When I rented this game for my birthday party, I fell in love with the map editor. It's simply the best of anything I've seen before. There are a few set-backs, though.

Pros:
Great, in-depth map editor.
Good graphics.
Amazing assortment of weapons and vehicles.
Fun Xbox live.

Cons:
Difficult 1st-person driving.
Grenades aren't helpful even in multi-player.
Unrealistic weapon damage on enemies (I now see the reason behind having a 15-shot pistol)
A very, very long unskippable opening sequence.
Music is REALLY LOUD in single player. I don't see why it needs to be, either.

Definitely a buy, if you're a fan of 1st person games (you aren't in 3rd-person ever).

Far Cry one of the better fps'

For those who will read most reviews on this page, don't listen to them. This game is awesome. The Graphics are some of the best i've seen. Now I have to agree the AI is not the best and there is a long unskippable trailer every time you load a game, but these things are easy to pass up when you think about how much fun the game is. I really think this game is worth it's money ($15 used or $20 new). I also love the weaponry and controls. Any one who likes first person shooters should definitely pick this up.

Rating:
Graphics:10
Sound:9

Replayability:7
Fun:9.5
Origionality:5.5
Difficulty:Pretty easy until the last levels.

I love this game and would Highly recommend it to any fps fanboy.

Great!

I am having a lot of fun with this game and the graphics are amazing! Playing on a tropical island is too cool! And my wife is having a blast designing her own multiplayer levels for she and I to combat on. You start out with basically nothing when you begin creating your level and then you end up with this really neat little world to play in. I haven't gotten too far into the main storyline yet, but so far this game is definitely worth picking up.

May be the last truely great shooter on the Xbox

All I say is that this is way better than Halo or Halo 2(Although the Halo games had a better story line). The graphics and visuals are absolutely amazing and the gameplay is just absolutely fun. There are tons of weapons to choose from and the feral abilities are really fun to use. This is quite possibly the best shooter ever created for the Xbox.

This game makes Halo look like a b$%#%

If you thought Halo or Halo 2 single player was good, then you haven't played far cry instincts. This game is the second best FPS in single player mode next to Half Life 2. Seriously, now that this game is less than $20 bucks you'll be happy you go it. The challenge of this game is well balanced, its fairly long considering you'll die a whole bunch, but it will make you come up with different approaches to different levels of the game. I highly recommend this game :)

fun but there's just one thing

Ok the single player is great with sweet tropical island graphics and make your own tropical island in map editor which could have been way better. Ok get this , If your signed off when you make a map you cant share that map online ever not even when you sign on, you have to be signed on while making a map to share it with other people. The online play sux. Thats wear the gameplay goes down. Horrible servers with many stupid people on the game. finding a room without a stupid annoying trash talking person in it is like winning the lottery. Unfairness rules over this game so you constantly are running into people with duel guns and you only have one. If you get annoyed by snipeing stay far far away cause you will get a lot of that. Everytime you leave a room you have to resign in which takes a bit and gets annoying. If you want a game worthwhile trade in farcry for battlefield 2. Thats what i did. even though i only got 25 bucks for farcry when i paid 50 id rather get rid of that piece of junk. this game has very bad online support

ONE OF THE BEST ON XBOX,EVEN BETTER THAN HALO!

Far Cry are much better than HALO.HALO is the type of game that would blow 5-10 year olds away-But i`m 13 and i look for more realistic stuff on my XBox,PS2 and GCN(yes i have them all).
I look for games like(*Long List*)Medal Of Honor,Call Of Duty,Brothers In Arms,Rainbow six,SOCOM,Ghost Recon,ShellShock:Nam 67 and so on.I like fantsy games every now and again,i also like half-fantasy,half realistic games like Metal Gear Solid,which does not have silly futuristic guns like a giant electro magnetic,this and that gun HALO uses-But does have giant Robotic dinosaurs made by the Military,and RARELY Supernatural bad-guys.I don`t like Metroid Prime,Turok either.
I am just one of these people who cannot stand 100% FANTASY-FANTASY games-only realistic or half fantsies(like Metal gear).
HALO and Metroid Prime are good games-But not the best for me-MAYBE for you-but not for me!

A CROSS BETWEEN HALO 2,METAL GEAR SOLID 3 AND SPLINTER CELL

is what Far Cry:Insticts is.
HALO2:for the supern FPS style gameplay.
MGS3:The rural jungle,not to mention supernatural stuff and the "Rambo" esque is also tinted in the game i think.
SC:well both are made by UbiSoft-except Tom Clancy id nothing to do with FC:I-the stealth can be y`know like SC.
I wou;d relate it to MGS3 best-Its better than MGS3,but is still think MGS3 is great.MGS3 and FC:I are the only games i know that are set in the jungle as a one-man-army type thing,games like ghost Recon are smetimes set in the jungle but they are squad shootas.
But NEWAYS bye.

This Game Rock The USSR
