One of the best First person shooters to date I wouldn't write this much if it wasn't this good!
Many people here are probably familiar with Half life (my favorite game even though it may not be as good as Far Cry or Half life 2). Those who played it all the way back in 1998 know that indescribable feeling of playing something that is beyond anything you've ever experienced before. Well I somehow felt the same while playing this game. The level design (how it is SOOO big and not repetive), the weapons, and enemies are so well done. The level design is never repetive and shows you a whole new place every \time it can (with great graphics this is actually noticeable). Also the feel of the weapons and the sound of the reload animations are great (although not as good as Riddick or Call of duty). The enemies are also great. people complain that they are too smart, but at the easiest difficulty they'll be challenging yet able to be outsmarted my a human brain. Fighting them is never old since the physics are some of the best in any game (on vehicles it sorta sucks though). When you shoot a merc with an M4, the result is so satisfying (the guy just slams into the ground with lovely bullet marks on his corpse). Also the mutants, while pretty tough, are super fun to fight, Watching them reacting to your tactics (how those big scary dudes are scared of you; you thought you were scared of them!!) is just beyond description in words. The music also top-notch and the sound effects are nice. The value is also really good here not because of the multiplayer, but because of the quality of single player game. It is one of the best games that I've ever played.
