Honestly I find this strip is a bit more contrived than the first.
Crysis is an excellent game despite its shitty storyline and characters, and from a design perspective I think it would be very, very intriguing for you, Shamus, although you really have to play the whole game as the first level serves as mostly plot exposition and familiarisation with the game elements. It's the second one where things really pick up and get more fun and interesting. The game really, really encourages players to experiment, and the best part is that it almost always works.
Crysis does not do everything right, but when it does do things well, it does them really, really damn well.
Sorry if this reads like a fanboy endorsement, but I find that
Crysis is severely underrated by the gaming community. Outside of its visuals, many people dismiss it as "just another shooter" but if you take the time to get to know the game there is far, far more depth to it. They just released a pack with the original game as well as the stand-alone expansion
WARHEAD, which is very much worth your time and money.

It is actually quite easy to modify the config file so the koreans speak korean on all difficulties.
The idea I think is that it's harder to tell what they're doing. In practice it just means that they won't scream "grenade" when they chuck one at you. I prefer the Korean, really. It makes much more sense than the stereotypical and sometimes downright offensive caricatures that get used otherwise.
