A few notes
(A) If you play this, I strongly recommend you look up how to save anywhere instead of relying on console-style checkpoints. (B) If you want to play multiplayer, BE WARNED you have to create an ubi.com account.

Not my best experience.
The game would be great, not doubt about it, but the issues it has just ruins it for me. - Enemies shoot you through tents, as if they have x-ray vision. - The textures of the map are not rendered correctly, and grass grows 2 meters away from the player, even after setting the game to ultra.

Not worth the rage...
Be warned: The game starts like any other FPS game, but, man, does it get infuriatingly hard in the second half. All of the legends about the insane difficulty spike are true. There are so many unfair situations where you are forced to reload, and reload, and reload till you memorise all of the enemies or get luck. You are often spammed with though enemies (and quite a few times in a narrow room). I managed to beat it (after almost giving up on the last level), and I am sure I will not play it ever again. The frustration is simply not worth the shallow and uninteresting story, the terrible voice acting and cutscenes. The gunplay is quite enjoyable, but other than that there is not a lot of good about this game. Do not recommend. Unless, it is a giveaway or like 1 euro. Save yourself the stress.

One of the Most Difficult FPS Games Ever
This game sets itself out to destroy you. The checkpoints aren't always positioned the best as you can be taken out in less than a second. This even includes playing it on the "easy" difficulty. I could only imaging playing this on the hardest difficulty. I should note that I've played games like World War II GI and NAM and I died less in those games. I know cover is important in this game, but there isn't enough cover when you are swarmed by more than every enemy in sight. It's a great looking game for 2004 standards with nice detail and even widescreen support. The story isn't too shabby either. The sequels seem to be better balanced though, so maybe those would be more my cup of tea. If you're an FPS god, knock yourself out, but I'm not a fan of this one.

Well, it's a Crytek game alright
And by that, I mean that it bears all of the hallmarks shared by some of the later games made by this developer. It was a visual powerhouse at the time of its release, it had an intriguing premise and gameplay that was fun in the first few levels... but then about halfway through the campaign, it just fell off the cliff and turned into a complete mess. In Crysis, it was the annoying snow level, and in Far Cry it's the appearance of mutants that can either leap at you from 50 feet away and kill you in one swipe, or gun you down from the other side of the level. At this point, I've played this game enough to sort of adjust to its level of crappiness when it comes to dealing with mutants, and I was surprised at how easily I was able to breeze through it on my most recent playthrough. But I wouldn't count that as a sign that it's a good game - that was just me having a lot of practice with it so I'm not the least bit surprised whenever someone who never played this game before picks it up and eventually gets frustrated with it. Another thing that I noticed during this playthrough is just how dumb the human enemy AI is. Very often I will be picking dudes off like ducks and their comrades will just stand around trying to figure out what happened to their friend before I inevitably put a bullet in their skull too. The instances of them doing something incredibly dumb are numerous and the only challenge comes from their inhuman accuracy once they finally spot you and figure out that they should probably start shooting at you. In general, it's not a bad game and the open-ended nature of the levels is certainly one of its most unique selling points as far as the gameplay goes. But it's just a mediocre shooter that didn't age very well and it's obvious today that graphics were its strongest element at the time.
