Far Cry 3 is a huge success. It looks absolutely stunning. Exploring the Far Cry 3's in-game island is fun. The game feels alive, especially when you see predator animals acting realistically. They can attack you and your enemies. And what's more impressive, is that it's different from It's predecessor, in a good way. In Far Cry 3 there's a lot of good changes from It's predecessor. In this game, you can hunt different types of animals and when you kill them, you can skin them, to craft different stuff. And you can collect different types of plants, to craft medicine and syringes. Far Cry 3 is more balanced in stealth than It's predecessor. You can takedown an enemy with a knife while you are undetected (you can also takedown an enemy while you're detected, but it can be hard) . There's even distinct changes in combat. Guns in this game have more accuracy than the guns of It's predecessor, so you can kill enemies easier. You can customize any gun you carry. For every mission that you complete, you earn skill point, and with skill points, you can learn skills.
The multiplayer is fun and the co-op, while more linear than singleplayer, it still challenging and fun playing with three friends cooperating with you. The AI is dramatically improved, because now they can cover and act more logically.

The story is great, but not excellent. That's because of the endings. Yes, this game has two endings, which are good, but can let you confused. However, the story is interesting, and the characters of the game have realistic personalities. The main character is Jason Brody. I'm not gonna spoil you anything, because the starting of the game is interesting. And the villain of the game, Vaas, is an awesome character. He's probably the best video game villain of 2012

The graphics look visually stunning, and, unlike It's predecessor, has some great cinematic cutscenes. What's disappointing is that It has lost a bit of destructibility, but that's a really small point. It has some glitches and bugs, which are rare, but sometimes they are annoying. However, that doesn't brake the beautiful experience of Far Cry 3.

The voice acting is terrific, the sound design is superb, the soundtrack is great... There's no problem with all the aspects of the sound.

While Far Cry 3 has a few bugs and glitches, and while the endings are confusing, those two problems can't ruin the fun experience of Far Cry 3 with an improved and fun gameplay, great visuals and with a great story that will let you interesting 'till the end of the game. Get Far Cry 3, I recommend it to all shooter fans out there.
