We went all the way to Crytek's offices in Germany to get the lowdown on Crysis, one of the most anticipated action games on the horizon. So, what is Crysis? First, it's in no way related to Far Cry, and it's not a follow-up or spin-off of that game. Instead, it's an original alien invasion story set in the Spratly Islands, a small group of islands that actually exist in the real world and whose ownership is disputed by various nations, though the island in the game is far larger than any of its real-world counterparts, which are more reef than island.
