The game gets a bit repetitive but I gotta admit, it is fun to tackle it and the view is not bad at all... my little pet peeve is the fact that they called it Far Cry and that this is more of an Adventure game than a Shooter... very fun nonetheless.

I think the general idea is to assault camps differently, I switched between stealth and just lobbing as many explosives as possible down range. It really isn't that different from far cry 2 in it's general format. It is also just like far cry and far cry 2, in that it has absolutely nothing to do with either of the games that came before it.

Sniping is what I love, perhaps because I suck at close quarter combats (when I get anxious, I tend to hit the wrong keys even if my fingers are already on it! ) sio basically what I do is... I approach the camp from a hill, get the camera so I know where most of them are, I start sniping the snipers first, wait for the HEAVIES to turn around and snipe them as well, rinse and repeat with the CHARGERS and other baddies. Or, I like this one too... they usually have a caged animal so I snipe the cage and let it run a mock and this is when all hell brakes loose because they are not alerted to my shooting. Other times I just let them have it with the GL90

Crytek, IMO, intended for the Far Cry game to be mostly an open world shooter with some rare creatures to boot and not an adventure/repetitive/go pick up flowers with the sporadic shooting... that's what I meant. I do enjoy the scenery though, at least much better than the Desert Savannah of FC2 with 1 animal every 100 miles (and yes... of course I am exaggerating! mostly for effect! )

Amazing what a well placed score (song) can do to cinematography

I loose my bearings in flying so fast is not even funny but yeah... I would be willing to take one of those spaceship for a spin

Anybody having issues burning the crops on the second running of the game... friend played it on normal and now he's trying to do it on hard and the crops just won't burn

Another great Ubi bug
