2004 was a good year for FPS games. Both HALF LIFE 2 and FAR CRY were released. Whereas DOOM III and QUAKE IV came and went - mostly unnoticed, these two were here to stay. Nevertheless, whereas HL2 eventually got to my nerves with the whole STEAMed-you-need-our-permission-to-play-even-a-single-player-game blunder, FAR CRY was the game I loved the most and replayed again and again.The graphics are just amazing! HL2 may have crisp and clear textures too, however, FAR CRY's are also realistic and detailed even at maximum resolution. The controls are intuitive and remapable - and take the character (Jack Carver) precisely where you want him. Running is fast and crawling is effectively silent.

My PC currently consists of an Athlon XP 3200+ CPU, a Radeon 9800 Pro and 1 GB of DDR (let the laughter commence), but this rig plays Far Cry with absolutely no problems, and boy am I grateful: this is one of the finest FPS ever released. Yes, it pales compared to current games demanding 2 grand's worth of kit, but then so does Resident Evil!The graphics are excellent, with the jungle stages, in particular, standing out, and the environment is remarkably free-ranging (as opposed to the on-rails style of, say, Doom 3). Objectives can be approached with varying tactics, and enemies behave with uncanny intelligence (for example, summoning help rather than steaming in guns blazing). Weaponry is variegated,

Classic, epic, first-person shooter that keeps on giving, even though it was produced way-back-when, in 2004. You fight (or try to sneak) your way through merc-encampments, on several tropical islands - and Far Cry is the first game (as far as I know) that allowed you to drive around in jeeps and gunboats, causing mayhem. And even now, I still find myself pressing 'enter', whenever I'm standing next to a vehicle, in a first-person shooter. It never works, though. Boring.The mutants, in the latter half of the game, can be quite annoying, particularly since they can kill you with one blow. But that's a minor gripe.Nowhere near as pretty to look at as its successor, Crysis, but Crysis seriously loses momentum,

I only discovered this game by chance in a shop a while back and got it really cheap. I wasn't expecting much when I installed it but within in minutes I was enjoying the whole experience. Its a wonderfully made game, Brilliant interesting storyline. Hours on end of gameplay it took me a week to complete, a huge array of weaponry at your disposal and a wonderful setting, a beautiful remote tropical island in the pacific with golden beaches dense jungles and high mountains all playable areas, the whole island scenery really adds to the game and gives it a brilliant atmosphere. I actually didn't want the game to end when i was playing it, it was that good.

Bit old now but this was great fun and ground breaking game for me. A First Persons Shooter but this was the first one I came across that pulled away from the drab war gray zone. Here was a guy on a lush remote island in a Haywain shirt with a mission with some great locations.The scenery is probably a bit dated now but it was lush colourful, plants moved in the breeze and fish swam in the sea. The combat was good with an array of weapons. Great fun. The game has a twist in the second half were the action changes a bit and gets more intense. I prefer the first sort of compact but it does make the game less predictable.

Being a silver surfer/gamer I have played a great many games and Far cry is one of the best of them. I know it is getting on a bit but for a 2004 game it is amazing, it is obvious that a great deal of effort went into getting it right, it is totally immersive. The game also makes you consider the best way of attacking your objective, if you just rush in with guns blazing you will end up dead. There is no quick save feature which can make it a bit trying at times, but this forces you to try a bit harder next time, the auto save works well even if it's a bit trying at times. I give it 10/10, buy it now. I'm running it on Windows 7, no problems.

This is the Best offline single player out.Allthough it says XP, there is a patch that now comes with it to run on Vista and Windows Seven. If you should find that your copy does not have this patch it can be down loaded from quite a few sites.I have been playing this game since it first came out and it still as surprises in store.Far Cry 2 is not in the same League.How did I Know about the patch, well my fist copy of the game had problems with sand & sea the same Color on Vista and Windows Seven So I bought a New copy from Amazon and was Delighted it came with the patch. I do play newer games as well but I always come back to Far Cry.

This is a great game and you cant go wrong for a fiver anyway! but the game is very good and has very good gameplay, very similar gameplay to half life. I have a very low spec pc and the graphics were very bad but the gameplay was still amazing, showing how good this game is. Very good storyline and it doesnt get boring. Last level is near impossible and i needed to look up a walkthrough on youtube and the difficult was on easy! So its an awesome game which you should get! im still convinced u can get a lower price than this! probably play.comgive it a bash, its great, have fun!

I hope it's of some help to potential buyers: this game loaded on my Windows 7 64bit home premium (Quad-core Pentium i5) OK. There is an optimisation patch for 64bit systems that you'll find via Google and if the graphics freak-out when you first play then run the program as an administrator and your ready to go.As for the game, I can only echo the sentiments of other reviewers - really good fun, good gameplay, graphics, sound, which is why I've installed it again on my new computer! Also, good old Amazon, at a great price.

Here you have an excellent game that will give you hours of entertainment for about the price of a pint.I have played it though on several different levels and still find it an excellent game; one that I come back to again and again.OK, hard-line gamers won't appreciate this game nor would the younger people. I am a silver surfer and enjoy it very much.Buy it and have a go. If you don't like it you can always sell it on EBay!

I enjoyed the Thief series of games, plus the first three splinter cell ones, so was looking for another stealth game. Great array of weapons and vehicles, although I found steering difficult as it was obviously designed for a console originally. Plenty of walkthroughs on the net if you get stuck. Will play again and again at different difficulties.

little old but amazing FPS evergreen game if u have'nt played this game go for it, brilliant graphics and amazing game play,supports windows 7 but should install patch software provided in the dvd itself and you can run this game even in ordinary laptop.

Far Cry is brilliant i enjoyed it very much and i'm only a gamer sporadically possibly die hard gamers would be more critical but for the odd evening gamer it is easy to play, the visuals are good and there is plenty of action

This game is just about as good as it gets. Although the graphics are not state of the art any more the game play and story makes up for it.

My husband loved this game. The graffics and the way it flowed from one scene to another. A really enjoyable game.
