    Finally, gamers can get their hands on the entire Crysis world in Crysis Maximum Edition. The 2007 PC Game of the Year* is packaged along with the critically acclaimed parallel story, Crysis Warhead, and the explosive multiplayer combat of Crysis Wars. For newcomers to the Crysis world, Crysis Maximum Edition gives players chance to don the Nanosuit in three different games for one low price. Whether they’re saving mankind from an alien apocalypse or fighting alongside friends in online team instant action matches, there is something for everyone in Crysis Maximum Edition.

    I just hope that the Crysis released in this game will be patched in to the new Optimized CryEngine 2 and not the crappy laggy one that came with it when it was released. I can DREAM Can't I.

    I have both games but i am going to buy this just to support Crytek and CRYSIS.

    Crysis was the worst game I have played in a while. What a waste of money, all the hype is because it requires such a high end computer, and in the end it's primarily just because of a poorly optimized engine.

    From Fudzilla:
    Of course I just bought Warhead from Steam for $29.99 a couple days ago. I don't even have the first Crysis yet.

    But Crysis Warhead's engine is BEA-Utifully optimized and looks 100000000000 times better than the original game. So you have to give it credit. If you don't like Crysis 1 because it lagged on your system then get WARHEAD, the OPTIMIZATION is not place bo. It is very real and runs super smooth. GET IT!!!

    Frankly, EA and crytek milking crysis for all it's worth...

    seriously... it's a game, and expantion pack, and the included online version, but in a standalone... but the stand alone online is included in a pack xDDD

    I don't get it.. Warhead never ran that much better. mabe 5% more FPS at most, and some of the graphics actually look worse and textures take alot longer to load in. The games themselves are fun, I guess some people just expect too much or something, but if your the kind of person who enjoys exploring around messing with new ways to approach a situation it's great, if you just run to the end of each level and kill enemies like they're just annoyances than I don't think any game is for you. Crysis and warhead have alot in them, but you have to just relax and play the game to have fun, don't play it as if your only goal is to beat it as fast as possible. And I would love to know what people would fix about this game, why it doesn't live up to the hype, because I really don't think you could make one person happy without upsetting the other in a game like this.

    This whole crysis maximum edition thing sounds like a dumb idea, there's only two games so far, and wars is NOT a game on it's own, I don't know why it's being labeled as 3 games. If a third crysis game comes out, that sounds like a better idea to make a pack with all three, but only two? And why when you can get both for about that same price right now anyway?

    actually, there is supposed to be 2 more, because its a trilogy, and warhead is a stand alone expansion, not another game...

    also, on that note, Crysis 1 imo was fun, cept for the alien part, crysis warhead = pathetic imo

    This is obviously not as important as the March 10th EVE Online expansion...

    But, Crysis is a good game.

    well, its just a way of milking money, if you have never owned a copy, this might be a good time. but be warned, the game requires a beast a machine to run decently and have no replay value at all. but still a fun 1 time go through

    Steam already has the complete pack for $59.99 US, so all they'll do is drop the price by $10.

    Crysis Warhead was a cool game, I played through it once or twice. The multiplayer component is seriously lacking in player numbers.

    In the end, neither Crysis was really GOTY worthy...

    Nah, it was not about smoothness. My desktop is pretty killer so it can handle Crysis without an issue.
    The game was boring.

    Guess everyone does not love this game as much as i did. But if you have never had any of the games then please pick this one up. I will just to have the box. :)

    I only have the Crysis box,not the Warhead one, as i have the EA Download Manager one off EBAY.

    I'm wondering if the included Crysis Warhead will have the same BS DRM crap in it, because if it does (or any other game for that matter), I'll never buy it.

    Other than that, I greatly enjoyed the original Crysis and am looking forward to future installments.
