A Letdown (if you are a grown-up)

User Rating: 4.5 | Far Cry 3 PC

The good: Excellent graphics, efficient engine, no crashes (v. 1.01), oh and that chute. That's it!

The bad:
1. Tedious / irritating repetitive tasks (Antenna Towers)
2. Script seems written by a 15 year old (for 12 year olds)
3. English voice acting great EXCEPT MAIN CHARACTER who sounds like a 16 year old amateur actor in distress and is painful to listen to during the game.
4. A lot of cliche sections (collapsing caves + timers etc.) we've seen it all before and it makes for irritating and predictable gameplay (main storyline).
5. A lot of unnecessary acrobatics (think Lara Croft) and guided sections (press different keys at the exact moment) which add absolutely nothing to the game and are a pain.
6. All in all a disappointment, more like a revamped Far Cry 1 version (more irritating) and aimed squarely at the American teenage market. I was rather expecting a "nexus" version of Far Cry 2 which had real character as a game.
