Unbelievably frustrating

User Rating: 5 | Far Cry Instincts Predator X360

My PC ran out of juice video-card wise a number of months ago, so I eagerly anticipated getting this installment for the 360. What a disappointment. The game's premise seems good, but the execution is mind-numbingly annoying and frustrating. You take the 1st person role of a typical semi-interesting storyline whereby you are stuck in the Jucatan fighting for your life. You develop instinct powers that are largely useless and feel tacked-on.

The environment is largely the same, with lush jungles and some hut villages that allow your view to be obscured, but allow snipers 1/2 mile away to see you and pick you off while you have a leaf in your face obstructing your view.

At least you can reload and be more careful at that same spot, right?
Wrong.
There are pre-determined save spots that seem miles apart, ensuring that you play the same frustrating showdown half a dozen times before you get lucky enough to get it right.

There are few games I actually stopped playing prior to their finish due to frustration and repetitiveness. This is one of them.
