The graphics, the sound, the fun -Far Cry.An outstanding game-read this review and you will know why.
You are playing as Jack Carver, a man who`s been hired to sail a mysterious woman around the Pacific. However, his ship comes under attack, after that he finds him self on a tropical island. He hast to find the mysterious woman that vanished somewhere. In outstanding look of the tropical island, a army of skilled,armored mercenaries and some hell of a fights he will have to get through to save her. When I first looked the game, its graphics I though “wow, wow-is that possible” and it is in Far Cry, it just looks great so you have to play it when you see this wonder.
No doubt that Far Cry uses a graphic machines that is so far in front of all other game, there are few games that can mess with this games graphics. The characters just look so immersive, detailed till the end. The enviorment its just amazing, trees, grass and bush are all perfect made. The games graphics just runs well and I don’t think that any person on the world would say that this game has a graphics. The water, the sand, just everything is just so well made, my thoughts are that this graphics will be hard to overcome.
Lets skip to the campaign, all the game you will be guided by a man on the phone. He will tell you what to do, that means he will give you your objectives and you will make them from A-B. The mercenaries is all but dumb, the A.I in this game is fluent, the mercenaries will hide behind some cover, shoot while running, so its not so easy to kill them and especially because they have a body armor on. So shooting in the head will cause death. The physics in Far Cry are good, shooting into corps will move them, they are not like stone, but still shooting into a crate will not brake it. My opinion on that would be that all games that are should make theyr best for the physics, because it play a big role in games. Yeah, Far Cry is a firs-person shooter what almost all shooter are and that is well so, shooting easier with your four guns you can have at once. There are lots of weapons which are all in real life
The storyline just goes, you killing mercenaries to come forward, every time nearer to the mysterious woman, lots of shooting, sneaking around-play a big role in the game, sneaking around the jungle as quit as you can will make you possible to be Splinter Cell, but no you play as Jack Carver not as Sam Fisher. You can through rock to disturb the mercenaries, that good-they follow the voice so through the rock away from you. The thing that I came with up is that they just fire red alert when they hear something, they really should investigate longer about what was the noise. And a creepy thing in the Far Cry happens and by my opinion that thing was a bad thing for the game is the mutants--no all, but mercenaries turn into some mutants, creatures, were involved in an experiment, and these creatures are all but nice. With a little-not paying attention-from you they kill you easy so be aware of the danger. So the first thing when I saw these creatures was me thinking “o no, I thought this was this, killing mercenaries, what now” because I really don’t like some nasty mutants. Yes, they need a story but this was the part when I started to play the game with less fun. However, you still fight good, old friends mercenaries. I also like that you can swim, dive-this can be a way of travel. The game offers some vehicles-jeeps, hang gliders, and boats-however, I recommend not to use them often, the best way of travel is on foot, you are not that quick there, but you are a lot safer than with a boat or a jeep that can be easy spotted.
The save system here is like in Half-Life and any other games that load at checkpoints, means that you cant save the progress manually If you die you will have to restart at your previous checkpoint, sometimes this checkpoint can be far from each other so It can be frustrating to play that long again to come to where you died. I think that this feature is not so good, maybe it is harder to play games whit this kind of saving system but it’s a lot better if saving is a manual thing. Have to say something about the sound too, its great-hearing helicopters come nearer and nearer, also under water when you are nice swimming, hearing rockets behind you-cool. You can spy what are the mercenaries taling about with the special scope that can track what are they talking about. Oh and, you also know where every of your enemies are with just a look on you map you will se their positions and also if they are red that means a red alert, if yellow they are in a middle-alert and in green that is just normal.
The camping is around about fifteen hours, maybe more if you play on harder level and believe me the hardest level is not a picnic. You will have to really be good if you want to make it on that level. However the campaign half is just superb, no doubt so now im going to tell a little more about the multiplayer mode that is not that quite good.
This, multiplayer portion of the game could be the bad side of the game, one of few bad sides of Far Cry. The first thing that is disappointing is that there are only three game modes-- free-for-all, team deathmatch, and assault--also a limited number of maps for every mode. The maps are large in size so if playing with small group of player you will be hiding and seeking the most of the time so in this point the sniper is a mighty weapon. One thing that is good is the heavy your weapons is the slower you move, what is realistic and I like that. The weapons fell unbalance, for instance the sniper-rifle is the weapons to overlord them all, the rocket launcher that just splatters the enemies.
If you don’t have the proper hardware than you wont experience the whole potential of this game and that would be sad, this game deserves a chance. If you have the right hardware you will have a lot of fun, gaming and all the things that goes with this one of a kind games. Outstanding graphics, sound and a good plot.
Gameplay- Good playing, the developers never stop to surprise you with new challenges in the game
Graphics- Though if you look the date that im writing this review, this game has the far best graphics that I every saw.
Sound- The enviorment is speaking with you when you crawl around, don’t mention the mercenaries that are speaking with you with heavy gun and you hear all just great.
Value- Just a long campaign, really long and a multiplayer that can keep you busy for sometime.
