Crysis 3 [Essentials]

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.

Most of the missions are played alone, but also often with AI squadmates that star in the cutscenes and play a crucial part in the story.

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 singleplayer 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 armor, strength or speed for short amounts of time.

Jake Dunn and his fellow soldiers can get into a cloaking mode, become invisible and recover health when the suit is powered up.

In the single player campaign, the player will encounter several enemy types.

A large part is spent fighting North-Korean soldiers.

Aliens are first encountered in a Zero-G environment once the meteorite has been breached.

When leaving the meteorite, the actual alien invasion begins and the player then mainly faces small alien scouts and the larger alien hunters.

During the campaign, there are a number of more or less typical shooter weapons to be gathered, such as machineguns, a shotgun, a missile launcher, a sniper rifle, explosives, various types of grenades and a gauss gun.

Crysis 3 [Essentials] for PlayStation 3 is currently worth €14.90 loose, €7.38 complete in box, and €30.25 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Crysis 3 [Essentials] has only a handful of tracked market sales, suggesting relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 3 titles.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Crysis 3 [Essentials], loose is €14.90 and CIB is €7.38 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
