The difficulty of this game is something that I was not expecting. After a couple of levels I managed to get the hang of it. Normally I start a game at the medium level but this game I had to start it at easy.
After playing his game, I just had to have one for myself. My brother had this game and let me play it and I was hooked. It is a great 1st Person Shooter game and is very challenging. Lots and Lots of Fun.
It will let you reap the benefits of normal blood pressure after about a week. There were some parts of the game where I would have to stop playing for a few days and gather my nerves after trying to the same part for hours straight.On the plus side, it has very good graphics and physics are good. I felt like I could play Far Cry for an hour without finding a save point. One issue that really bugged me was the way that talking competed with the game. I didn't much care for the voice acting in the game and I felt the main character was extremely cliche'. A few years later I was looking for a new game to play and I saw this on the shelf at Best Buy. I played the demo of this game a while back and liked it from what I had played (which was very little). I didn't remember how to play really and I was shocked at how quickly you get thrown into the thick of the game.
The vehicles are fun to use as well. It was only 20 bucks so I decided to give it a go. Maybe it is just me, but I hate getting through a difficult part only to get killed by something stupid and having to redo that entire difficult part. The weapon selection is pretty good too.I wouldn't pay much more for this game than $20.
My biggest peeve about this game is the lack of save points. It seemed like every time Doyle would talk to me I would be in the middle of a firefight or I wouldn't be able to hear a word he said without stopping what I was doing and turning up the volume. I don't really like fighting eagle-eyed mercs from 1000 yards away with a pistol when they have armor and assault rifles. The story was rather mediocre and the idea of genetically altered something or others is so overdone.
Also, don't play on the hardest setting like I did.
One of the best first-person shooter games I have played.Good graphics, the graphics engine is good for outdoor scenes and rendersvegetation very nicely.
There is no inventory section within Far Cry to store this loot, supplies and extra weapons. This game was rated as the best of it's game class for the year. But this is only a minor detail that does not impact any the fun and challenge presented by this game. I liked all aspects of this game with a minor few exceptions. It played very interesting with a lot of appeal. I am use to LOOT being gathered from my previous games as a minor feel good reward to me for doing good. It is like "Location, Location, Location" = This game is "Buy, Buy, Buy".
