About Far Cry®
Stranded on a tropical island after your boat is destroyed, you must fight your way through an army of mercenaries using long-range gunplay, stealth, and cunning tactics across stunning environments filled with intelligent AI enemies. Far Cry revolutionizes action gaming with its groundbreaking engine, 800-meter scalable view system, and unpredictable combat encounters that demand constant adaptation and strategic thinking.
Freelance mariner Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago, a brash female reporter named Valerie had offered him an incredible sum of cash to take her to this unspoiled paradise. Shortly after docking, however, Jack's boat was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming about the island.
With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and the gorgeous Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island, with nothing but a gun and his wits to survive. But the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become.
Jack encounters an insider within the militia group who reveals the horrific details of the mercenaries' true intentions. He presents Jack with an unsettling choice: battle the deadliest mercenaries, or condemn the human race to a maniac's insidious agenda.

Players are divided on this game, with some praising its atmospheric World War 2 setting, engaging AI mechanics, and nostalgic gameplay that rewards skillful play, while others find it frustratingly difficult and poorly designed. The consensus seems to be that it's a solid classic experience with strong atmosphere and mechanics, but it demands significant patience and skill from players, making it potentially frustrating for those not prepared for the challenge.

Oh man the glory days of gaming all over again, best game ever created just about. Its up there, put it on extreme and uggh, not that easy? I wish the studios would get really creative again and concentrate on the atmospheric storyteling as well as game mechanic, rather then just trying to fully simulate reality with the graphics & the rest is ambigious generic i cant connect with anymore?. This games graphics are very good for the time and they greatly succeed in creating the ambience of a ww2 Japanese base on an island somehwere in the Pacific forgotten by time. The gameplay is awesome the ai soldier sims work together also to flush you out when detected & they mouth off at you once noticed just the right agressively funny way, its a scream blasting your way through & in armed vehicles, a perfect potential for gameplay chaos. The sneak elements excellent also its so well thought out an open world but not too big so that you feel repetitively disconnected from it. Theres a constant comedy element also thaTs quite the tongue in cheek and that along with the serious orchestrated tension building scores is highly entertaining for me! Nah i love this game played it in the day l…
The game is good, but difficult as hell. If you aren't a hardcore shooter veteran, do yourself a favor: play on Easy and quicksave after every single kill. Otherwise, your monitor won't survive this jungle!
