i have no idea if i should positive or negative reivew this game. on the one hand when you install it and click play it just runs and works, and is very funny. on the other hand its one of the worst fucking pieces of fucking stupid fucking bullshit garbage fucker games i have ever played i am the kind of guy who will fiddle with a pc gaME to get it to turn on but i dont really like modding games because thats a whole new level of cancer to try and get something that already works, working in a fan's vision wchih is generally not worth it to me at all. if its like an unofficial patch or something then sure but otherwise i just wanna play the game how it is for when it came out, so when i read about a quick save mod for this i said, nah that's okay. little did i know this game was going to subject me to the endless path of torment and pain on the last two levels, so that mod would have been really nice. this game is evil. the way enemies just lock on to from across the realm and will start walking towards you and then pre fire you with a rocket launcher from behind a corner makes this a fuckers game. the way this game is 20 levels long in of itself speaks of evilness. i cannot imagine this game is even playable on the hardest difficulty i dont think i will ever know why ubi for far cry 2 was like yeah make that a sequel to this, or a successor, or whatever. i think the crytek engine is very funny but the employees who made this need to be sent to hell. very funny game thank you for one of the worst experiences ofmy entire life

With mods it's a must play for all Far Cry fans - Duck, crawl, rung/walk, peek/lean, fun action music/dialogue.

Far Cry is a game where you start as a normal guy and, within an hour, become a one-man extinction event. You’ll go from sneaking through the jungle to blowing up helicopters with a Molotov you found in a shack. The enemies have military training, but unfortunately, I have main character syndrome. The story? Some evil dictator wants to rule a tropical paradise. My response? Systematically wiping out his entire bloodline with a bow and arrow. The AI tries to stop me, but they have the intelligence of boiled potatoes—watching a guard investigate his friend’s corpse only to get stabbed in the exact same spot is peak comedy. Memorable moments include: Shot a guy in the foot, he went flying like I hit him with a truck. Threw a rock as a distraction, enemy stared at it for 45 seconds like it contained the meaning of life. Set myself on fire. Twice. Drove a jeep off a cliff, survived. The jeep didn’t. Liberated an outpost using only a hunting knife and pure spite. Would I recommend this game? Absolutely. It’s not just a shooter—it’s a wildlife documentary featuring explosions.
