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

BioShock is a unique game that mixes a spine-chilling setting illustrated with art deco art and architecture, sci-fi themes of bio-genetic mutation and self-modification, a deep storyline with open-choice freedom to interact with the world as you choose, and first-person action that requires you to think every time you pull the trigger. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn 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 ...

Introducing the next generation of 3d-shooters.

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 »

Pros Great Premise, graphics, and powers.
Cons Terrible ending, no multiplay
Recommended it? Yes

In Bioshock, the latest 3D action game from 2K games, something is rotten in the city of Rapture. Shortly after surviving a plane crash, the player finds himself descending via a bathysphere from a lighthouse to the submerged city of Rapture.

No sooner does the player arrive at Rapture,... Read full review »

Amazing Graphics and sound, compelling story

Pros Original story, great graphics, atmospheric.
Cons Game is short. A bit predictable storyline.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been addicted to this game since my wife convinced me to buy it. The idea was that we would play through it together as we did with Gabriel Knight, Fatal Frame, and the classic horror game Phantasmagoria. Of course, I did not end up waiting on her.

It's a creepy game, full of... Read full review »
