Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Good. But not that good!

Stunning graphics ( I have a high end machine) but annoying game play, constantly fighting road blocks and being assaulted by trucks wherever you go, if you return that way on the same mission all the roadblocks are re-populated and you have to do it all again. Would have liked an option to explore the world without embarking on the missions all the time once completed. The original Far Cry was a classic and much better than this. An add on pack is definitely needed to give it some credibility. Very poor only gave it 3 stars because of the graphics.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT GAME

Got to agree with glen, have the people who left negative feed back actually played the game. Completed it on hardcore and i can honestly say i loved every minute. Like every game it has some faults, for example you cant go prone or peep around corners but the action is fantastic. As for all that driving try a boat , swim, walk or any other means you fancy, go off road and chase the wild life ( that,s fun ). Really its one of my favorite games, try it for yourself.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Game

Im wondering if the writers of these bad reviews have even played the game. This game is brilliant in every way.
The graphics are great. The attention to detail is amazing. The worlds the game takes place in are enourmous and very well made.
The game will last you a long while and has good difficulty levels.
This game is very original and very different to other games. Why are people saying this is like GTA??? I cant see any similarity.
The storyline is very good and very well thought out.
I've played 100's of games and this is one of the best ever. I love this game. and i havent tried multiplayer!
Dont listen to those other fools; get this game!!
