Check Out the Interactive Crysis 3 Trailer

Are you a stealth or action man? That is the question Crytek wants to ask you in this new interactive trailer for Crysis 3, which gives you the option at two key points to choose between a sneaky stealth approach, or a more direct, aggressive approach. Watch/play the video below and experience it for yourself.

This type of trailer, which demonstrates gameplay and integrates interaction, is a thousand times better than the CGI movie trailer approach to promoting games. As for the game itself, it looks like it's shaping up to be a reasonably entertaining shooter like its predecessor, but fancy new crossbow aside, I don't see any remarkable steps forward for the series here. The same dreary post-apocalyptic setting returns, albeit with more fauna this time, and the "action bubbles" still look like an awkward compromise between the more open-world style of the first game and a straight-laced linear shooter, although the demo does offer a few tantalising glimpses of expansive looking areas.

The good news for anyone planning on buying a Wii U is that Crysis 3 might end up being released on Nintendo's new console. In an interview with CVG, Crysis 3 producer Mike Read said that a Wii U version was "a possibility" and that Crytek "are working with Nintendo."

Crysis 3 is set to be released in February 2013.
