Try Crysis Wars for free next weekend

Or download now and LAN all week.

Crytek will be offering free online trials of Crysis Wars this weekend, starting Friday evening and ending early the following Monday morning.

Also, from today, the multiplayer add-on can be downloaded and played over LAN connections for the entire week before the Gamespy servers open.

Crysis Wars shipped alongside and beefed up the multiplayer options in Crysis Warhead, the standalone expansion to Crysis that we thought was rather fantastic.

And those that already own the PC game can expect "something extra special" during the free trial weekend, according to a Crytek statement.

Pop over to the official Crysis site for more.

    Played the retail version and frankly the novelty value of the nano suit in multiplayer wears thin pretty soon. Firefights aren't particularly satisfying and the game modes aren't interesting. Assault can be entertaining with enough players, although team instant action makes me want to fall asleep.

    Crysis Wars reminds me of FEAR Combat, they haven't been given as much thought as their single player components. Unlike, say, the Splinter Cells.

    I'm gonna buy Crysis: Warhead real soon but I think I'm gonna test this online first.
