Thinking of getting a FPS and was wondering what everyone thought of Far Cry.

Mainly single player but also multiplayer.

It was the first Xbox 360 game I owned.  It's alright, but nothing good really.  The best thing about the game?  The water effects.  Everything else was pretty much recycled from the Xbox version.

The controls are awful. It makes a chore out of actually aiming your crosshairs at someone, and that ruined the game for me. I'd stay away from it. The PC version is good though, if you can run it

I bought it a while ago, and I loved it. Its not that different than the Xbox FarCry though, so you could just pick up the original FarCry Instincts for a lot less and get pretty much the same experience.

I have it, it was fun while it lasted (like 20 hours or so for both games)... but the achievements are really hard to get and i doubt anyone would want to play the game thru a second time.

Personally I love Far Cry Instincts Predator. The map editor is awesome and I love both of the single player campaigns. Predator is my favorite multiplayer mode in the game.

Wow i'm surprised at all the hate towards this game. I bought it and played all the way to the very end. I enjoyed it the whole way.

I got it as the third game on my 360, and I was expecting to be blown away by the "next-gen" graphics.....needless to say, the graphics were underwhelming.

It's a very fun game, played through both campaigns and didn't get bored the whole time. I thought the graphics were awesome, which most people seem to hate.  It was frustrating at times but rewarding too.  there's a few fun vehicles to drive around also. Both campaigns take around 15-16 hours to complete total.

the multiplayer i had a blast with for about an hour and then things got repetitive.  i'de say rent it like I did and save some money

If you HAVE NOT played the original Xbox version I would say at least rent it. It's one of my favorite games for the original Xbox. The 4 player Multi is really fun and it has some good games modes, online is kind of like F.E.A.R.

Just so you know, all they did for the 360 version was make some slightly higher poly models and up the resolution on some textures. It's really just a remastered port of the Xbox versions of the game.

even if you think of it as a straight port of an original xbox game, (which it pretty much is) you still probably won't like it.Â
