The story for Crysis begins with a seemingly small confrontation between the United States and North Korea over the kidnapping of some archeologists on a small Pacific Island. Set in the year 2020, players take the role of Nomad, a member of an elite US Special Forces team, who is sent in to rescue the archeologists. Upon arriving you soon discover that there's something more to this "little" confrontation with the North Koreans, more specifically an alien invasion and you quickly become embroiled in fighting for not only your survival but fighting to stop the invasion. The game's story unfolds like a great book where each turn of the page something new and exciting is uncovered. There are no traditional cut scenes, rather the story is told through various assignments and dialog with your superior officer and a seamless flow from one gorgeous environment to another.
