Description
A tropical paradise seethes with hidden evil in Far Cry, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushed 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.

Still good.

I have recently finished this GOG version and its as good as I remember it being not long after release. Its not perfect but still fun. I had to change a setting in a file to get rid of a five minute not responding bug on loading screens but once done I had no problems playing the game, I found the fix on the GOG forum.

Great value former AAA shooter

With the Far Cry franchise increasingly burdened with RPG elements and politics, it's refreshing to revisit the original game that set the standard for realistic open-world first-person shooters. Bright, colorful, and challenging to say the least. Huge selection of locations, vehicles, and weapons. Play on the easiest difficulty if necessary because, even then, it'll rough you up plenty along the way. Any graphics solution from the past 10 years will be able to play it at 1080p with high frame rates. A straight-up and challenging FPS for only $10 US. Hard to beat that.

Still the best...

For me (and I write it with a heavy heart) this is still the best in the series! No open world, just pure action. As I see it, this game (comparing it with the subsequent games in the series) is a very solid proof in gaming that not all games and settings in games are fit to be designed and played into an open world/theme park. Also, a very good rescue-the-lady story which turns out to be something bigger.

Fun game, broke AI.

I just completed the game and enjoyed most of it, but the cursed AI was definitely still broken for my playthrough. The final battle took me forever to complete because the AI has perfect aim and can see through solid objects from across the map.
