Sick of FPS? Then play THIS!!

User Rating: 9.3 | Far Cry PC
UBI seriously did release a masterpiece of the game industry. Far Cry from Crytek is one of the best single player FPS in this year yet. FPS is now a kind of a genre that people beginning to get sick of due to lots of titles in this genre were released and will be release. That was the first impression of the Far Cry, just another FPS; but after I played 5 minute, I just had to withdraw my thought because this game is simply DIFFERENT!!! Lets talk about the graphics first. Graphic, i shall say.... gorgeous. The way they expressed trees, beach, water... is just too realistic. Even if you have videocard that only can run the game with 60 FPS in lowest setting, you will just love the look of the game. Only thing that bothers me in the game is that gun that enemy holds does not lay down after they drop it. It just stand after landed, which it look pretty stupid, but makes easier to find gun in grass. Sound of the Far Cry is not revolutionary as graphics, but BGM makes sometimes build up your tention in battle, makes you feel that you are in jungle. One thing that I dont like about in sound is Gun. Gun sound do make you feel that you are shooting gun, but it is not loud, and its little simple toned. But it will not bother the game much. Far cry's Value is one of the little issue in here, It is pretty long for the FPS, but multiplayer section of the game is kinda bad... since weapon is unbalanced, players moving too slow, and having same old game modes. So single player section of the game is what really matters. Thank god, Far Cry is not really a game that you will throw out after first time you play, you probably want to do the whole game again in different approach. You will know what I mean in next paragraph. OK, now is the most important part; The Gameplay. Gameplay part is one of the part that really matters in FPS, and it is the part that breaked my stereotype of the FPS. One of the big difference in Far Cry compare to other FPS, is that you are definitely not a superman. What I mean is, you will die very quick if you are not careful. Even one soldier that you usually slaughtering throughout the game can kill you by one mistake. In other FPS, you probably think about going through the game with less damage, but in this game, you better not get any damage or else you will see yourself lay on the floor. You can take little more bullet in the easiest difficulty, but it still will kill you if you face 2~3 guys in point-blank range. Another thing that is revolutionary is covers and draw distance of the graphic engine, it makes you to see very far with binoculars. So before enemy even notice your existance, you can see the bare landscape and enemy's patrol route, so you can plan out attack to obliterate all of them without damage. (or little damage...) Far Cry is just a too different, revolutionary FPS you will ever face. To say to truth, I find Far Cry graphic more attractive than that of Doom 3. If you have not played this game, you MUST play it, or you will regret it for your whole life.
