Far Cry 3 Review

Far Cry 3 review

First person shooters we all have played at least one of them and know the most oversold game of the decade is one but rejoice people Far Cry 3 is a breath of fresh air to this old crusading gender.

(Don't mind him he just discovered Angry Birds Space)

Far Cry 3 exceeds at what a game should do best and that is having stupid ridiculous fun. From diving out of an airplane and spreading my weasel suit to get to the outpost of another island to hunting down a tiger or a bear with an explosive arrow.

Ubisoft have managed to somehow make what on paper sounded like one of the worst ideas in history to memorable moments. One of those examples is the intro, the first ever mission with the flamethrower, the introduction to Vas and of course the moments when your character over exceeds in the realm of hallucinogen's. 

(First Blood ...)

The game mechanics and physics engine deliver an extraordinary view of the jungle, wildlife and water especially but the texture of the ground fall slightly short and once you hit the ocean even the waters textures seem to fade slightly but truthfully i didn't pay attention to any of the details until the very end of the game when i fell imminently to my doom from a glider due to my own stupidity."

(You on a boat? No problem let me show you my little friend)

So for all it's worth this game is awesome and it's one of my favourite games of this year, and to be honest the pure insanity moments of this game make up for the lack of story and some of the more none believable moments.(aka giants, human torches) Another of the most defining feature is the crafting system that is simple and useful to make you aware of how easy it is for you to survive more efficiently if you have more bullets in your backpack or how many things you can buy when you have more money in your wallet.

(Get a Tattoo they said, it won't show they said ... )

The only two problems that i have with the game are with some of the mechanics and the fact that there is far to less Vas ( the villain in front cover).

(And The Black Eye'd Peas Are now complete)

Now out of the two problems I have one is insane for the simple fact that there will be times in the game when you will be on fire, nearing death ever so slowly and some pirates will shoot at you and all of a sudden a wild tiger appears and you analyse the situation and you press hold on the heal button and you die because you are putting out the fire that has been burning your flesh, then you try to evade the bullets which is insanity in itself and finally the trigger kills you while you were trying to heal your wounds.

(Damn Will I Am from this angle you look like Blade)

Let me just say that this has been for me the sleeper hit of the year 2012, and hope that I could shed some light for those of you that have a sour taste for anything that is branded Ubisoft, because this game does deserve to not suffer for the mistakes of Assassins Creed 3.

Score: 9.0

PLUS:
+ overall fun game experience
+ memorable moments
+ beautiful surroundings
+ bow that fires grenade arrows
+ enough side quests to keep you coming back for more
+ multiplayer with a story

MINUS:
- some of the game mechanics
- npc's that repeat themselves
- the lack of story
- the short living of Vas
