Crysis, the first game of a planned trilogy, is a first-person shooter set in the year 2019. The player takes on the role of the US soldier Jake Dunn. On a remote Pacific island a meteor has been excavated and the North Korean army quickly moved in to secure the location. After they capture a team of US archaeologists the US Army sends in a Delta Force team to investigate and free the scientists.

During the battles with the North Korean soldiers it becomes apparent that there is an even greater threat. When the meteor opens up a huge alien ship is revealed that starts to xenoform the island by freezing it over. The Americans and North Koreans are forced to join forces when alien machines emerge from the vessel and attack both sides. Now both sides have to stop the xenoforming process together.

Crysis offers a single player campaign as well as an objective based multiplayer for up to 32 players. One of the main innovations of the game is the so called Nanosuit. This high tech combat suit allows the player to increase his speed, strength or speed for short amounts of time. He can even get into a cloaking mode and become invisible.

In the single player campaign the player will encounter several enemy types. While he will face North-Korean soldiers in the beginning he will first encounter aliens in a Zero-G environment once he enters the meteorite he will encounter the aliens. When leaving the meteorite the actual alien invasion begins and he will now face mainly small alien scouts and the larger alien hunters.

During the campaign the player will find a number of more or less typical shooter weapons starting from a simple gun up to a portable nuke launcher. He can also use some alien weapons which allow the freezing of opponents. Frozen opponents can be shattered.

There is also an extensive weapons upgrade feature which is available from the start and which allows the player to reconfigure weapon configurations on the fly. He can add tactical ammunition which knocks out enemies or sniper scopes for example.

Just like Crytek's previous game Far Cry, the game comes with a sandbox editor to create new levels.
