Far Cry offers stunning graphics and good game play. This game does have one of the best atmospheres of any game I have played in recent memory. The atmosphere is so good, it reminds me of the System Shock series. There have been several moments where I’ve been startled or felt spooked by the game. This does not happen to me often with other games. The game play is very good as well. I like the crouching and leaning abilities. I also like the fact that you can sneak up on enemies in many cases. My only complaint about the game play is that I am finding the game very challenging to complete now that I am more than half way through. I am the first to admit I am not the best at FPS since I spend most of my time with turn based strategy or RPGs. I may not finish the game, but I have fully enjoyed it nonetheless. At this point, I have to reload frequently to advance in the game and I’m starting to find this very tedious. The games graphics and sound effects are terrific. The graphics are gorgeous and must be making Activision and Sierra sweat a bit considering how late they have been with Doom 3 and Half Life 2. Far Cry has risen the bar for FPS graphics. I also think that Far Cry’s sound effects are very good and the music helps create the spooky atmosphere I was describing above. Having the game take place on an island setting is unique from the FPSes that I have played. I’ve found the settings so visually compelling that I have almost as much fun just wandering around after I’ve cleared everyone as I do hunting down and killing the enemies. The flora on the island offer many opportunities to spring out and surprise your enemy and the way they have implemented it gives you the feeling of doing so. It is overall an exciting and rich game experience. I highly recommend it.
