First off let me start by saying Instincts predator was terrible. Far cry 2 was a chore. Far cry 3? Brilliant. The graphics are second to none. If possible get it on PC, far superior to the consoles, however the console graphics are eye tingling. The consoles do sometimes struggle to keep with the frame rate and this tech is really pushing both 360 and PS3 to its absolute limit.
The gameplay is awesome. Smooth, flowing and insanely addictive. Gun fights are the core gameplay. Taking over outposts, taking down Vaas and Hoyt and killing a couple of Siberian tigers along the way. However in such a massive game world constantly gun fighting can become a drag you would think. Well not here. The game breaks up the fights with very well pulled off stealth system. Its no RPG style stealth, but for an FPS, the best there is on the current market.
Now this game deserves its praise, and I could go on writing about how great the game is, but I only have a 1000 words. so, onto the bad stuff. Boss fights. One of the most memorable villains I have seen since Ganondorf was killed in a dream sequence. No explanation. Just the game said he's dead. Thats it. The same with the last boss. Terribly done. Besides from a couple of free roam bugs (falling through the map and occasional dead A.I) and similar scenery, far cry 3 is definitely one of the games of 2012 if not THE game. Must buy, just be pre-pared for a couple of disappointments.
