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.

Not even playable

I couldn't even get this P.O.C to run. Running it normally, under compatibility settings, administrator all lead to a critical exception error. I tried all the different kinds of "fixes"/patches/mods that are said to fix this error yet I'm still where I began. In short: don't buy this game, it simply doesn't work.

How is Vsync still broken?

It was broken in the original game, and still broken here.

One of my favorite shooters

I love this game. It is very challenging, graphics are great, and it is interesting and playable. It's a must if you like shooters.

Great!

Very challenging, but fun. Running around in a Hawaiian shirt, you would expect to be killed by a couple of machine gun shots.
