On release, Far Cry seemed like a masterstroke of first-person shooting to me. In the years since, HL2 and BioShock have rendered everything else in the genre absolutely irrelevant, but I still enjoy blasting through the first few hours of Far Cry more than most other shooters. An eight seemed harsh initially, but in retrospect it's probably about right, if only for the ridiculous Trigens. On a good day, though, I'd suggest it deserves the extra mark for being just like LOST. ;)

I've always wanted to review this game but never did (and probably never will) because I love so much and hate so much about the game that I don't know where to begin. It would probably turn out to be 20k.

Uh... except Lost actually has a good plot?

Lost has a plot at all? I thought the entire plot was that crazy people were crazy. Go figure.

Thanks for your comments, Wolfqueen, and for spotting those typos. This was the first review I wrote on my new laptop, and I made a number of mistakes while adjusting to the smaller keyboard. I thought I'd caught them all, but obviously I was mistaken.

I'd have been much more harsh, I loved the first 1/3 of Far Cry but just had to stop playing two or three chapters into the monkey part.
Oh no, it's a Goomba! |

To be honest I expected a bash review. It was a good read, but from the first moment I started reading, I remembered how much I hate Farcry with it's AI. You see, they can shoot you from a mile away, through the sodding forest, straight in your bloody face each and every time. I swear, I think all of those mercenaries, every single one has the potential for being the best marksman on the face of the planet.

That's an interesting comment, DE, because I definitely didn't have that problem. I agree that those mercenaries had no trouble finding me, but even once I was spotted, very few of their shots (at least from a distance) landed. That was actually my reassurance that even if I was spotted, I wasn't dead yet. So as I said, interesting.

The 360 version is a better version of the Xbox game I think. You get a few neat abilities (called feral powers or something, you can mutate into monsters) but the game is much smaller since the original Xbox couldn't handle the giant levels. I think it's also easier.
