  Far Cry Review

  • A huge tropical world stuffed with fun things to do
  • Ecology and unpredictable creatures make the world come alive
  • Stealth and action come together in rewarding ways
  • Role-playing elements and difficulty curve give a sense of momentum
  • Great structure leads you from one activity to the next.


  • Some design quirks lead to minor frustrations
  • Certain story elements break the immersion.

9.0
Far Cry 3 is an excellent game, marred mainly by some irritating design elements and an inconsistent story that often defaults to generic "tribal" cliches to make an impact.

90
Far Cry 3 is important for the same reason as Far Cry 2. It's a shooter that considers shooters thoughtfully, both in the way they're designed and the way we play them, and then asks us to do the same.
