'''Crysis''' is a science fiction [[first-person shooter]] computer game developed by German company [[Crytek]] and published by [[Electronic Arts]]. It is the first game of a planned trilogy. It was released on November 13, [[2007]] in North America, November 15 in Australia, November 16 in Europe, November 23 in New Zealand, and November 29 in Japan. Initial NPD sales numbers were taken as a sign that the game had flopped. However, during EA's Q3 2008 Earnings Conference Call, it was stated that Crysis had sold over one million copies worldwide in the fiscal quarter and that the game continues to exceed sales expectations. A standalone expansion pack, [[Crysis Warhead]], was released. On September 9, 2011 it was announced that the game would be released for the [[Xbox 360]] and [[PlayStation 3]] as a digital download in October 2011. | |||

Crysis is based in a fictional future where an ancient alien spacecraft has been discovered beneath the Earth on an island near the coast of China. The single player campaign has the player assume the role of United States Delta Force operator Jake Dunn, referred to in-game by his call sign, Nomad. Nomad is armed with various futuristic weapons and equipment, most notably a "Nano Muscle Suit" which, according to Crytek senior game designer Bernd Diemer, was inspired by the United States' Future Force Warrior 2020 program. In Crysis, the player fights both North Korean and extraterrestrial enemies, in four different locations: a tropical island jungle, inside an "Ice Sphere" (consisting of the same jungle, but frozen), the alien ship itself (with a zero-gravity area) and a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Crysis supports Direct3D 10 for graphics rendering, and includes the same editor that was used by Crytek to create the game. | Crysis is based in a fictional future where an ancient alien spacecraft has been discovered beneath the Earth on an island near the coast of China.

Set in August 2020, Crysis follows Lieutenant Jake Dunn — codenamed "Nomad" — a United States Army Delta Force operative. As Crysis begins, an American team of archaeologists are taken captive by the North Korean Army, just as they were making an important discovery in the South China Sea. The United States responds by deploying a team of Delta Force soldiers — supported by the USS ''Constitution'' Carrier Strike Group — who begin to engage the North Koreans' large military installations. During this phase of the game, the setting is a tropical environment, similar to that in [[Far Cry]], Crytek's previous game. At the end of the first section, the mountain at the center of the island begins to crumble revealing a two-kilometer high alien structure beneath the surface, out of which aliens begin attacking both the US Military and North Koreans. | Set in August 2020, Crysis follows Lieutenant Jake Dunn — codenamed "Nomad" — a United States Army Delta Force operative.

Nomad enters the alien ship in this section and begins to explore the zero gravity environment, retrieving valuable information about the alien invaders, who periodically attack him. On exiting, Nomad discovers the ship has affected the surrounding area around the island by creating an ice sphere, killing every living being within it. After narrowly escaping the sphere using a VTOL, the final section of the game takes place on the USS ''Constitution''. | Nomad enters the alien ship in this section and begins to explore the zero gravity environment, retrieving valuable information about the alien invaders, who periodically attack him.
