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.

Age of Mythology transports players to a time when heroes did battle with monsters of legend and the gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men. In Age of Mythology, players wage war using human armies and diplomacy, progress through development ages, enhance military and economic performance with improvements, and manage economics through resource gathering and trade. Mythology enters the mix when players call upon the gods to act on their behalf or reinforce their armies with more than 20 mythological creatures. Less

FAR CRY: Intelligent Shooter?

bytheuerkorn Dec 3, 2004
72 Helpfuls 73 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros AI, graphics, huge areas, challenging missions, medium system requirements
Cons limited game save options, somewhat complicated controls
Recommended it? Yes

Now honestly, something just doesn't sound right when combining the words 'intelligent' and 'shooter'. No offense, but pretty much all shooters are more or less single minded. So is Far Cry different? Developer Crytek and publisher UbiSoft seem to think so. Well, let's see ...

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. For that fact alone, I think it is a must own. So despite the slap together B-movie plot that combines elements of... Read full review »

Age of Mythology ~ Not as good as Age of Empires

Pros Anything to do with mythology is always cool.
Cons Feels a little outdated
Recommended it? Yes

I am completely enthralled with Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings and it's expansion, Age of Conquerors. I think that soured Age of Mythology for me just a bit. Oh don't get me wrong, this is a great game.... it just isn't quite as engaging as it's cousin, close, but not quite.

Ensemble Studios Brings Us To Another Age

bygorocco Dec 13, 2002
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use interface, Varying twists to the real time strategy formula
Cons Mediocre AI, average single player experience, too much base building
Recommended it? Yes

With all of the RTS games out there, the phrase "beating a dead horse" more than applies to this genre. We've seen everything from humans and orcs to Star Wars licenced games. Now, Ensemble Studios, the happy folk who brought us Age of Empires (AOE) I and II, come back with yet another RTS. Age of... Read full review »
