Yes, it's a very good game.

Short on the single player side, and the multiplayer doesn't have a lot of people anymore though.

As for polls, I think you need to be above a particular level before you can create them.

Yes, but it has frustrating level design, frustrating health system, frustrating difficulty, frustrating enemies and a frustrating save system.

It's the most frustrating game ever.

I personally hate it, not many weapons, you can't look down the sights properly, the monkey morphs trijan things are rubbish, theres no fricking storyline (worse than crysis) and it is SH!T P!ISS AND F**K DIFFICULT!

and i was playing on medium!!

like the guy above me said its very frustrating.

crysis is way way better, get it if your pc can play it or if you havent played it already.

Well, all you have to be able to do is....run backwards firing a shotgun..tossing grenades and reloading the shotgun all at about the same time. It does take a little practice. :D

what difficulty did you complete it on?

i had to do the invincible mod/cheat, it tells you how many times your killed, i "died" like a hundred times on the last level.

Those fast monster things with the long arms I thought were the hardest to kill, especially if they were in groups. I found the best way was to either snipe them, or lure them one by one and give them a shotgun surprise. Knife also kills them pretty quick, but getting that close without dying is rare. I'm not exactly great with FPS (in fact, I'm terrrible) but I didn't mind FarCry's difficulty, possibly because I treated is more as a tactical FPS. I finished the game on medium.

Oh! The first time thru I had to put it on easy for the last 2 levels, #%$# it was still hard !!! Great story and ending ! I use to play it a lot, it got easier ..... got so I could take down a fatboy out in the open with a shotgun. Hmm loved that game !

Amazing visuals, great sniping, great weapons, you can drive buggies, humvees, motorboats, and in one level fly a glider, had the most real jungle ever until Crysis came out, Crytek made itself a name with Far Cry. Day levels, night levels, evening levels, morning levels, afternoon levels, it had levels for every time of day, 20+ hours long. there are patches. Levels are big, most of them non-linear

Farcry wasn't hard, it was unfair. I got the feeling like the game hated me for trying to play it. Plus the voice acting was laughably bad.

if you put tactical approach into it and save everytime you kill an enemy. the difficulty is bearable.

The game is wildly uneven, both in terms of difficulty and quality. When it gives you multiple paths and wide-open islands to explore, the game is one of the best examples of the genre. When you're getting attacked by mutant monkies in dark corridors, the game becomes tedious fast. It's not perfect--some aspects of the AI are kind of frustrating, the story is totally lame and the auto save is ridiculously bad, forcing you to use the console to save anywhere. However, it's still one of the top FPS games.

great game -- lengthy campaign ( possibly the longest fps i've ever played ) filled with smart enemies, open-ended environment and solid gunplay. and for some reason i don't really find it to be that difficult.

Really good game, enjoyed it but it is very hard. but if you can deal with being shot from miles away by a super accurate soldier you never knew was there then you will really get into it.

I think that pretty much sums up my take on the game.

I thought Far Cry was awesome, although some people don't like it. It is a pretty difficult game, even on easy, but if you play it with a tactical approach it's not that bad (this is NOT a run-and-gun game, so don't play it like Half-Life). Graphics were great for its time, and the story and voice acting/dialogue are extremely cheesey. Some people think that the Trigens (mutants) ruined the game, but I personally didn't mind them. If you can get past some of the initial frustration, then you will find a great PC FPS classic.

Farcry is my favorite FPS for singleplayer. There are some not so great levels in the campaign, but the good ones are the best levels in any singleplayer campaign that i've ever played. I don't really care about stories in the vast majority of games i play, so complaints about Farcry's story mean little to me.

Great, Great game....it tackled a more open-ended style of game-play as opposed to just being a linear shooter and the graphics were very impressive at the time of it's release and still hold up quite well today. As others have mentioned, it is a bit difficult and can get somewhat frustrating. The save system was a bit tough to deal with at times by not having a quick save that could be used at ant given point and the trigents were a bit over done in the game.....all in all i thought it had great weapons, beautiful environment, decent story(though it could get a bit cheesy) lots of vehicles and fantastic level design. I absolutely loved the CryVision and the sniper rifle. ........8)

I liked it until the mutants came to picture. After that it was pure hell. Especially the mission where you jump from a waterfall (hiding in a bush surrounded by mutants with no weapons is not fun).

Love Farcry.. granted I have used my fair share of cheats to complete te game...

Totally worth it.. the story is great and the ending is even better!

It's got a wicked demo you should check out before purchasing.

It's a decent game, which I think is massively overrated as it had many serious gameplay flaws, not the least of which was the insane difficulty, and the lack of purpose because of a crappy story.

I would have tolerated the high difficulty (which made me replay certain sections many times, due to the stupid checkpoint saving system) if I felt like I had a purpose. But I didn't. I was this random guy in a Hawaiian shirt on an island where all the bad guys, after detecting you with xray vision, would subsequently shout out "I got your ass" or "You're mine, brother" or "Did you hear something?".

Is it worth playing? You probably will enjoy it, so yes. Is it a classic? No, I don't think it deserves that title. Some of the reviews of the game have been seriously overrated - I'd say that people got too happy over the graphics.

I loved that, what a rush !!!

Also, when the female CIA girl drives you from one base to the next, has to be about the best 3-4 mins in gaming.

Far Cry is a very good game. The single player is longer than most single player FPS. The single player should take about 15 to 20 hours instead of 10 hours. The outdoor levels are the best. The AI is good outside, but indoors it gets a little cluttered.
