Far Cry

Far Cry

5 stars (What a game) - Great fun. If you have high speed internet, you will love the multiplayer gaming. I play it with Kinyo 5.1 surround headphones ($50) and an Audiology 2 zs soundcard.. Surround sound really makes the game fun. Heck, any FPS is way better with surround sound. You need a serious video card and at least 500M memory too. If you have all this, just get the game. You will find yourself coming back to it again and again, even after you have played newer games like Battlefield 2. And it's only to $20 now! HINT: you can turn down video settings to increase performance, but leave the "special effects" and "water effects" on medium. The special effects on low will not let you see the glint of a sniper, and water effects on low will not let you see people swimming under water. Evertything else can be cranked to low. It will improve your online response time. 5 stars (Stunning) - Combining superior graphics, an intelligent AI, challenging gameplay, and a variety of powerful and visceral weapons, Far Cry is one of the best FPS ever created. Be ready for a challenge- this is not an easy game, although it is not as hard as some make it out to be. I played through on medium difficulty without too much trouble. Also, make sure you have a very modern and updated system to play the game on, because it will skip constantly on slower systems. 4 stars (Fun gameplay, good eyecandy, but...) - the voice acting kills the atmosphere just about everytime it pops up. Over a year after the games come out, you still can't play the game at maximum settings. The physics are good, the weapons are well balanced, and the objectives are challenging. You don't have to kill everything that moves, and like in Thief, snaking is sometimes a REQUIRED order of the day. This was a great game to tied me over until Half-Life 2 came out, and even with the bad voice acting, it's still worth loading every now and then just to get beat up by the very good AI. ...

2 stars (Hahaha) - Ok the single player is great with sweet tropical island graphics and make your own tropical island in map editor which could have been way better. Ok get this , If your signed off when you make a map you cant share that map online ever not even when you sign on, you have to be signed on while making a map to share it with other people. The online play sux. Thats wear the gameplay goes down. Horrible servers with many stupid people on the game. finding a room without a stupid annoying trash talking person in it is like winning the lottery. Unfairness rules over this game so you constantly are running into people with duel guns and you only have one. If you get annoyed by snipeing stay far far away cause you will get a lot of that. Everytime you leave a room you have to resign in which takes a bit and gets annoying. If you want a game worthwhile trade in farcry for battlefield 2. Thats what i did. even though i only got 25 bucks for farcry when i paid 50 id rather get rid of that piece of junk. this game has very bad online support 5 stars (Great FPS from the allmighty unbisoft *bows*) - ok first of all im gunna take on of the guys cons and remake them "Unskippable 4+ minute trailer for the game everytime you go back to the main menu really makes you NOT want to play" First of all, WTF are you talking about? theres ONE Trailer for the intro thats like 15-30 seconds long and can be skipped over by pressing "A". Man, does your Xbox controller have an "A" button on it? if not.....man...your crazy "DREADFUL load times" Bahhh man jeez give it a break! of course load times ain't PERFECT BUT I KNOW THEY AIN'T "DREADFUL"!!!!! Man, it should take a while to load a game with a landscape this beautiful and god knows how many vehicles! P.S.*land-scape is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! . "Laughably unrealistic weapon damage on enemies (emptying an entire handgun clip into their chest at point blank range is...minorly annoying?" ok for one, its a handgun, for two, th...
