"Holy crap this is a cool game!"

User Rating: 10 | Far Cry PC
I just kept saying that, throughout the whole game. To put it simply, everything about this game was cool. Sure the plot was weak and predictable, but it actually doesn't matter. The game is so outrageously awesome that you completely forget there is a plot until you get an escort mission. The graphics are incredible, the enemy programming is incredible, the vehicles, the water, absolutely everything is polished to such a fine degree it makes your brain hurt just thinking about it. Although the game could have used a bit more of a melee aspect, slash a bit of interactivity with the enemies, I found blowing holes into them with a desert eagle equally satisfying. The ragdoll is very realistic, including bloody mist trails in the water which actually attracts sharks! The ability to do pretty much anything you want to anything is a very delicious addition to the game. My only gripe really is, that the game is brutally difficult. Newbies will have an insane amount of trouble even on the easiest difficulty setting. A small price to pay.
