As Jack Carver, you have had a tough week. Lured to an island paradise by a brash reporter named Valerie who promised loads of cash, you were met by a hail of bullets by the militia that controlled the land. With your boat destroyed, your money gone and Valerie conveniently missing, you have to rely on your wits and your gun to keep you alive long enough to escape. But as the mercenaries' strange agenda soon becomes clear, you realize that you must stop their horrific plans and save the human race from extinction. Far Cry presents long range gameplay, sophisticated Artificial Intelligence tactics, diverse styles of combat and a heart-pounding atmosphere of suspense. Featuring combat ranging from long-range sniping to close quarters firefights and everything in between, Far Cry's A.I. provides unpredictable, nonrepetitive battles. Prepare yourself for dark deeds beneath sunny skies. Less

What more can be said from the topic? This game changes the face of all strategy games for eternity. It added the element of FULL three dimensional movement.

Pros next-gen gfx engine, improved AI, less linearity, solid gameplay
Cons lots of cliche, unbalanced multiplayer, be invisible in the bush.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm glad Far Cry came out. Because unlike Doom III or Half Life 2, this game actually came out on time, and is without a doubt the first of a new line of next generation shooters.
