I found it to be rather fun. The combination of Stealth (invisibility), and run-n-gun were really rather entertaining to me.

At first I bought it because of the "Ooh Shiny!" appeal, but after playing realised it was quite entertaining.
Just hopping on a .50 cal and mowing down palms is awesome, or strength punching punching enemies in the face.
I found that the plot was actually quite decent. It has some innovative ideas and good physics, the Zero-Gravity level is awesome!
It can't be that expensive now so just buy it!
I will say though, on the hardest difficulty it's about an 8 hour game, so the time is what you make of it. Don't play it straight, go wherever you want however you wanna get there. Ive played the game 4 times all differently as it's non-linear to a point.
All the best mate.

As for good plot and play-time, Half-Life 2 + Episode 1 and 2 + Portal has it for me. (Come one Half-Life 2 Ep3 and Portal 2, be developed already!)

The cloak is a joke in multiplayer and I hate people that use it. You can hear it really well, and it gives off your position too.

It's nice to look at, and does a great job making you feel justified in having a GPU the size of a small manatee in your case. http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectacle/manatee.bmp
However, the gameplay lacked in my opinion (it was a bit clunky) and the story was just above average. I agree with a poster above that it's just a bit too manly macho 14year old wet dream for my taste. Kinda like Master Chief / Halo but with far less personality. On a lighter note, I started off loving the game; it would occasionally dull, only to be revitalized by twists in the plot. Overall, I would give it a 80 / 100, it is above average (75) but just too cliched and clunky to get above an 80.
EDIT: Just to address a point that many others bring up. I did not really find any sort of non-linearity. I went through on the hardest difficulty the first time and spent most of my time regenerating my nanosuit so I could sneak up on someone else and go back into hiding. On the hardest difficulty, anything except for cloak was almost worthless in terms of killing the bad guys.

The graphics are fantastic and the multiplayer would save the replayability value if it wasn't for the multitudinous idiots and cheats online. Maybe get Warhead for Crysis Wars, which I hear is a much better and updated version of the multiplayer element. |
