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 :)

FAR CRY, PRETTY GOOD GAME

This game is pretty good, great graphics, pretty good sound, and the environments are awesome. But I think if there were more guns than the game would be more fun.

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.

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.

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.

Far Cry Instincts for the Xbox is a really fun shooter that has an insane single player game and an even better multiplayer experience. Throughout the single player game, you go through many different levels that all play extremely well. Unlike the PC game, this console version is very straight forward, usually with a go from A to B kind of feel. This isn't a bad thing in any way, especially since there are usually small areas with a couple ways to complete the task at hand. Overall, the gameplay is amazing and is truly a great FPS shooter. One thing I loved while playing this game was the stealth aspects you can use. You can crouch and stay prone which will allow enemies to not suspect you coming. You can also set up traps which once you get the hang of it can be a lot of fun. You can also throw rocks and stones to trick your enemies to think you're somewhere else, which allows for a quick unsuspecting kill. The last huge thing that makes the single player experience so exciting the feral abilities. When using these, your character (Jack Carver) uses his animal instincts and turns into a whole new person. He has this one ability where, if close enough to your enemy, you can lunge toward and send your enemy flying through the air. This is SO much fun and my favorite of all the different abilities. There are also abilities including night vision and super speed which are very fun too.

The best thing, in my opinion, is the multiplayer aspect of this game. There are the basic deathmatch and team deathmatch, along with other modes including Steal the Sample (probably my favorite, plays much like Capture the Flag). There is a lot of diversity in the maps which makes for a great online experience. Another great thing about the multiplayer experience is the insanely good map editor. This is something that I've always thought would make a great addition to a game, and this game has it...YAY! There is also the fun Predator mode which is also addicting and fun. Overall, this game rocked and the multiplayer is equally as fun!

a decent game with too many flaws

lets tackle us some flaws, cuz this game has a bunch:

1. If you do not have the time & date properly set on your xbox OR if you take this game out of/eject the disc from your xbox for any reason: you WILL be forced to watch a five minute commercial for the game you are minutes away from playing. from what i've been told, this has to do with temporary sound files far cry installs on your xbox. when the game is ejected, the files are deleted.

2. the AI is terrible. the enemies are either so mindnumbingly stupid you can walk up behind them and shoot them in the face at point blank range or they're so clairvoient you'll be spotted from so far away that even with the scope on your sniper rifle, you couldn't fire an acurate shot. This also makes stealth moves harder, as your spotted in everything except the thickest of brush. unfortunately, sight in this brush is pretty restricted. BE WARNED: one mission towards the end of the game will have you pulling your hair out. it is your job to escort a person to a chopper, killing any bad guy that gets in the way. unfortunately, the guy will constantly run out in front of you and otherwise get in the way. this will force you to play this mission dozens of times before dumb luck finally leaves you victorious.

3. then there's the weapon damage. somehow, the enemy can shoot you through trees and behind rocks... with amazing accuracy. ememies can withstand dozens of shots to the body while still charging at you with full speed.

4. the vehicle control just plain sucks... especially when driving smaller vehicles. firing while on the vehicles is equally as crummy. because you are driving in first person, you'll often times find yourself backing off cliffs, hitting things you can't see causing you vehicle to flip over.

5. this game also uses auto-save points. unfortunately, these can be few and far between forcing you to replay lengthy sections of game.

there is fun to be had, but not without enduring tons of flaws. and to be forwarned: THE ENDING PRETTY MUCH SUCKS. putting 20 hours in to a game for a (literally) 35 second payoff? come on...

A great FPS for the Xbox

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).

This Game Rock The USSR
