only humans...
You can play Crysis 3 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
