A lot of people will whine about this game. That certain things i.e Weapon Jam is unfair , enemy respawn rates are harsh , that the vehicles are easily breakable and generally that the higher the difficult the more impossible it seems. I remember booting this game out the day I got it 5 years ago. What greeted me was one of the Single Best FPS for people that don't want to be rail road tracked like COD or any on the rails shooter. The vast amount of ways you can take out enemies is limited only by yourself. I have taken out a whole base of guards before with 1 flare and a molotov on some of the harder difficulties. The difficulty in raising funds and ensuring that both you and your buddys stay alive and as healthy as possible added in a factor that you'll never see FarCry produce again. Fighting off both Malaria and gun jams was what made this game all the more enjoyable as you constantly had to ensure you were ready for the next batch of Explosions , gun fire and close quarters executions. While the plot does seem to be uninteresting at points it is actually quite fun to compare what the Jackal states and tries to teach your charecter through the tapes and with his interactions with the modern world. Is the Jackal a good person? No but even he has his limits and wants to see an end to both of the facist and corrupt regimes plauging the nation. Pair all this alongside assasination missions , taking out arms dealers , aiding your friends and smuggling documents for the Underground and you have yourself a game that is highly replayable and highly enjoyable. To this day I am yet to do a playthrough in which I find all the diamond cases in a single run as most of the time you can generate the cash you need by doing the odd random side quest. TLDR - Don't let other people rag down this game because it doesnt play like (Insert game here). If you are a fan of open world challenging shooters then i'd say give this one a go. You never know you might have fun.
