Great use of current gamming technlogy (2004), however poor gameplay brings this game down.
Opponents have great tactics at long range, giving the player some very interesting battles, however in later levels the cramped bases show that their AI do not handle close encounters very well. Initial troops are fairly hearty and take a reasonable amount of hits before they go down, but in later levels the "elite" non-mutant soldiers can survive several head shots and continue on.
The story is a modified version of "The Island of Doctor Moreau" where you play as a jock ex-soldier who is dumb as a rock. Every main character is genius, except for you. You spout an endless stream of annoying one-liners and stupid questions.
The game uses two very poor methods of making the game harder, one, they increase the distance of auto-save points, two the hitpoints of the same opponents are increased as you progress. Both add frustration, and take players out of the experience.
Farcry tries to be a great game...
But unfortunately fails.
