The grittiest, most realistic Far Cry. Where this game really shines for me is the atmosphere; an definite sense of being dropped into a foreign land and having to survive. You have no special abilities and there are no conga lines of enemies waiting to be stealthily taken down one by one, like other FC's. The negatives (there definitely are some): Enemy variety is poor and AI is very average. Stealth take-downs are not animated and can be a bit hit and miss. The biggest missing piece is where are the animals? Especially in a land where there are few people, I'd expect animals to move in to take their place. Maybe to do with technical limitations of the time. I've played through this game twice and really enjoyed it. The graphics hold up to this day, but the game play is now a bit dated.
