Disappointment in Ubisoft. I have many games, Brothers In Arms series, Myst series, both absolutety five stars out of five for these games. So, I know that Ubisoft CAN make good games. It is too bad they did not with Far Cry 3. So many bad points for the Single player Campaign. 1. Any game that takes control of the game so that the player can do nothing is so wrong. Worse, turns into a pinball game where you press an unknown sequence of keys on command displayed on the screen. This is not a video game. At one point you have to listen to a long winded speech by one of the villains, then the sequence starts. If you do not press the right key, or fast enough, or too fast, or too often, or not often enough.... You have to listen to the stupiod speech all over again. 2. Whomever is the idiot that put in the bow and arrow in this game is an absolute idiot. It goes about 20 feet before dropping to the ground. My toy bow and arrow I had as a kid went farther than that! Idiot ! 3. Story is very good. Too bad I quit before finishing it, as I cannot muster the patience to go through yet another one of the fake sequences. This last one, you fight a giant by shooting the face mask he is wearing. Problem, you are using the bow and arrow with a an effective range of ten feet !!!! Then you get attacked by other creatures in absolute darkness. 4. Another scripted conflict. You walk into a building with a sniper rifle, machine guns, grenades etc... You end up fighting with a knife, but the normal commands don't work! You again have to play pinball wizard and press specific keys in sequence. If you get one key wrong, start all over again. Again, this is a pinball game, not a FPS !!!! 5. Open map concept. Very good. I like that. Fallout series did a better job of it though. 6. Other weapons are good, variety and attachments available for some of them. Good enough selection to play in my style of fighting. Taking them away though so many times is stupid. 7. What kind of idiot does some of the things that the player is scripted, forced to do. Like opening a door of a vehicle and NOT stepping back to let the person or persons in the vehicles get out. Allowing villain to knock out player and AGAIN watch the stupid video time. 8. No way I am even going to try Multi-player. Come on Ubisoft, I KNOW you could have done better.
