Don't get me wrong, this is the best Far Cry ever released. This is still a classic game that has a place in my heart right next to DOOM, Quake, Half Life, and other classic games. But Steam sells a broken version of the game. If you want this game to work, you need to spend hours and hours browsing forgetten forums from 2006 to find "fixes" for this version, but the reality is that it will only work on 64 bit systems with extreme maintanence and will probably never work flawlessly on Windows 10.Show moreShow less

Don't buy this. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The version on steam is the last official patch. This is notorious for being a broken version of the game, where the AI shoots through obstacles and has infinite range so there's little to no sneaking in this one. I was like a quarter of the way through the game when I learned about this, because apparently Ubisoft or whoever is in charge of the version number on this release is too lazy to just... Roll back to the second to last version for the official release. The reason you shouldn't buy this game is because it's supporting a terrible practice of being so incredibly lazy that you make the players patch your non-functioning game. It is almost impossible to complete this game on the official steam release.Show moreShow less

A decent game from more than a decade ago. But it may not be the game for you considering how long my con list is. Pros: 1.) The environment is nice and it's fun to explore around. 2.) There's a good amount of weaponry, ranging from a Desert Eagle to a rare and powerful automatic shotgun, the Pancor Jackhammer. If you favor stealth, pick a silenced MP5 and remain hidden. 3.) There aren't that many vehicles but it's forgivable if you can drive something that fires rockets and wrecks entire campsites. 4.) The A.I. enemies are impressive to fight against. Some operate like a squad and they tend to "think" (or pick stealth) more before assaulting your position. 5.) In my opinion, Far Cry offers outstanding music. It builds up and increases tension which is appropriate when you're exposed to assailants. 6.) Graphics are nice, considering this game is over 10 years old. However, there are problems that Far Cry has. Cons: 1.) Multiplayer is dead! There should be an update that states this in the store page. Link: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2092407 Don't waste your time in registering for any site to get multiplayer. It has died long ago. 2.) Despite what some people said, a good portion of the campaign is linear, most notably the "indoor" parts. Also, the game doesn't do a good job in providing players with a diverse amount of alternative pathways to take. It usually only gives 2 avaliable walkways to complete the same objective and I do not find that acceptable. 3.) There's some sort of A.I. bug in which the mercenaries can shoot at you accurately behind walls when you're in their bunkers. EDIT: Stealth is also broken in this game. The human enemies can "see" you at certain points, even when they should not have. This prohibits the ability to sneak around them and often, you have to fight them head-on. 4.) While I do not mind, a good amount of the Far Cry community despises the introduction of the "Trigens". In a way, I do agree with them because after you encounter them, the game becomes too different. 5.) I was going to complain about the bland plot but the voice acting is far worse. The main character, Jack Carver, has a pretty bad voice actor and his lines are cliche'd. 6.) Some sections of the game are notoriously hard, though not impossible to beat, even on easy. It would be understandable if you die almost immediately by rushing recklessly on the hardest difficulty but on easy is just overkill. The last level was hard but the worst part for me was fighting Crowe, the leader of the mercs, on a sinking boat while facing a helicopter. You only have a couple of minutes of destroy the aerial vehicle (as you cannot use a firearm when swimming), there's no supplies, and Crowe has good accuracy and he inflicts massive damage with his M249. 7.) The worst thing Far Cry has is the "auto-save" and it lacks the ability for players to save manually whenever they want to. I heard that there is a console command as compensation but for those who don't know, they will have endless times of reloading an earlier save and you may even get stuck in a loop where you continuously perish. Summary: In all, I did enjoy the game after adjusting myself and giving it a 2nd try. However, $9.99 is too much as multiplayer and customization is dead so please get the game when it's at a discount if you're still interested. On the bright side, Far Cry does have more balls than its successors when it comes to difficulty.Show moreShow less
