What is Far Cry 3?
Far Cry 3 is a FPS (First Person Shooter), developed by Ubisoft for PC, XBox 360 and PS3. It was released on 29/11/2012. You will be in an open world, which you'll be able to go everywhere you want. There is a crafting system that will allow you to craft bags, syringes...
You can play different modes: story, cooperative and multiplayer.
What is about the story?
You will be Jason Brody, an american. You and your friends will be arrested by a group of a pirates. After being able to escape, you will join to the people who lived there since the beginning. Your mission is to save your friends and escape from the island, or at least this is what you thought initially...
What can you do in Far Cry 3?
The game have a main story, but you'll be able to do a lot of things, reveal the map will be obligatory, find relics and treasures, a lot of secondary missions ( some of them are necessary to unblock some stuff to craft), hunt animals, gather plants, poker, different challenges...
All this will give you money (to buy or customize weapons) and experience. The XP will let you to unblock some skills that will make you more powerful ( more health points, differents modes to kill enemies...). You also can drive 12 different vehicles to move where you want if you don't want to use the fast travel.
How is the game? (My opinion, only in story mode)
Well, the graphics are awesome, the game have a really nice ambience, although sometimes I miss a denser jungle. The scenarios are quite achieved ( caves, bunkers, ruins, wrecks...) you will find them everywhere you go, ready to explore. The UI is easy to use and smart.
The combat system is fantastic, with an AI really well done, sometimes you will think that you are fighting to another player. Also you will have enough weapons to enjoy, plus a lot of different animals.
The skill tree is fine, especially since it will be coordinated with the story, if you want to have all the skills you have to play the main mission, which makes it an incentive to play it.
The story, have theirs ups and downs, but to understand it you have to get into the role of Jason. Also have a lot of impressive sequences through which you will plunge into the role much more.
In fact, the only thing I miss, is more secondary missions, or at least, harder. If you really want to enjoy this game, set the game difficulty on Warrior (Hard), if not, the game will be very easy ( if you have any experience on FPS).
To end the negative fact, is that you only have two slots to save the game. It will be nice if you would have several of them, also too more keys to customize the differents syringes you'll be able to craft.
Ultimately, Far Cry 3 has been a good experience to play, if you had played Far Cry/ Far Cry 2, you must play this one, much better than the others, if you did't you are missing a great game. You have more than 30 hours ahead of game that you will bring you a lot of hours of fun.
