Far Cry review
A tropical paradise seethes with hidden evil in Far Cry, a cunningly
detailed action shooter that pushes the boundaries of combat to shocking
new levels.
Feel the Far Cry engine: The meticulously designed, next-generation Far Cry
engine pushes the threshold of action gaming with proprietary Polybump
mapping, advanced environment and character physics, destructible terrain,
dynamic lighting, motion-captured animation, and total surround sound.
Unparalleled long-range gunplay: Battle to the ends of the earth with Far
Cry’s utterly unique, 800-meter scalable view system. Lock onto
enemies from a distance with motion-sensing binoculars. Then choose your
style of attack - from long-range sniping to ballis tic close-quarters
firefights - and everything in between.
Cunning and complex AI tactics: Battles never become repetitive when you
face Far Cry’s unpredictable, intelligent AI mercenary units trained
in advanced adaptive group tactics. Units include snipers, stalkers,
scouts, and grenadiers who engage you from all angles, distances, and
terrains in coordinated strikes. Commanders will even call for
reinforcements by land, sea, or air.
Diverse combat action: Master a dynamic slate of combat skills -
close-quarters combat, long-range shooting, search-and-destroy tactics,
stealth operations, and combat driving skills through indoor and outdoor
environments.
Heart-pounding atmosphere: Experience unprecedented drama and realism in a
misleadingly perfect setting, with incredible lighting and shadows,
adaptive audio, and weather effects.
