Far Cry 3 is a classic shooter at its core, but there are various RPG mechanics, skills and upgrades under the hood. It’s a fabulous playing ground and one can but marvel at the wondrous ways the various elements interact with each other. [January 2013]

Exhilarating, colorful, mindless – that's Far Cry 3 in three words.

Tighter and more accessible than Far Cry 2, the third outing is a master class in open world shooting. [Feb 2013, p.59]

far cry 3 was my first open world game and it honestly didnt feel like anything else i had played before we were dropped in the middle of this massive island and we had those cool tattoos on our arm i think this game is basically the pioneer of that whole climb a tower to reveal the map then go clear out the enemy camp and take over the area formula everyone should definitely give it a try though right now the market is flooded with games exactly like this so it might not feel as impressive today but for its time it was seriously a legend

A new standard for the genre. With a huge world full of surprises you could define it as the Skyrim of action games.

It offers a very good story and vast freedom of action and lets you dispose of enemies in various, often sophisticated ways. But there's more – tropical islands with their intriguing mysteries, superb acting, crafting, additional challenges and broad possibilities of character development. This game is everything Far Cry 2 was supposed to be. [CD-Action 1/2013, p.38]

Far Cry 3 is one of the most interesting games of the year. The single-player mode is a great mix of a big sandbox and an atmospheric story with interesting characters. There are some mistakes here and there, but all in all everyone should be satisfied - sandbox lovers and fans of good storylines alike. What's more, the multiplayer isn't something added just because it needs to be - it's a great, big, rightful mode focused on cooperation (an additional co-op mini-campaign that borrows character progress from the standard multiplayer is a welcome bonus). Far Cry 3 is a package full of pleasant surprises. An insanely good game.

Far Cry 3 is an exceptional FPS with fun mechanics and excellent characterization. Unfortunately it wastes a fair number of opportunities offered by its huge open-world background. Plus, the secondary activities are not as fun as they could have been, and the island is too extensive to be interesting in the long run. Anyway, this game has surprised us.

Taking the best elements that made the two previous titles so successful, correcting some of their mistakes too, Far Cry 3 is clearly the blockbuster we were waiting for. Visually and artistically, the open-world is simply amazing. The different missions the main campaign consists of are all interesting as well, and the co-op aspects that are well-introduced. The multiplayer mode will entertain players for hours thanks to ingenious gameplay ideas.

If you prefer to be your own boss you should definitely visit this extraordinary island for some fun. Far Cry 3 is an amazing method for relaxation. [Christmas 2012]

The action is explosive, the direction of the story sequences is intense at times, but still I can't really feel at home on these islands. Far Cry 3 is the ultimate open sandbox: The player can do what he wants, where he wants it, when he wants it. But the credibility of the world suffers – and with it my motivation.

My first Far Cry game, and it completely hooked me. The story was surprisingly engaging, and the gameplay felt fresh since I hadn’t played anything like it before. I loved the freedom in how you approach everything stealth or chaos, both work and both are ****’s one of those games that makes you want to replay it just to experience it again.

Far cry 3 is a very good open world game with a great story. Although graphics are a bit outdated now it still feels great to play. In my playthrough i had some issues with crashes, ultimately leaving me to play the game on a different computer completely. This would be a real pain if i only had one computer. Be aware of this issue before purchasing since it for me started happening hours into the game whereas a refund would be unavailable. If your lucky enough to have a flawless playthrough you definitely wont regret it.

Kötü karakteri dışında hiçbir konuda abartıldığı kadar iyi değil. Bu oyundan zevk alabilmeyi çok istedim. Tekrardan oynayacağım.

Ну это чёто такое необъяснимое, вроде игра в моментах 8/10 в из-за экшоновости, музыки, системы ТС и оружия, в моментах хочеться её удалить и забыть как страшний сон, доп квесты я ваще молчу, смерти ГЗ происходят где то за кадром(в трипе), на своё время игра может и была довольно неплохой но сейчас выше 4 ставить просто нереально.
SummaryIn Far Cry 3, players assume the role of Jason Brody, a figure alone at the edge of the world, stranded on a mysterious tropical island. In this savage paradise where anarchy and violence are the only sure thing, players dictate how the story unfolds, from the battles they elect to fight to the allies or enemies they make along the way. ...
