So I picked up a copy of Far Cry Instincts on the original Xbox very cheap the other day in my local Gamestation. I've played about an hour or so of the game and I thought I would write what I think about the game so far.
For starters this is probably one of the best, if not the best looking game on the xbox, the graphics look really crisp and the attention to detial on this tropical island is amazing. My favourite aspect of the graphics though were the glossy water effects which blew me away even today.
But sadly the graphics are the only aspect I like so far, the voice acting seems kinda flat and I have the feeling that the S word is going to become overused by the central character Jack Carver.
After playing about one hour of this game: man this game is really quite brutal in terms of difficulty, your encouraged to use stealth to your advantage but to be honest using it is a waste of time since the enemy can detect you even in the thickest of jungle. The gun fights get old really quickly aswell, most of the weapons you get at the start are a littile underpowered, but still it's the beginning of the game. One minor problem that pissed me off though about the weapons was the MP5, which in real life is a kick ass gun but for close quarters combat not at range which Far cry encourages you to do. Anyway enough about MP5's the game does look promising at least for now and the graphics make me want to play even more. Hopefully this will be a blast.
