I played this game way back when it first came out. My Dad bought it for himself and I played it after him. I absolutely love the game. Although I haven't played Far Cry 2, the rest of them that came after this one are boring. Sorry to anyone who thinks otherwise, but the original is, by far, the best in the series. The graphics are older compared to what can be done today, but even so, it beats the hell out of Call of Duty games. The enemies are funny when you listen into their conversations, there is realism in that you can only carry a few guns, you are forced to think tactically to overcome both obstacles and enemies, and the level design is superb. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for an FPS jungle survival with a sprinkling of mystery.

Farcry fue uno de los juegos de mundo abierto aunque con errores pero buena historia, sin embargo, que estes solo en una isla contra millones de maniaticos lo hace emocionando, los animales en el bosque, en el agua, en el cielo. muy buen juego pero pasado de moda

Far cry is a very generic shooter at first glance, and it's actually kinda better while maintaining that cover, story wise at least. While you are fighting the pirates, the game is challenging, fun, and normal, and you even have to use tactics, and sometimes stealth, to even the odds. You're just a Hawaii Shirt wearing dude, fighting against an army after all. Later in the game, the story gets rather bizarre, and the mutant cyber monkeys or whatever are pretty overpowered, and the whole thing becomes a fast paced, crazy shootout, where you really just blow stuff up until you're last one standing. The setting is weird, in the way, that it's almost as if the team just wanted to make a great engine, that can display a large jungle, that you can travel, and once that was done, they made a game for it. The finished product is fine, good even, it's just strange, that you can stray so far from the road, or glide away into the sunset at the later levels....then you have to walk back...

One of the best game ever. Still looks awesome. Best childhood memories. I wish i could play multiplayer now ..but server is dead now ... Best graphics in that time... Legendary cryengine... Worth every coin.. Buy it people :)

The original Far Cry still holds up today as a great game, but the difficulty remains as sky high as ever, especially once you get passed the introduction of the invisible enemies and monkeys. An average gamer will likely need to use cheats to get through this game due to how hard it can get. The sequels were way easier and more fun, but the original has an incredible open world with tons of land and sea vehicles and a seemingly infinite number of ways to get through the story missions. The open world is absolutely massive and the graphics have held up fairly well over the years, especially the dense vegetation. This game is an easy recommendation for anyone who likes open world games and first person shooters in general. The only complaint I have with the game aside from the difficulty is that the world is just far too massive considering there's no side quests or collectibles to be found, nor is there any form of new game plus or unlockables. It just seems like wasted potential to have such a gorgeously huge world that is so devoid of anything to do outside of the story missions. This series has always been great, but didn't really hit its stride until Far Cry 3, which fixes everything that was wrong with this original game. If you haven't payed this game yet, you don't know what you're missing.
