While this collection of games is still pretty fun to play, is just so sloppily put together, and unimproved. It includes a remake of a game from just one year ago with a few minor improvements, and the sequel which is extremely short and not as polished as the first.
This game is still fun to play, the Instincts story is still awesome, but it was from only a year ago. This is the basic gameplay of Far Cry; you get loads of guns and vehicles and an enviornment that enable you to play multiple ways, and the gameplay also gets mixed up thanks to superhuman powers "given" to you. While the Instincts story keeps all of this, the Evolution story lacks the "...enviornment that enable you to play multiple ways," which is extremely disappointing. The Evolution story adds a few new weapons and a few new vehicles to play around with, but no new feral powers at all, and the new weapons are not very good. The Evolution story still has the basic elements of the series to make it pretty fun to play, but the Instincts one is the main reason to buy the package.
The graphics definatley do not look next-gen in the Instincts story, but the Evolution story offers improved models. The water effects look simply amazing and there's some neat blur effects when you try to aim but, again, nothing special nor too next-gen.
The sound is pretty standard. You still have some pretty good voice-overs for some pretty bad dialogue. The music also sounds kind of weird, but the general sound effects are still good, but nothing too special.
The Instincts story is worth playing through again, but its possible to get sick of the same thing that you played less than a year ago in the process, but new-comers to the series might love it. The Evolution story is not as good, but is worth playing.
I loved Far Cry: Instincts (the original), and the PC Far Cry. But half this game is recycled, and the other half is just not as good, so I beg Ubi, please put more effort into the next Far Cry.
