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.

Far Cry 3 was good, but not great. I would wait to buy it, maybe once the price drops. The game is pretty, but that's not enough to make the game good. The things I didn't like about the game aren't enough to say don't buy it. Half of the game is all cut scenes. The map might be big but a lot of the game can get pretty repetitive, I also didn't like that there was a lot of parts of the game that requires you to be stealthy which I don't get. I also don't get the main character, he's a rich California kid who can kill an entire army of pirates and a private army by himself, as soon as the game starts. Overall I would say to rent this game until it's price gets dropped, or I guess you could go spend $60 on a game that's really only worth $40. I also don't understand all of the people saying that this game is Skyrim with guns. It is nothing like Skyrim. That's like saying that GTA IV is like Skyrim with guns.

This is truly one of the greatest games to come out on ps3. The graphics are jaw-dropping and the beautiful tropic setting will sometimes look photo realistic. The gameplay is better than most game's out there and many times will give you a choice in how take on enemies. (In the sense of being stealthy or going in guns blazing) but there are also time in the game where you will be forced into insane huge fire-fights without a choice which is annoying if you prefer stealth. Another small complaint is that while story wise, seeing Jason grow is very fulfilling, when it comes to the actual perks you receive for gaining XP, a lot of them just aren't that useful. But these are just minor complaints that barely take away from this fantastic game. When all comes down to it though, the true star of this game if the story. It is dark, unpredictable, and will keep you at the edge of your seat. And when it comes down to the end of it, the two endings work well. (I thought one was great, the other... meh) So bottom line, buy this game, its campaign will promise to be a fantastic 16ish hours.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Let me start off by saying that this game is pretty mature. The violence it typical as in other games like Call of Duty, Dishonored, or any other M game. But it's the true story of the game that makes it quite creepy. The creepiness of the game starts fairly early when you meet the doctor. He makes a lot of drug refrences, is on drugs, and sends you to a place where you get on drugs.There are also two "dirty" scenes in the game where one can be skipped. But if you can handle this, it's a fantastic game. Far Cry 3 is incredibly fun right from the start. They throw you right into the action without holding your hand too much. Something I loved about the game is the leveling up. Some level ups are a little useless like being able to shoot a pistol on a zipline, which you will never ever really use. But most are very useful like a chain takedown, more health, etc. Another thing I love is the crafting system. You can make bigger ammo pouches, loot pouches, and also make weapon holsters so you can carry more guns. The way you make these items is by hunting animals, so it makes hunting more useful. In Skyrim I found that hunting was only good for getting a few gold and that's about it. But Far Cry 3 makes sure all animal skins are useful. Now, on to the games guns. They're FANTASTIC with all caps. You can customize the guns to your liking with camos, silencers, scopes, extended clips, and more. Something that dissapoints a little with the guns however is that some guns aren't customizable. Some are excusable like the flamethrower where you can only add camos but that makes sense because nothing else really would make sense. But other guns like the AK-47 you can't add anything to it except camos, especially when you can put a scope on it in multiplayer. Now, onto the story, It's really good and immersive. It pulls off a really good story, probably the best I've seen in an RPG. I thought that it would be a side thing in the game, but it's quite the opposite, I ended up wishing there was more to the story. What makes the story so fun it the way it sets up missions, like "Kick the Hornet's Nest" a mission where it showcases the incredibly realistic fire effects. Something that surprised me was that the game is incredibly fun even when you don't do the story. The campaign was enough to make this game a must buy but they even added an average co-op and great multiplayer. The co-op sadly isn't open world like the story, but it's still fun to shoot pirates with up to three friends. The multi-player is great though. It's very fun and has all sorts of features like a reward system even when you don't play, customizing loadouts, and many other features. Something that surprised me is that the graphics are as good on multiplayer as on story. So in the end, it's definatley worth your money and don't let it pass you by.

Far Cry 3 is such a great game and should not be passed up. It's my personal Game of the Year for 2012. Campaign is amazing and Rook Island is beautiful and amazing to explore. Multiplayer is also awesome and unlike CoD, it requires teamwork and cooperation. A truly phenomenal game!

A beautiful follow up to FC2, magnificently better graphics, sound, and overall gameplay.
A diverse and colorful environment with a massive landscape, filled with interactive, aggressive wildlife! (boars, bears, jaguars, even sharks and alligators)
more, better, customizable, camouflage-selectable weapons. Faster, bigger, larger selection of vehicles.
Smarter, stronger AI (compared to Farcry 2), with more varieties in the types of enemies.
A new, complex, combat upgrading/leveling system.
Significantly better animations and cut scenes. A massive selection of small missions/tasks scattered around the map including hunting, poker, fighting, and racing.
I rarely award 10/10, but given the extremely nice job that this game has done compared to the first and second installment, I believe it deserves a full rating. Everything that was missing and anything that could have been better about the last games were perfected in this one. I saw no bugs and even the load times were removed or reduced to almost nothing.

I have honestly never been more surprised by a game before. I had never played and of the Far Cry games before this, but decided to give it a shot. I was blown away to say the least. It is very rare than I become completely involved in a game, Far Cry 3 accomplished that. The story progression is completely engulfing and the character development is incredible. You become the main character. The weapon mechanics are very similar to COD, but in a good way. This game is one of the best i have played in years. You will absolutely not be disappointed.

Far Cry 3 is one of the best games that i have ever played. Everything about the game is stunning and keeps you hooked until the final moments of the game. You play as Jason Brody who he, along with his friends take a vacation in what they believe paradise. But after a day of sky diving you find yourself locked in a cage and being screamed at by a man by the name of Vaas. Throughout the course of the story Jason Brody changes from a weak vacationer to a well oiled killing machine. The gun play is very good how you can burn through enemies with a flamethrower or to stealthily sneaking up behind enemies and conducting a chain of takedowns you feel next to unstoppable as you near the end of the game. There is plenty to do on the island and lots of wild life that you can kill for some animal hide and construct wallets and pouches to help you carry a larger amount of items. Or crafting syringes that will enhance you to become immune to fire, able to hold your breath for longer durations underwater, or to keep from being killed from animals (which comes in handy). It has a large variety of weapons that you unlock throughout the course of the game and you can customize your weapons to kill who or what as you will. The multiplayer i haven't had alot of time to play but of what i have played it pretty good but doesn't contend with top names. What you want from this game is its compelling storyline that keeps you wrapped up in it until the final scene. If you enjoyed the review then click that thumbs up. and add me on PSN (miguelyorkes222) i can play borderlands 1/2, resident evil, far cry 3, Black ops 2 and other game depending on if i have them.
