This is an awesome game. And even on low, with physics and water on high, it still looks nearly like an acceptable PS3/360 game. And Crysis Wars is so fun. Hope the new iMacs can run this on very high.

I've played through this a couple times and I really enjoyed it. The action and combat are very well paced so it is consistently fun. It also has enough variety for the 4-5 hours to vanish in a blink of an eye.
I'm running it on a quad core with an 8800 GT so I can't max the settings but I can run it all on gamer, but to increase performance I turn the textures down to mainstream to get a decent 40fps or more.
Everything about the Crysis games keeps me coming back for more. I wonder what type of machine I'll need for Crysis 2???

I wish my laptop ran this 
It shuts down and cries in the corner when it hears the word "Crysis"
I hope the next gen of consoles exceeds these graphics

I don't. Already it seems to me that more time and money now has to be spent meeting the graphical expectations of current gen consoles, leaving other aspects of games to rot - like solid single player experiences, unlockable content (as opposed to achievements - *yawn*) and fresh gameplay ideas.
It's Soul Calibur IV and Ninja Gaiden 2 that particularly gave me that impression. Ninja Gaiden 2 looked great but never played or flowed as well as number one and had none of the fun unlockables... apart from a giant crystal skull that does nothing... awesome. And SCIV's single player experience was pathetic. From a series recognised for it's interesting story... shameful.
GTAIV is another example. That game was *empty* compared to earlier games in the series. Somewhere in the transition to HD the fun got left behind - leaving you to hit a few stunt jumps, spray cops with a firetruck, shoot some pigeons(!), or visit the strip joints or the club. Or, if you're truly masochistic, play the poorly implemented minigames.

But the thing is, Crysis is Awesome fun, even on low it is one of the most fun games around. I might even get the first one now.

Loved my play through of this, it goes full throttle from the start and the action really doesn't let up till the credits roll. About the only "slow" part was a section in a cave but it was so short and good looking (The lighting OMG dose it look good in the section) it didn't really matter

Can't we have both?
Graphics and gameplay all the way.

Yes! Thankyou! Less dialogue, less trying to implement a shitty story, more blowing shit up
