Reviews around graphic (4.43 of 5)

  • The graphics are good and the game play is long, not even including all of the side mission, let alone the DLCs.
  • I gave FC2 high reviews for its stunning graphics and professional quality votive acting
  • Boring game, poor graphics, blah, nothing like the original FarCry game, nothing good to say about it
  • * Great graphics -- not Crysis 2 / 3 great, but still very very good

Reviews around gameplay (4.34 of 5)

  • The graphics are awesome in this game, everything about this game is top notch, gameplay, weapons & mods, vehichles, explosions, animals that will kill you and on and on
  • This game is a great installment of the FC world, stunning open world gameplay and setting, varied missions and side missions and some interesting story elements
  • The graphics are stunning and the gameplay is very smooth.
  • The storyline is awful and the gameplay is shallow and boring.
  • Great story, really fun gameplay and a pretty decent amount of stuff to do aside from the main storyline

Reviews around weapon (4.26 of 5)

  • Now I will probably enjoy the game a lot more if I play through it again since I know how everything works, what the best weapons are, where everything is, etc
  • On the other hand a 230-pound guy with a body armor dies instantly after 3 bullets into his leg (SoF2 how I miss your injury models, where a person shot in the limb will drop a weapon in shock, limp around, then come back and pick it up, or bleed to death slowly)
  • Due to negative things like crafting, story, limited inventory and weapons early in the game, I found the game very hard to enjoy until I was about 80% of my way through the game
  • Game flows well except for the mandatory "bow" usage, which are terrible...worse weapon ever for a game as the arrows fly nothing like they
  • This game is pretty good, except you end up wanting to mod the game due to lack of customization for some weapons, as well as unrealistic weapon damage

Reviews around world (4.21 of 5)

  • i had a ball with this game the open world was fun to explore
  • I think that's the really fun part of this game - the open world is rich, and the first half of the game when you're low on resources is fun and challenging - but after the first BB it becomes a bit repetitious and easier to win most confrontation the first time
  • Far Cry 3 is an open world FPS with beautiful gfx, great voice acting, and perhaps the best experience you'd ever had in 2012
  • I still own and play the game occasionally to enjoy the open world.
  • The color palette was washed out and heinously brown, the world felt lukewarm and monotonous.

Reviews around cry (4.08 of 5)

  • If you loved Far Cry, and you really loved Far Cry 2, then you will consider this one of the best video games ever made
  • Do I like Fall Out - yes, but its a Far Cry from
  • I enjoyed Far Cry 1 despite a few annoying aspects of the game such as controlling vehicles
  • I loved the original Far Cry, it was my favorite games of all time, but this is just too much to deal with.
  • I really looked forward to playing this game as I really enjoyed Far Cry 2

Reviews around play (3.90 of 5)

  • in all I would say that this is one of the best FPS games I have played so far
  • Hands down, ONE of the greatest games that I've ever played
  • It says something about a game when I complete it and afterwards miss playing it
  • The Ubisoft U-Play is kind of annoying, but it's a lot like Steam and other types of game centers.
  • Easily one of the best games I have ever played, might run into some launch issues though

Reviews around character (3.75 of 5)

  • Thankfully I was wrong because this game is truly great with memorable characters and a great story
  • There is no real character development, just some arbitrary (and severe) limitations like "you can carry only 1 gun" which really disrupt the game play as the world around you is perfectly natural and not "paced" for your initial limitations
  • Instead you're just left wondering if the main character was that cardboard why bother with characters like Vaas or Buck or the Professor
  • but I'd recommended to buy 3.It's revolution of Far Cry series and amazing characters quite collectible game so far

Reviews around story (3.41 of 5)

  • After Far Cry 2 left a bitter taste in my mouth with its boring empty world and mediocre story and missions, I just didn't have much hope for Far Cry 3
  • I found the story line of this game interesting but plagued with some issues as far as movement on the PC
  • Far Cry 3, Is a good game, but a bit redundant and repetitive story is fun but needs to have locations of checkpoints closer.
  • This game is an awesome sandbox game with a very good story too
  • The story is much improved over Far Cry 2 and the voice acting is top notch

Reviews around language (3.40 of 5)

  • Not like Ghost Recon where everything worked as they explained
  • Sure hate the filthy language and the crappy checkpoint approach to saves, not as bad, as in many games, wherein the first time playing, one has to repeat the in between checkpoints repeatedly if playing on expert or difficult modes
  • I have a Windows 7 X64 8 core with 8GB of ram and a decent Nvidia G-Force card .
  • Awful language and unpleasant evil throughout, where's the good old shoot 'em ups

Reviews around lot (3.37 of 5)

  • Warning, this game contains lots of swearing and heathenism
  • Great game lots of fun but gets boring once you have everything I head a good time with it up until the end
  • Trying to stay stealthy is fun nerve racking, driving, flying and smashing up boats is great. if you like a lot of sneaking around the bad guys before you off them this one fits the bill
  • Because I am a bit older than your average gamer, I have played an awful lot of shooters

Reviews around fact (3.04 of 5)

  • I don't like the fact that you cant save your games at crucial times
  • Not like Ghost Recon where everything worked as they explained
  • But to be specific... I hate the fact that you can't save anything
  • i bought this pre release which in my mind with all the bugs and inescapable movie scenes and the fact you can't do game saves this game is not worth pre release price, after having time to get through the game whats the first question you ask yourself
  • You are limited to the following slots for these: The "Q" key is reserved for medical health syringes (comparable to stimpacks or medipacks) and cannot be reassigned; and then you have "Z", "T", 7, and 8; and among these 4 you can assign them to any currently available syringes, rock throwing (default "T", for diversions), or the camera (default "Z")

Reviews around pirate (2.41 of 5)

  • Not like Ghost Recon where everything worked as they explained
  • You travel among various islands, killing pirates who have wronged you and your friends
  • However, it seems, I am not vexed enough to stop killing pirates and uninstall the game
  • Animals will attack pirates and each other and oftentimes throw themselves into the middle of a firefight.
  • I am an "over 70" gamer and not as fast with a mouse as I once was, but I still enjoy playing.

Reviews around tiger (2.40 of 5)

  • boot).Dont tell PETA or any other animal activists cos most of the game involves stabbing various endagered species, stab a shark get a reward, stab a monkey, get a reward, stab a golden tiger, or an eagle or a komodo dragon and guess what... you get rewarded
  • Suddenly, a tiger came out of no where and killed them both
  • I am an "over 70" gamer and not as fast with a mouse as I once was, but I still enjoy playing.
  • Also, a Tiger Shark bite is less dangerous than the dog bite

Reviews around animal (2.20 of 5)

  • Nice game, but i dont like kill animals :/, good graphics and more real performance
  • There are also optional "side missions" you can play at any time such as delivering medical supplies to a friendly base or hunting down a specific animal like a Tiger
  • Love wandering in the jungle, and stalking the wild animals and watch their behavior, more than the story...
  • Not like Ghost Recon where everything worked as they explained
  • Also some of the missions regarding the hide's application require multiple hits with some rather unrealistic weapons which totally favor the animals

Reviews around mission (2.11 of 5)

  • The net to me in terms of rating - 5 stars for the open world and in the realistic portions decent AI and fun side missions - and a zero stars for the ludicrous BBs and associated cutscenes
  • This game is a great installment of the FC world, stunning open world gameplay and setting, varied missions and side missions and some interesting story elements
  • Love the open world format, you can do missions or you can putz around the islands.
  • I am an "over 70" gamer and not as fast with a mouse as I once was, but I still enjoy playing.
  • Second, I loved Far Cry 1, Skyrim, Modern Warfare 1 and 2 and won't buy MW 3 because of the reviews and lack of positive input on single player and special missions -- I prefer single player and special missions when I don't feel like fighting the hackers, cheaters and whiners in the multiplayer drama

  • Killing "bad" people is required to advance the quests (and skills) in this game.
  • I don't play other people online and am vexed by this program's insidious presence on my system

Reviews around mode (1.80 of 5)

  • I finished it and replayed it in super hard mode it was so good
  • Many times you'll be standing over the corpse, jiggling the pointer until the magical "Press E to Loot" prompt comes.
  • I've sunk 40hrs in total, finished up the main quests and am now in free roam mode
  • I'm old fashioned I guess, because I hate U-play and Steam modes these days to play games, as they are a pain in the rear; a waste of time to get it done and the like, before you ever get around to playing the game.
  • Online mode though, the savegames are often lost, and game semi-crashes to the desktop frequently.

Reviews around guy (1.54 of 5)

  • You are introduced to Vaas, truly one of the most innovative, well voice-acted and interesting villains to make his debut in video games as well as a number of other bad/good guys
  • Next time ill be the bad guy in the end since I was the good guy this
  • I feel like you guys are deceiving your customers by forcing them into software they didn't ask for
  • The guys love this and the noise level is a testiment to their playing it

Reviews around drm (1.00 of 5)

  • DRM sucks - more often than not it just hurts the honest customer.
  • The game did install and run fine though the DRM was very annoying
  • I would not recommend this game to PC users due to the invasive DRM and "PunkBuster" programs and I will not buy Ubisoft games in the future
  • The only downside is Ubisoft's stupid DRM which requires you to use their "Launcher" app.
  • The game also comes with a very competent map editor, just like the previous two and the first Crysis.((DRM))One time online activation via UPLAY, another proprietary DRM like STEAM and EA ORIGIN.((OUTRO))Ubisoft rectified all the shortcomings of Far Cry 2 by bringing back the core elements of Far Cry 1, infusing the things that worked in Far Cry 2 into Far Cry 3, and came out as a winner.
