Far cry is simply a game that you’ll never forget.
The weapons in the game are very varied, and you can only have four at time so you have to be careful and have a weapon for a specific situation. This game also uses a checkpoint system which is mainly designed to avoid constant quicksaving like another games. But the special part of the gameplay is that it lets you try different approaches, for ex: you have to go to the other side of the island, you can go by foot eliminating all the enemies or doing it or you can try to sneak, but if you want you can go on and use the hang slider, though maybe one of the helicopters can spot you if you don’t like those you can jump to the water steal a boat and go, so this is indeed a very open-ended gameplay which is given by the fact that you can explore all the island if you like, and so on.
Far cry features good sound the environmental effects are very well done, the conversations between the mercenaries will usually give you clues about what you should do, and some of them are very funny to hear. The voice acting isn’t breaking any ground but is very good for the most part. The story is very interesting to follow but it isn’t anything from the other world. But if you don’t want (though you’ll be missing a lot), you can ignore the single player and jump to the multiplayer, which features deathmatch and assault which is objective based. The game also runs very smooth, even in low end systems. I have a geforce FX 5200, and tweaking some settings I could get a smooth frame rate and excellent graphics. Far cry also features and utility that lets you create your own modules, though it isn’t as user friendly as others, however, there are many good mods in the internet. Overall Far Cry is an incredible experience featuring a lot of great ideas, mixing great gameplay, superb graphics, good sound, and a great replay value.
