Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3 is an open world first-person shooter set on an island unlike any other. A place where heavily armed warlords traffic in slaves. Where outsiders are hunted for ransom. And as you embark on a desperate quest to rescue your friends, you realize that the only way to escape this darkness... is to embrace it.

This is the best video game I have ever played. Their is nothing wrong with this game. Before I played this game I thought Skyrim was the best game. After playing this, every game including Skyrim looks like crud.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Far Cry is, in a word, "sweet." It gives you a HUGE map, loads it up with tons of beautiful places to go and fun things to do... the story is actually not burdensome despite how it may appear to some at the very beginning... you gets lots of fun toys of destruction (oh yeah, fire propagation is back..... thus you start a fire in the brush and soon you've got a REALLY big fire; like in Far Cry 2), it's really hard to find enough good things to say about Far Cry 3.
Basically this takes place on a couple of tropical islands in the South Pacific Ocean... you have a main plot-line to advance but you can choose to either do this, do one of the many, many side quests/item collection tasks scattered throughout the islands, or you can free-roam and explore one of the coolest locations I've seen in a game. The graphics in general are really good but the islands themselves are GORGEOUS!! Wandering around finding hidden lakes, soaring waterfalls, hidden caves, old WWII bunkers... the island itself becomes a character in a way. It's not quite Bioshock's "Rapture"... I'd perhaps compare it to New York from Crysis 2 (sorry, haven't picked up Crysis 3 yet so can't compare that). Sure, it's not post-apocalyptic like Crysis, but it's the same in that you'll consistently stop and gawk at some of the amazing scenery. Far Cry's weather effects and day/night cycles heighten this, as you'll see when you first run across a waterfall draining into a lake in the jungle with slight rain coming down, or the sun rising or setting as you stare out over the ocean. The music is used rarely but to good effect and the sound effects are good... it's just that the visuals of the island steal the show.
The gameplay is fun and tight, shooting feels fun and the multitude of weapons are a joy to blast through the island with. There is an XP system where you get experience for tasks/kills and upgrade your character through 3 skill trees. You have to do some of the Story Missions to fully unlock the skill trees, but you'll have the whole thing unlocked with LOADS of game to spare.... depending on how much side stuff you do in the beginning I'd estimate you'll have a good 80% of the total game content left after you get the skill trees fully unlocked. The whole island is basically a big sandbox, giving you freedom to do whatever, whenever. The missions/tasks give you this same freedom. You can sneak around doing stealth-kills, snipe from long range, lob Molotov Cocktails and burn the place down.... the huge areas and large variety of weaponry (along with how you develop your character's skill points) allow for lots of options.
Far Cry 3 is just a lot of fun. Even if you ignore all of the optional side quests/challenges and the main quest you'll still find lots of things to occupy your time on these amazing looking islands. The complaints many had about Far Cry 2 have all been fixed (enemy re-spawn points that couldn't be captured, weapons breaking, not a lot of side quests/diversions) and this game is about as bug-free as you can get (ESPECIALLY for an open-world game). With the recent price-drop I'd grab this game immediately.... even if the genre doesn't sound like your thing: this game is good enough to convert people.

Never played a game in this series and with all the hype I had to pick this game up and it did not disappoint! The story is pretty good and long depending on how you decide to play the game. If you go to outposts to liberate them you can be very methodical by putting out Mines and C4 to set traps and snares which make for a more interesting game play. The weapon selections are nice! You can carry a lot of them at one time which is cool because sometimes you need stealth and other times you need Rocket Launchers and Flame throwers...lol Its a very detailed game and reminded me a lot of Red Dead Redemption though not quite as good though but close. The graphics are good at times and then they drop off at other times. Not really sure why that happens but it does. The story at points will make you roll your eyes but just endure it because it gets better. The coop needs a little work but is still fun when playing with friends. This game is a keeper like Red Dead! You need to pick this game up for your collection. Its one of those games that willl keep you coming back for more and more...

I never played a far cry game before this and this is one of the best games I ever played. If you beat the story you can still drive around the island also you can make a map or play co-op or multiplayer

Ubisoft really stepped it up this time around with Far Cry 3. One of my favorite games I have ever played. The graphics are so beautiful with so much texture. Everything is almost real life like. It's a first person open world shooter which, "Who can deny that." I had a blast with this game and I hope that Far Cry 3 is nominated for game of the year because at first it was a game looked over by many people. This game deserves to be respected the way it is now.

This game describes it! With one of the best plots around, amazing graphics, cool and swift gameplay, and plenty of things to do, you will fall in love with this game. The best part about this game is obviously story mode, which features Vaas, one of my favorite villains and Jason, one of my favorite protagonist who gets sucked into the world of violence and becoming the ultimate warrior. There is also co-op, which is also great, but obviously not as good as the main story, but very fun. Let's not forget great multiplayer, but you won't play much of co-op or multiplayer when you get into the main story. PERFECT, 10/10.

Ubi-soft really stepped their game up after Far Cry 2's not so grand plot-line, as well as the yucky environment. Far Cry 3 is filled with a beautiful open world environment, amazing fire fights, amazing plot and awesome abilities. This game is great!

I usually will buy a game and play and beat it and then keep it for about a month or 2 just so that my review isn't affected by the hype and excitement of a new game. with that said let me tell you that if you do not own FC3 then you are missing out, Like i said earlier I've had it for around 2 months and I'm on my second play through and enjoying it just as much as i did the first time. It's like somebody took Assassins Creed, Borderlands and Skyrim and put them all into one great game. the map is huge and it takes a while to travel from one place to another (thank God for fast travel!) there's a good amount of guns and there's a bit of customization you can do to most of them, how you approach a mission is completely up to you whether you like to run in guns blazing or (like myself) go in quiet and use stealth to deliver death to your unsuspecting victims. hunting is also fun and is essential to your progress through the levels. my least favorite thing about this game is that after you beat it then there's really not much to do other than side missions and mini games (knife throwing is the best) most of the side missions are fun but not lengthy by any mean so after the game is beat you could go hunting if that's what you're into and there's always the trials of the rakyat which are pretty fun but get old after a while. however, it will take a good amount of time to beat the game as the story is long and the map is huge. All in all FC3 is a great game, if you are having doubts or worries about buying it put those to rest and go get this game! I promise you won't be disappointed.
