The best FPS money can buy

User Rating: 9.5 | Far Cry PC
Far Cry has already been around for over a year, but no single player FPS has been released since that can top it (no, not even Half-Life 2). Crytek has really outdone themselves with this game; between the game play, graphics, and AI, this game is simply fantastic. The Cryengine that is used to power Far Cry is an amazing accomplishment and the lush environments that provide the background for this paradise gone wrong are simply beautiful (even with the settings turned all the way down it still looks great). As for the game play I am almost at a loss for words, there's just so much variety. I have played through this game 2 times and am now on my third play through and there are some situations that have unfolded completely different every time. The AI is also worth mentioning. It may not be perfect, as the enemies sometimes suffer apparent mental lapses and run directly into gunfire, but they will also run for cover, flank, and even wave their arms to get their buddies help from far away. All in all this is a game that should not be missed by anyone with a computer that can run it and at $19.99 new this game is an absolute steal.
