Description
A tropical paradise seethes with hidden evil in Far Cry, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushes the boundaries of combat to shocking new levels.
Freelance mariner Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago, a brash female reporter named Valerie had offered him an incredible sum of cash to take her to this unspoiled paradise. Shortly after docking, however, Jack's boat was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming about the island.
With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and the gorgeous Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island, with nothing but a gun and his wits to survive. But the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become.
Jack encounters an insider within the militia group who reveals the horrific details of the mercenaries' true intentions. He presents Jack with an unsettling choice: battle the deadliest mercenaries, or condemn the human race to a maniac's insidious agenda.

Très bon jeu pour lancer la licence Far Cry. Des graphismes très acceptables pour l'époque(2008 je crois) et un gameplay assez intéressant. Malheureusement, si la première partie se passe en extérieur dans la nature où on se bat contre des mercenaires, la seconde se passe dans des bunkers à tirer sur mutants et même si certaines personnes aiment cette deuxième partie, je trouve personnellement qu'elle s'éloigne de l'esprit du jeu. Les gunfight sont plutôt plaisants mais il n'y a pas énormément d'armes. L'histoire n'est pas le point fort, elle sert juste à donner du contexte et on se sent moins libre que dans les far cry plus récents (logique c'est 2008). On doit suivre le chemin tracé et on ne peut pas vraiment choisir de mode opératoire. Et pour finir les bugs. Il n'y en a pas tellement in game mais plutôt dans les abysses du jeu : crash, sauvegardes qui disparaissent ou qui ne s'effectuent pas, ce genre de choses. Malgré tout c'est un bon jeu mais mettez vous dans la tête que c'est un vieux jeu.

- Crash, bugs
- 2ème partie avec les mutants beaucoup plus sombre

Dobra lecz trudna gra z ciekawą fabułą, dająca pozorne wrażenie braku liniowości.
Pozycja obowiązkowa dla fanów serii jak również dla wielbicieli gatunku fabularnych FPSów.
EN
Good but difficult game with an interesting storyline, giving the apparent lack of linearity.
Mandatory position for fans of the series as well as for the fans of the Story-FPS genre.
