Far Cry

The multiplayer modes and incredibly powerfully map editor put Far Cry over the top. As great as the graphics are, they're merely a complement to the dynamic gameplay.

Overall, Crytek has done a nearly flawless job in crafting the single player campaign. The combat is extremely fun and exciting, as well as addicting. The level design is fantastic, and the pacing is never too slow.

I love the fact that someone has finally made a game that can look truly good and take advantage of higher-end PC hardware instead of going for less detail in order to allow more people with slower PCs to run the game.

It delivers on all fronts: graphics, story, and especially gameplay. The only downside is that those with lower end machines are going to have to drop their graphics and resolution down quite a bit to achieve an acceptable frame rate.

If players can ignore the overly cheesy plot and horrid voice acting, and focus simply on killing bad guys and blowing things up amidst a wonderfully crafted environment then they will be in for a treat. The first person shooter has never looked so good.

Forget about the delayed FPS juggernauts of "Half-Life 2" and "Doom3," and spend your hard earned dinero on a game that is as spectacularly beautiful and brilliantly executed as any FPS ever.

Let me make this clear, through capitalization: ANY GAME THAT DOES NOT SAVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU KILL A BOSS AND SEE THE ENSUING CUTSCENE HAS A BROKEN SAVE-GAME SYSTEM. I don’t care if it’s supposed to make the game more intense, it’s stupid, moronic, ridiculous, pointless and otherwise detrimental to the overall quality of the game.

I recently played Far Cry 1 and I can say that the game is truly impressive, especially considering that it was released back in 2004. The atmosphere of a tropical island is conveyed perfectly, and the sounds of the environment add to the realism.However, there are a few drawbacks. For example, sometimes enemies shoot through cover, even when you are hiding in a tent, and they can see you from a distance, so the stealth mode hardly works. At first, the plot seems confusing, but everything becomes clear over time.Despite this, Far Cry 1 leaves a very pleasant impression. It is a game that is still interesting to play even now.Translated with **** (free version)

Really fun, but the enemy AI (practically Aimbot) and certain level design flattens the mood a bit. I wish there was a bit more reward for straying off the linear path, and a bit less empty spaces that are only meant for vehicles. I beat this twice, once on the hardest difficulty and it was definitely an experience

Far cry so hard and 1.4 patch is TRASH UBİSOFT **** YOU ALL THİS GAME İS SO HARD WHY it's not worth it if you want to protect your mental health edit: I finished the game and I finished it in 8 days what kind of game is this DAMN MAN THIS GAME STOLE MY LIFE

Сюжет про чувака на бессмысленных побегушках. Музыка никакая. Графика приятная. Слишком большая сложность. Игра слишком продолжительна.

Unfortunately the steam version ships with the infamous 1.4 patch which breaks the A.I making them much harder than they originally was; and this game is pretty hard compared to newer Far Cry games and this makes the game alot less fun and makes stealth nearly impossible, heck it makes certain sections of the game nearly impossible since the A.I can shoot at you with high accuracy at long distances, even through walls with high accuracy too. In order to play the game without the AI super soldiers, you need the unofficial patchs or somehow downgrade to patch 1.3 Now, I remember playing this back in 2004 and thought it was originally a good game, because back then- Far Cry WAS a good game, but the standards have risen considerably over the years and this game shows cleary how low gamers standards was back then. Far Cry suffers from a huge amount of general issues which makes the game generally much harder than it really needs to be, such as troop placement being so specific to catch the player out, each mission as such is more about remembering where enemy mercs are; rather than planning a strategic attack- think of MOH; Sniper Alley style gameplay here, its frustrating and needless. Then to add further insult to injury, you have to put up with Carver being a complete tool in the gun accuracy department, his accuracy with weapons is excruciating bad, whilst the mercs have near perfect accuracy, this is why there are liberally scattered health packs and armor around because its nearly impossible not to take hits. The accuracy is poor, imagine an artifical spray and pray - the gun cursor is just a 'basic' indicator where the bullets will go, not nessarily where you are pointing. The gun sights offer slightly better accuracy but still, not good enough considering the accuracy of the mercs and traps. Even with some much needed mods like FCam; the game is still a huge chore to play and saving after every encounter with mercs is essential- forget using stealth **** you want working stealth, install Far Cry 2 and skip this. As for the difficulty, there is honestly very little difference between easy and realistic difficultly - thats how hard this game is; realistic mode is just mostly for masochists who enjoy dying alot, or who have played the game so much they have remembered the exact layout of the merc placements.
