It's by Crytek, the same studio that did Far Cry (the original PC version)... Not sure if you caught that one when it came out a few years back, but it's also a very decent game...
I played the Crysis demo admittedly just to check out what my new computer could do (which was all details set to high on max resolution, running at a fairly steady, playable-if-not-quite-30FPS speed), but when it came down to purchasing a game last weekend, I settled on Oblivion GotY...
However, while the great reviews put it on my maybe list, finding out that it's by the Far Cry folks made it a definitely... Somewhere down the line... Plus it's already down to $40...
As for "slow sales"... Not sure how reliable wikipedia is in this case, but...
"Initial NPD sales numbers were taken as a sign that the game had flopped.[5] However, during EA's Q3 2008 Earnings Conference Call, it was stated that Crysis had sold over one million copies worldwide in the fiscal quarter and that the game continues to exceed sales expectations."
