Warhead takes place during the events of the first game, so continuity-wise, the similar setting and enemies also fit. But excusing that, the mission itself offered little in terms of new gameplay elements. Driving down a road, I had to shoot up a number of other vehicles and soldiers while following another APC. They exploded, and I infiltrated a compound, placing a charge inside a green trailer. Nothing I haven't done in Crysis a dozen times already. I did get my hands on a few of the new weapons. Dual submachineguns were mildly amusing to play around with, and the grenade launcher made for a decent demo of those particle effects. Neither are anything we haven't seen in a hundred other games, though. At the end of the day, whether or not this game has a place on your shelf will likely be based on how much you enjoyed the original game. Crysis Warhead is looking very much like more of the same.
