Is crysis 1 a free-roam game?

Crysis has just come on PSN and I am wondering whether it is an open world game such as far cry or if it is like crysis 2 where there are levels.



I thought crysis 2 was free roam and was greatly disappointed when I discovered that in fact it was not.



This information will probably effect my purchase.

You got your games a bit muddled, I think. Far Cry (1) has levels (really open ones), while Far Cry 2 is open world. As you say, Crysis 2 is level-based.



Crysis (1) is level based, like Far Cry (1) and Crysis 2. It is not a free-roam open-world game. However, the levels are considerably more open than those in either Far Cry or Crysis 2. Generally, they can be approached from any direction, using a variety of tactics. It's very replayable, and I recommend it.



One important note, however! This only applies to the first half of Crysis. The second half is linear, and can even get repetitive.Is crysis 1 a free-roam game?
It is more like Far Cry than Crysis 2 - large-ish levels but no true free-roam (come to think about it, Far Cry wasn't a true free-roam either).
