"Even when Far Cry 3's story eventually falls short of its promising start, you won't have as much fun hunting tigers, crashing hang gliders, and stabbing pirates in any other game."

Should have used the rubber

Don’t know the best place to begin, so I’ll just start into it. Far Cry 3 is a shooter… specifically a good feeling shooter. The movement and combat feels natural – meaning my character pretty much do… Read more

Great fun!

I never played Far Cry up until the third game and I'm starting to regret that decision. This game was amazingly fun and kept me entertained for hours. The story was a little annoying at times but the… Read more

Surprisingly good, but it's ultimately a just another FPS with open world elements

I very rarely play first-person shooters, so it's safe the say that Far Cry 3 succeeded from the get-go when it seemed compelling enough for me to buy it. It looks beautiful and plays very solidly, bu… Read more

They Got It So Right

Far Cry has been a series that always seemed like a series that is prepared to be excellent but odd decisions and ideas ruined the concept. The original was silly. The sequel was a chore to play due t… Read more

Lives up to the hype

Once in a while a game comes along that takes over your life. You cant stop thinking about it when you stop playing it, and when you are playing, you are amazed at what you are able to do/happening on… Read more

Far Cry 3 review

Far Cry 3 combines elements of open-world games like Skyrim and Ubisoft's own Assassin's Creed with the first-person shooting of Crytek's original entry in the series. In between scripted story missio… Read more

Far Cry 3: An Open World Experience Unlike Anything Else

Far Cry 3 is a game that wasn't really on my radar. I had played the first two games and found them to be really ambitious but that ambition, i felt, came at the expense of the gameplay. This is not t… Read more

'Did I ever tell you the definition of 'Insanity'?'.

'Did I ever tell you the definition of 'Insanity'?'. Insanity seems to be a running theme in Far Cry 3, which frequently pays homage to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, which is fitting as the gam… Read more

A Vacation Cut Short

I had no frame of reference for what to expect from Far Cry 3, having never played the previous entries in the franchise. Like several series that were off my radar before it, the hype surrounding Far… Read more

Best 2012 Game of 2013?

I think the guys have said that this particular category in their awards discussion might go away, but BOY-HOWDY does Far Cry 3 ever foot the bill. The first few hours felt a bit on-rails to me and I… Read more

Did I Ever Tell You About My Review of Far Cry 3?

Some game franchises have a steady supply of good games before finally having a breakout hit. A game which stands up and demands people pay attention to it outside of its immediate fan base. This can… Read more

Great game with a few caveats

Far Cry 3, while it may not be as ambitious as Far Cry 2, but it’s just a better game. In so many different ways from the shooting to the art direction it improves on the neat ideas Far Cry 2 had and… Read more

Great First Half, Repetitive Second half

For everything that Far Cry 2 seems to do great, there is an opposite coin of where it seems to drag on. Moments of it seem brilliant while other parts seem down right boring and repetitive. On the wh… Read more

Far Cry 3

Far Cry 3 is an open world First-Person Shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal. This is the second Far Cry game they’ve developed in the series and looks to be the best. Its set on an uncharted island,… Read more

Fun Wins Out Over Realism

The game designers deserve some kind of medal for this game. Its just fun from beginning to end. This is the rare game that I will play for 20+ hours. Then I will almost immediately miss the gameplay… Read more

Far Cry 3 Review: The Definition of Insanity

Far Cry is a series that I have never been interested in. It seemed like a more pedestrian version of Crysis, and I have never been interested in Crysis either, so Far Cry was certainly far from my at… Read more

This is the best thing since Skyrim

By now you've probably heard an awful lot about Far Cry 3, but I should go ahead and qualify this review: I never, ever, ever write user reviews, but sitting there in my basement listening to the elec… Read more

Wonderful Surprise!

I am obviously not a professional reviewer and I tend to review things like how I would talk to a person, not as if I were writing an article. So I had to be talked into playing Farcry 3. I spent 3 ho… Read more

Another big, dumb sandbox game lauded for stale design.

I will preface this by saying that I am one of the few that seems to have given Far Cry 2 enough of a chance to figure out why that game was great. It is probably one of my favorite games ever made fo… Read more

Great on gameplay, poor on story

The Far Cry series has come a long way since Jack Carver found himself trapped on a island with terrifying, Dr, Moreau-style beasts. After taking the franchise away from Crytek, Ubisoft Montreal pulle… Read more

Really good - but falls shy of greatness

(Spoilers are present in this review - not that you should play this game for story) Far Cry has always been a series whose entries have had grand ideas but have fallen short of what they could delive… Read more

Game of the Year 2012.

Oh Far Cry , we've come a long way. What started off as a promising pc franchise is 2004 has since turned into a console affair. While early iterations such as Far Cry: Instincts and Far Cry: Instinct… Read more

What Far Cry 2 should have been

I hated Far Cry 2. I mean, I really hated it. It was one of my most hated games of the decade. It had virtually no story, incredibly bad voice acting, lousy shooting mechanics and frustrating "feature… Read more

What a surprise.

Okay, I admit it. I went into this one with a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. It surprised the !@#$ out of me. The storyline is amazing, the FPS (Frames per Second) is smooth, and crisp (most of the… Read more

A List of Everything Wrong with Far Cry 3

* Fall damage is pretty punishing. This is somewhat offset by your ability to slide down hills without taking damage, but you still might find yourself cratering more often than you would like. * Ther… Read more
