A Far Cry from being fun.

There are already many reviews praising the game's graphics, when I play a game, I don't care if it has the best graphics in the world, although it helps a bit sometimes, but the gameplay in this game is so infuriating and so random that even the prettiest of the graphics won't have a redeeming factor. The story is pretty silly, the voices are nothing short of laughable and a cardboard box has more personality than the characters of this game. The game starts out being a bit interesting enough and the action is a bit hectic sometimes... if you're not dealing with snipers. Seriously, you'll want to punch a baby seal if you're still playing the game after you've dealt with a tower of snipers. The game maintains to be decent enough as you progress and it may actually start to grow on you, until you reach certain point where you no longer have to fight humans... seriously, the new enemies you'll encounter are some of the cheapest and most infuriating of any game. I've never actually finished this game, but I just wanted the pain to stop. I actually bought this game in retail disc and I literally threw it to the garbage and I never looked back. Avoid at all costs, you'll never be able to remove this game from your GOG library. Ever.

A mostly wonderful sandbox experience

For the most part, Far Cry is a magnificent experience, only marred by a few inconsistencies in design philosophy. For the most part, this is a game about cat-and-mouse stalking through beautifully rendered jungles, and planning out your own unique approaches to objectives. However, there are a good number of moments where the game forgets this, and has you gunning through linear corridors or forces you into mandatory frustrating gunbattles. Still, when Far Cry works, it REALLY works, and manages to craft a compelling and memorable shooting experience. gameplay-wise, Far Cry is most famous for its emphasis on sandbox play, giving multiple ways to approach any given objective. Although this isn't really anything too unusual now (and wasn't even at the time), the way Crytek does this style of gameplay feels very good. Like in its successor Crysis, Far Cry really makes you FEEL like you have complete freedom, not just like you're choosing from a pre-defined list of solutions. But one other aspect that sets Far Cry apart from other sandbox games is that your character is NOT an all powerful force capable of executing any wild plan you happen to concoct. Blasting through an enemy camp with a machinegun is certainly a viable solution, but you'll find that using stealth in some capacity gives far better results. The more memorable parts of Far Cry are its deadly games of hide and seek, as surprisingly intelligent enemies work together to try and hunt you down in the game's dense jungles. Unfortunately, the firefights take place inside military bunkers and caverns as often as they do outside, and you'll find these levels to be significantly less engaging, and much more frustrating. Toward later parts of the game, you'll find that the intelligent AI and unforgiving damage are more of a frustration than a challenge. Graphically, Far Cry is beautiful. There's no other word for it. Although some textures show their age and the environments are disappointingly indestructible, there are enough sophisticated effects (including some limited dynamic lighting, god rays, light bloom, and texture detailing) and impressive vistas in this game to satisfy even the most curmudgeony of modern gamers. Story-wise, however, Far Cry is awful. The overarching plot is generic and unengaging, and apart from a fairly predictable twist near the end it doesn't really have anything in the way of momentum. On top of that, the scripting of cutscenes and character "banter" could have come straight from a bad SyFy channel movie. Voice acting isn't too bad--everything is enunciated properly, which is more than can be said for some titles--but neither is it very special. But in the grand scheme of things, this is not a game you play for its plot. This is a game you play for its unique and immersive style of FPS gameplay. And while it can be fairly hit-or-miss toward the later half of the game, Far Cry is overall a great experience that will provide you with a lot of entertainment for your $10.

beautiful graphic but very hard

i remember when i played far cry 1 as a teen the graphics water is fantastic but after buying and playing this game it was like a nightmare because it very very hard such as -the movement speed in this game is very slow -you can sprint in this game but short time because the stamina runs out fast -a monster in this game can kill the player one or two times and also the armor will run out now if the monster attack with a one time so i wanna recommended it to the hardcore players but if you wanna looking for relax i don't recommend this game

Great game for open spaces.

Farcry has to be one of the best wide range games of its time. Well, other than Outcast. I play through the games, and yes the story is not the best, but still fun to play. One thing I really love about this game is the level editor, load of fun. The graphics are very well done, so is the game play. I had loads of fun with this game. I suggest anyone who has not played this game to give it a try, you won't be disappointed... and if you are... then there are a lot more choices of games on GOG. :)

This was the beginning of an era.

Far Cry wasn't the first game to give wide open expanses and freedom, and it wasn't the first to look good. But it was the first to do both at the same time. Far Cry marks the beginning of a new era graphically. It started out as a tech demo for the Cry engine ultimately to be used in Crysis. To be honest, I've always liked it better than Crysis. Far Cry puts you on a tropical island and lets you figure out your optimum way through to the other side. Sometimes it's loud. Sometimes stealthy. Sometimes you just commandeer a boat and sail around the bad guys. About halfway through the game, the difficulty ramps up significantly as you begin to take on mutants as well as human enemies. The game doesn't take itself too seriously. It's one of the few shooters that I've played through more than once.
