I bought Far Cry recently and beat very quickly on medium difficulty. 9-10 hours. I was very surprised by this; because the people at Crytek were showing off the 1.2 kilometers draw distance and so I assumed I would be traveling around the island searching for certain things, creeping around stealthily. But of course, No this wasn't the case. It was just blow everyone in your path to pieces. Yes, you have to be careful while doing this but it doesn't matter how stealthy you are. When an enemy hits the alarm the most that ever happens is the other guys are aware of your presence and a buggy with two guys might come. I was very disappointed in Far Cry for having so many indoor levels. In fact it frustrated me, because it looked so plain and boring inside; outside in the jungle is where all the actions happens. Trigents aren’t even a bother inside because a shotgun blast to the head takes care of them. Out in the jungle it’s different, they weave back and forth, jump around and do their best to avoid being killed. This of course makes it much more challenging. The cut scenes in Far Cry to me were terrible, they were not acted well and the movements of the characters seemed choppy, I would have preferred no cutscenes/ingame cut scenes. Now that I'm done with my complaints, here are the parts of Far Cry that make it a great game. Because of the 1.2 km draw distance, sniping is so incredibly fun. Taking a guy out from 1 KM away gives you a satisfying feeling (It’s hard though, Jacks' hands are very shaky). The Ai is also quite impressive; they call up reinforcements, duck for the nearest cover and flank you. But the Ai in the Trigents was average, but it didn't need to be good because well, they're escaped science experiments. The loading times are quite impressive. The only time there is ever a loading bar is at the end of a level, and that goes by quickly. You can always tell when you're checkpoint is being saved though. The game stutters for a second or two whilst its being saved but its not something that will get you killed or even hurt ( by a mercenary or Trigent). In conclusion; I though Far Cry was given more credit than it deserved. It was a fun 12 hours of playtime but not that awesome. The multiplayer was a letdown, shouldn't even be there unless you can get 64 player support. Maps are too big.. Far Cry is now at a discounted price and is worth picking up.
