Far Cry

[Kekvit Irae]

FarCry was... ok. Stunning graphics and great on the strategic level, but gameplay left something to be desired. I had to stomach finishing the game. I learned me lesson... if a game isnt enjoyable, stop playing. I applied this life lesson to other games as well, such as FEAR.

I loved it, and I like the x-box version even more. I do have to agree with the game losing it's edge later on, but that is just because it so unlike anything else out there. The awe of it's scope wears of and you are left with just the game mechanics, and there isn't anything like story or creative design that will keep you interested till the end. This goes just to show how great it really is, certainly one of the best shooters ever, you can only blaim it for not being perfect.

Eh? That the gimmick of fantastic, large scale graphics wears thin once you get used to them, revealing a rather standard FPS is a sign of how brilliant the game is? That was the problem I had with the game: take away the admittedly fantastic graphics and you're left with an entirely unoriginal shooter with solid mechanics, which gets very repetitive after the opening levels.

Well, yes

A shooter is a shooter, and Far Cry is glorious in being just that, and it even blends in running and hiding in a rediculously fun way without compromising the action. If you want it to be more then it won't deliver, but if you like blasting things I cannot think of a better way to spend some time.

Incredible graphics but as said before...nothing special other then that...I got some jaw dropping screenshots off it though

A FPS that can keep me glued to the screen from start to finish and leave me wanting more and more expansions is truely a rare thing indeed.

That is an excellent game. I really wish Bohemia would finish up "Game 2"* and release it....

*Game 2 is the new name for OpFlash 2 after Bohemia lost the rights to the name because Codemasters dropped the PC version or something in favor of a console version. There was some legal battle over the rights as well, but I obviously don't know the specifics.
