FAR CRY: Intelligent Shooter?

by theuerkorn Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 03 '04
Pros: AI, graphics, huge areas, challenging missions, medium system requirements
Cons: limited game save options, somewhat complicated controls
Now honestly, something just doesn't sound right when combining the words 'intelligent' and 'shooter'. No offense, but pretty much all shooters are more or less single minded. So is Far Cry different? Developer Crytek and publisher UbiSoft seem to ...

Introducing the next generation of 3d-shooters.

by t13monkeys Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 20 '04
Pros: next-gen gfx engine, improved AI, less linearity, solid gameplay
Cons: lots of cliche, unbalanced multiplayer, be invisible in the bush.
I’m glad Far Cry came out. Because unlike Doom III or Half Life 2, this game actually came out on time, and is without a doubt the first of a new line of next generation shooters. For that fact alone, I think it is a must own. So despite the slap ...

Far Cry stands above the rest

by phungus, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Oct 20 '04
Pros: Great graphics and sound, huge maps, lots of fun
Cons: Really difficult
Far Cry has got to be one of the best first person shooters I’ve played since Unreal Tournament. I had a chance to play Doom III for about half an hour and was not impressed. I thought the whole flashlight thing was pretty lame. What I really love ...

This is why single player will live on

by donut_man23 , Feb 11 '06
Pros: Fantasic single player, high production values, tons of variety
Cons: Poor multiplayer
I've heard people complaining that no one innovates anymore and that singleplayer gaming is dieing (on the PC anyway). But this game disproves both those statements. Its incredibly deep and thorough with a lot of variety and fun things to choose from. ...

Arguably the best shooter ever made

by monsieurb54 , Nov 09 '06
Pros: massive playing world, beautiful graphics, amazingly fun vehicle use, awesome shootouts, hilarious guard one-liners
Cons: the trigens are possibly the most burdensome FPS enemy ever created
I recently picked this game up because the laptop I had purchased for college was finally a computer powerful enough to run it. It is easily one of the best computer games I've ever played. The playing world is massive (you can literally walk to any ...

Far Cry: You wont believe your eyes.

by mickp Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 02 '04
Pros: Stunning graphics, great AI, wonderful level design, realistic physics. Believable world.
Cons: Poor story and voice acting. some physics inconsistencies. It's just an action shooter.
I have so many mixed feelings about Far Cry that I am not sure where to start. There is a lot of “good” and a bit of “bad”, but definitely no“ugly” as this is one of the most beautiful games, nay, the most beautiful ...

Paradise Lost

by byonder , Mar 31 '04
Pros: Eye-boggling graphics
Cons: Doesn’t ship with an in-game save feature. Some really cheap enemies.
As far as graphics go, Far Cry is the new standard. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and there’s nothing currently that can compare with it. Even when compared with Doom 3 and Half Life 2 I think Far Cry will be able to stand up to them in terms of ...

Far Cry: Cry for the beauty.

by max-payne , Jan 14 '05
Pros: Great graphics, realistic AI, sounds are just right, voice acting, decent plot.
Cons: Read graphics note, linear plot, incredible accuracy, save points.
Ah, the game that took me so long to start playing, and finally I have. I must say the game is very good and deserves one of the top ten games of the year it came out. My recap great game with some bugs and issues, any notes I have I put a * in ...

(far)Cry for your old pc and get ready to fire up the future!

by soadfan1 , Apr 17 '04
Pros: Excellent graphics, gameplay, Singleplayer, physics, ai, weapons. The list goes on!
Cons: Very demanding on your pc, sometimes frustrating Checkpoint saves, Slightly Lacking Multiplayer.
INTRO: Theres an old saying in the gaming world, thats its game play that counts not graphics, and for the most part its been true. Whats been more fun over the years then Tetris, or pong or Arkanoids? The question was 'could a game have both?' ...

Beautiful game. Much too difficult in spots, especially the end

by dcobb101 , Apr 11 '06
Pros: Nicely done lush forests & water. Beautiful landscaping. Nice stealthy feel
Cons: Too difficult in spots, even on easier difficulty settings. End level is impossible
So I finally upgraded my machine so that I could play this and other games of this newer genre. After installing this game and beginning to play I was astonished at the graphical detail and taken with the lush green forests, beaches, water, just the ...

The Silent Killer Of 2004

by tmc2000 , Sep 07 '04
Pros: Incredible graphics especially the water, great A.I., 20 or so huge levels
Cons: Not too much depth in gameplay
When I say "big shooters of 2004", Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 will most likely immediately spring to mind. Maybe another 1 or 2 as well. Of course Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 will pop up, because everyone has been talking about them and everyone knows about them. ...

How can such a good game be crippled so badly?

by shenanigan87 , Sep 10 '06
Pros: Great graphics, huge, stunning maps to explore without boundaries, nice weapons
Cons: Can't save, often too difficult and frustrating over time, gameplay still linear
FarCry has been widely praised by game magazines for its beautiful graphics and non-linear gameplay, and I have to agree. The game offers something that most first person shooters can’t provide, as most of their shooting takes place in enclosed ...

Mind boggling visuals and game play to match

by section , Apr 02 '04
Pros: BREATH TAKING visuals
Solid game play
Excellent AI
Both stealth and rampage attack tactics.
Cons: Can tax even the fastest systems
Supersonic, crazy attack monkeys
No quicksave
no co-op multiplayer
I couldn't avoid the buzz about this game at work so I had to try it out. I knew that the game requirements were pretty steep but I wasn't overly concerned since I have a P4 3.2, 2GB mem, and an NVidia TI-4600. Well I stand corrected. SYSTEM ...

Beats Doom 3 and awaits HL2 challenge.

by foxwithrabies , Oct 18 '04
Pros: Outdoor, Graphics, Gameplay, Enemy AI, Freedom, Weapons, LIGHT!!! Design, pretty much all's good
Cons: Sound (2 speakers) Val's AI. (shudder)
Beat the game in a week or so, maybe 2, average 3 hours a day (minus weekends), probably a good 30 hours in there. It normally doesn't take me long to finish a FPS (Doom 3 in 19 hours), but this game is BIG. And being stupid, I forgot you could jack ...

A solid shooter thats sets the bar for all future releases.

by garethvk , Apr 18 '04
Pros: Solid Graphics and action.
Cons: High system requirements, long load times.
With the pending release of some highly anticipated 3D shooters, gamers are about to enjoy a gaming renaissance that has not been seen since Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament divided gamers over which set the new standard for all others to follow. ...
