DESCRIPTION
Far Cry has players controlling freelance mariner Jack Carver, who has recently arrived at a tropical island. Jack accepted a large sum of money to transport a reporter named Valerie to the island, but when they arrived, the boat was fired upon and sunk. Valerie is now missing, and Jack finds himself alone and outgunned against a mysterious militia. Shortly after heading into the jungle, Jack finds a militia insider who discloses the group's true intentions. What was expected to be a relaxing day in paradise has now turned into a fight for the human race.
Far Cry runs on developer Crytek Studios' own CryENGINE, which features unpredictable enemies that use group tactics to make Carver's job more difficult. Enemy units include scouts, stalkers, snipers, and grenadiers, each of whom can call for reinforcements to arrive by land, sea, or air. Fortunately for players, Carver will gain access to a variety of weapons and items, such as motion-sensing binoculars to help in isolating targets from afar. Fighting, however, isn't always the answer when one is severely outnumbered, and players may choose to rely on stealth tactics to help see them through. ~ Jonathan Sutyak, All Game Guide

“This game was cool because it took place somewhere other than a space station, or some military complex or research facility. The environments really put this game ahead of the rest. It is still worth playing to this day.”

“The game was a 4-star until the Trigens appear. Then it's a 2-star. The enemy AI was very unfair, and since I played the game about 3 years after it came out, the graphics didn't blow me out of the water like some people.”
