Ah Crysis, easily the most beautiful game to come out last 2007!  Provided you own a super computer, this game is probably the most visually rewarding so far.  Even at fairly low settings, the graphics are so beautiful, it actually makes you feel like you are in the game.   

So what makes it all work?  CryEngine 2. 

CryEngine 2 is the backbone of the game.  It’s what drives all that beautiful eye candy.  News of it debuting on multiple platforms on the upcoming GDC is creating a stir.  There won’t be a public showing of this though, but this is still exciting news!  This means that most probably, Crysis is coming to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3!

Don’t get your hopes up though.  Crysis can barely run with most of today’s PC systems.  The engine was optimized to run on future hardware after all.  It is therefore logical that they had to tone down the engine pretty much for it to run on either of the two consoles.  However, it will probably still be as stunning as ever.
