Rating: - DRM Punishes legit users. Shame EA.
A decent game, but not worth paying full price to rent from EA. Read up carefully on DRM before you purchase. You're better off pirating a cracked copy and sending EA a check.
Rating: - Warhead Xpac
Though technically Warhead is a standalone game, it is more or less just another Crysis campaign. This one runs parallel to part of the original Crysis story, and the difficulty is clearly aimed at experienced players. If you played and enjoyed the original, you'll likely enjoy this. One must bear in mind, however, that this really is essentially an expansion pack- don't expect a full length game out of Warhead, or you'll be let down.

Rating: - For me, better than the first installment....Warheads a winner
First things first. I played through this game in its entirety. I also have a hefty gaming machine that has plenty of power to run it. And I purchased it from Steam. While I hate these draconian DRM schemes as much as everyone else, they have rarely gotten in my way. So I want to share my thoughts about Crysis Warhead, instead of the DRM problem.
I struggled with the original Crysis. There was WAAAYY to much hype and noise around it. I played through it several times, hoping ... Read More
Rating: - DRM means I will not purchase this title.
The original Crysis was lots of fun, with the ability to cloak and ambush patrols, or engage large groups of enemies with hit and run tactics when you're in dense jungle.
Unfortunately, given the DRM on Crysis Warhead, I will not be purchasing this product. I'm sure it's a good game, but it's not a must have, and I have had previous negative experiences with Starforce, another form of DRM.
Rating: - Game Review
Aside from the horrid DRM debacle which EA now says it will not use any longer through Valve's Steam I must say this is an awesome expansion.
Crysis Warhead is much shorter than the original Crysis but Crytek addressed all the short comings of the first title and made this a killer. Not only is the storyline solid but the game play is more intense and never really lets you down for a minute. With optimized code and even sharper graphics this game will keep you playing until the ending credits. ... Read More
