Breath of fresh air. Virtually, on a breath-taking island, and from the traditional FPS way of life.

User Rating: 9.7 | Far Cry PC
Far Cry is without a doupt, one of the most graphically advanced game today. The environment, water, character details simply blew me away. The lighting effects are extremely realistic, much like Doom 3's. The gameplay is as good as it gets. It's got an immersive storyline, superb AI, all sorts of vehicles & weapons, and its pretty fun too. I love the massive environments. You're free to do, pretty much anything you desire. There are millions of ways to get to your objective. The game really gives the player a lot of freedom, and that kind of thing is pretty rare in shooters these days. Another factor that sets Far Cry apart from the other shooters is the pace. While most games are high-crunk fast-paced adrenaline rushes, Far Cry takes the slower, more thoughtful and MUCH more engaging route, where you're forced to use your stealth, brains and cover under the fantastically detailed foilage to survive. Forget running and gunning. It's out of the question.This is no commando game. This is the silent assassins jungle, so you better think and act like one if you plan on getting anywhere with Far Cry.

Far Cry isn't just one of the best shooter games, but it's one of the best games ever made.
