FarCry

[Sonic 293]

Has anyone played FarCry yet?

 

I just got it today and wow!!!! It really is great. The graphics look outstanding and I'm only running it on medium detail settings. It was a tad jerky on the highest settings.

 

GameSpot call it

"quite possibly the best single-player first-person shooter experience for the PC since Half-Life".

Pandora Tomorrow is better.

I just finished Pandora Tomorrow. Quite the game . On to FarCry next .

[Sonic 293]

Pandora Tomorrow is better.

There is no denying that Pandora Tomorrow is one great game. Its short though....that train level is great to play but it really doesn't take that long to get through.

 

As for FarCry, the maps are so huge!!!

[Koen 2]

It sounds cool... but I'll need a new PC first :roll:

[Thierry 0]

Yeah! I can play it on high settings once I get it .

I can only wonder how good the multiplayer will be...

[Sonic 293]

The multiplayer side of FarCry is rather basic, the guts of the game is the single player game.

[Thierry 0]

Oh... I though the most games like this were the best in multiplayer

[Guest manhat]

no not yet but i bin hearing quite alote about it and it sounds very cool :wink:

[Thierry 0]

Mine are:

C & C Generals/Zero Hour

Worms 3D

Emperor Battle For Dune

Medal Of Honor AA

IL 2 Forgotten Battles

C & C Tiberian Sun

And some others

 

Gamecube:

Zelda: Windwaker

Star Wars Rogue Leader

Super Mario Sunshine

 

ANything else?

[Sonic 293]

Oh... I though the most games like this were the best in multiplayer

Not FarCry. They actually made a decent single player game. As you play through the missions you can choose multiple paths to take in most areas, unlike most FPS games theses day where you can only go one way.

FarCry has high replay value

[Thierry 0]

Cool

I got 007 Goldeneye om my old N64, the multiplayer is the best there.
