A must have for any high end pc gamer
by tyco49 on September 26, 2005
Pros: Graphics, gameplay, length, AI, multiplayer, realism
Cons: physics, no cool mods
Summary: This is definately one of the "must-have" games for the PC. Great graphics and gameplay make it an amazing experience. The setting and plot are unique and combine sci-fi and ...
Summary: This is definately one of the "must-have" games for the PC. Great graphics and gameplay make it an amazing experience. The setting and plot are unique and combine sci-fi and realism. I find I get more hours out of this game than HL2 and the multiplayer is far superior. The only drag is the physics, once I shot a fish that I had blown out of the water with a grenade and it flew into the sky. Explosions are nice but cannot compair to HL2. I still believe that anyone owning a highj end pc should have this game. 2 thumbs up!

Gorgeous and Fun
by SPARTAN VI on August 3, 2005
Pros: Still one of the best looking games there is, amazingly fun.
Cons: Multiplayer stinks, hardware intensive, AI borders toddler intelligence, crygens suck.
Summary: You haven't played this game until you played with it enabled (you'll need SM3.0 support- which means no ATi- and the command /r_hdrrendering 7).
Very fun game- ...Summary: You haven't played this game until you played with it enabled (you'll need SM3.0 support- which means no ATi- and the command /r_hdrrendering 7).
Very fun game- ragdoll physics, per poly hit detection w/ decals upon impact (can make for some gruesomely blood deaths), vehicles, awesome weapon selection, gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
Too bad the infant AI keeps you grounded in reality, crygens are very annoying, and the multiplayer doesn't live up to the single player.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

What a game!
by LoopBack on June 27, 2005
Pros: What a game!
Cons: You can save games only at given checkpoints. Need a top of the line graphic card.
Summary: I'm not a heavy gamer, but as soon as you start this one, you realize it is going to set a new standard. Much like Red Alert at the ...
Summary: I'm not a heavy gamer, but as soon as you start this one, you realize it is going to set a new standard. Much like Red Alert at the time, and then games like Myst, Half-Life etc.
Go and buy this game. Give the people who made this game your money because:
1. They deserve it.
2. They should have money to go and develop more games like this one.
btw, you can use a 'cheat' to save games at any point, but it's not as much fun.
The last missions are very difficult. Remember that there is always more than one way to finish a task in this game. Try all sorts of different approaches.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great game, if only it worked on my pc
Pros: The game has outstandingly detailed graphics and sound and everything.
Cons: The game came in the box when I bought my 300 dollar nVidia 6800 video card. Well, for some reason I get random graphical errors when I play the game, random bars going through the screen, which replaces missing textures in the non updated version. I ha

Fun, challenging, great graphics.
by marincat on July 14, 2006
Pros: Challenging enough to keep you interested.
Cons: Graphics hard to set.
Summary: I have played many pc games and this one is just about my favorite. It is fast paced, exciting, challenging and different than many of the others.

BEST game on the market today
Pros: Love the realism in the game (i.e. reloading, number of weapons that you carry, gun sway). Great weapons (sniper rifle) and tools (thermal goggles). Lots of extra touches like pictures and movable boxes. Cool player moves like proning and side looking.
Cons: None really. Using version 1.1 and have only found one bug and no crashes.

Best Single Player FPS To Date!
Pros: Interesting Story Line, will keep you wanting more. Graphics are the best I have seen so far (Better than Doom 3 in my opinion) IF you have a 3D card that can handle it. Sound effects are top notch, great selection of Weapons and Vehicles to Drive (I love
Cons: Not Much, Other than maybe having to buy a better 3D Card but hey, we always need a better 3D Card :P Game Can be very tough at times but take it slow and don't rush. My Only Big Con is you cannot save the game when you want to, only when the Auto Save po

I can't stop.....
Pros: Game auto sets the options to your machine for optimum performance. Even seens to run ok on 64mb ATI Mobility 9700 with 3.0 dell and 1 gig mem. Heart-pounding anticipation. Binoculars are a great idea.
Cons: Difficult! Just keep trying, you'll get there!

- Description: 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. Freelance mariner Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago, a brash female reporter named Valerie had offered him an incredible sum of cash to take her to this unspoiled paradise. Shortly after docking, however, Jack's boat was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming about the island. With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and the gorgeous Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island, with nothing but a gun and his wits to survive. But the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become. Jack encounters an insider within the militia group who reveals the horrific details of the mercenaries' true intentions. He presents Jack with an unsettling choice: battle the deadliest mercenaries, or condemn the human race to a maniac's insidious agenda.
