My opinion Fear has one of the best AI i have seen so far, however RainBow Six Vegas have some really smart AI too. I never got to enjoy FarCry as my brother has, so I can't say anything about FC.
I will say though, from my experience I will go with Fear.
i thought that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. soc had the best ai were the animals were smart and surrounded you and if you atacked a lone mutant dog it would go get others.
FEAR was great.The enemy would actually pull out closets and knock over boxes etc. to dodge you.And they actually sounded like they were real,saying real things.Not "Die!",but they might say "He's trying to flank!" or "Flashlight!" etc.
FPS? Unreal Tournament 2004 I'd say. Name another game where you can mix bots and players and barely, if at all, be able to tell the difference? Not many I'll bet! I believe Penny Arcade even did a comic about how freakisly good the AI in UT2k4 is.
Overall though? Galactic Civilizations 2. Pretty much the only strategy game AI where I've ever felt like I was playing against genuine opponents who reacted to my actions and advanced in a realistic way. I was amazed the first time I went to war with a civ and later found out they were redesigning their fleet to specifically counter my own after placing a few spies in my empire to discover what weapons technology I was advancing. Seriously, it's that good, and it never feels like its cheating like most strategy game AI's tend to.
Halo has good AI but when Star Wars: The Force Unleashed comes out it will have the best, those videos of the storm troopers are absolutely amazing, I cannt wait for that game.

Storm troopers can't have amazing AI though, then they wouldn't be storm troopers.

Man everyones picking FPS, so I`ll go with Forza and PGR3. Both of these racing games have the best AI drivers around. The AI drivers in these games will do everything to you and act like they want to also win the race, just as bad as you do.

My problem with the Forza 2 AI (and maybe you were referencing the first installment, in which case this post has no point) is that it does not lift at all in a corner, or else it has just crappy reflexes. The AI consistently runs you over heading into a corner, even when you are leading going into the corner and have the inside line, and apparently with complete disregard for the potential damage to their car. Outside of the AI's ability to make decisions to avoid a collision, I think it is pretty good, too, though.
GTR2 - if we're talking about life-like AI then this game is king. When you set the racing AI to "clean" all the cars will be 'aware' of you on the track and if you pass them, they will avoid ramming into you (exactly what must happen in real life if you don't want to get a black flag ;) ). There have been so many games where it's like the cars completely ignore you or don't even know that your in front of them. On the other hand if you set the AI to a more aggressive setting, the drivers will still be aware of you if they're behind you and will not 'attack' you in a corner but they will do everything to get past you without damaging their own cars.
Halo 3s A.I. is beginning to impress me alot. They jump from nades, even slow projectile bullets (enemies in vehicles will dodge slow projectiles like rockets). They recognize when you're hiding in a corner for cover and will bark commands like "I'm going in." ect. When a brute is killed the other A.I. will loose confidence and start fleeing. Random physics-based objects that have been tossed around are used for cover. If you charge at them with a bunch of allies they will retreat to cover when they're overwhelmed. When their armour is removed they will act more cautiously. They seem to be able to recognize the weapons you have and will act accordingly. If you charge at them with the gravity hammer they will say things like "Where'd he get a hammer?" or "Who lost their hammer." and back up while keeping you at range. Not to mention how effectivly they use bubble shields and power drainers.
