Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Preview
In a nutshell:
Far Cry: Instincts sees you stuck on a gloriously rendered tropical island filled with lush jungle, limpid pools and heavily tooled-up mercenaries. Open-ended encounters offer far more cerebral exercise than your average run-and-gun, as well as the requisite trigger-pumping action. And then you start to discover the islands nasty little secrets…

The lowdown:
Although the full story mode is not in place yet, the environments, their contents and the sparse but important vehicles point to an exceptionally interesting console conversion of the PC classic. Graphics remain tantalisingly sharp and an underwater swim in one of the island’s many lagoons is exceptionally refreshing.

Most exciting moment:
So it’s you versus the mercenaries in a straightforward shooting match, right? Wrong. Far Cry has quite a few more tricks up its sleeve…

Since you ask:
Along with guns, explosives and vehicles, you can also set, bait and quietly observe traps in the undergrowth.

The bottom line:
If looks could kill, this would be lethal at 10 paces--how the rest fits together, time will tell.
Nick Gillett

Manufacturer's Description
You're Jack Carver, stranded on a remote tropical island in the South Pacific. A legion of heavily equipped elite mercenaries is closing in. Outmanned and outgunned, you must defeat the enemy and ensure your survival.

  • Choose how you kill on massive open-ended islands. Snipe from extreme distances, set up brutal traps or launch close range assaults by land, sea and air.
  • Outsmart the mercenaries' complex Full Action Response A.I. as they react to your tactics with coordinated strikes from all angles, distances and terrains.
  • Master an impressive arsenal of realistic weapons and vehicles and turn the mercenaries' stockpile into the instruments of their destruction.
  • Develop your natural abilities into powerful predatory skills: camouflage, adrenaline boosting, sensory perception and regeneration.
  • The battle continues with comprehensive multiplayer and level editing features. Easily create maps, upload them via Xbox Live and stage ultimate multiplayer matches with your friends.

    5.0 out of 5 stars FAR CRY ....from a bad game, 28 Sep 2005
    firstly the press have been giving Far Cry Rave reviews 9+/10 have been given across all sots of magazines/ internet sites if you want to see videos or screen shots for this game vist IGN.com. ok for thoose of you who dont know what Far Cry is Far Cry is one of the best FPS games on the PC along side Half life 2 and DOOM 3. This version of Far Cry (instincts) is the now xbox exclusive console version of the game with a slightly altered story line and gamplay elements. far cry offers a huge range of vechiles to drive and wepons to shoot. the game takes place on a remote tropical island and each level takes place like a First person GTA game with literaly hundreds of routes you can take through diffrent levels. you start of stranded and hunted having to use skirmish tactics to take down your enemys.but later in the game you get injected with a serum giving you super human abilitys allowing you to weild huge guns , run faster and track enemys using thier scent and advanced sight system. i cannot stress how great far cry is and how it should definatly be one of your last xbox purchases (along side Half Life 2 and Ninja Gaiden Black!)before you (envitably) upgrade to a 360. great game smooth controls and amazing graphics with some cool touchs. definatly not your average shooter!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Shooter Paradice, 2 Sep 2005
    By W. King "will890" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I've played the demo levels to this game and i've been blown away by everything it has to offer. It's not a port from the PC, it's an entiely new game, and a better one I think.

    In my opinion, probably the most important thing about any type of game is the enviroment. Where you are and what it feels like effects the hole experience of the game, and the tropical island paradice you are traped on is certainly one of the most beautiful and detailed enviroments I have yet seen. The sun streaming through the thick trees, butterflys and birds fly through the colouful plants and foilage littering the island. To put it simply, it's gob smacking.

    And the conrols and game mechanics are equaly as fine. Moving around, aiming, shooting, setting traps, driving cars, boats etc, making stealth kills, the lot, it all feels natual, polished and solid.

    As i've only played a couple of demo levels I havn't yet experienced the best bits of the game, but from videos, the 'animal' powers you later obtain all seem rather solid and fun to use, something that PC gamers wont get to see.

    Overall, this can't really fail. If you like FPS's, then buy it, if you like sunshine, palmtrees and beautiful scenery, buy it, if you like mutating into a beast and going on a murderous rampage, then just buy it! Its brill, seriously!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant FPS, 10 Oct 2005
    By Ian Nind "nindie" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I have recently played Half Life 2 on my PC. I was really impressed and didn't think there would ever be another FPS to even come close, but Far Cry Instincts has changed my mind. It isn't quite as good as Half Life 2 but it is pretty close.
    The first thing to notice is that most of the graphics are top notch especially the outdoor scenery. The vehicles and enemies all look great as well.
    And speaking of vehicles, there are so many of them. On some levels they are littered all over the place, ranging from hang gliders to gunboats and armoured vehicles. They are not all easy to drive at first but after a while you get used to them. The hang glider was the one I had most trouble with and found it quite hard to pick off enemies whilst flying. On the other hand if everything was easy in a game it would be boring.
    Another good thing is that you can't just dash in and blast everything, sometimes you have to be stealthy and pick the enemies off one by one. On other occasions there were so many after you that I found it impossible to kill them all and just legged it to the next part of the game trying to avoid them.
    Another thing I liked was that you are restricted to just 3 weapons at a time, 1 light ie.. handgun, 1 heavier ie... machine gun and 1 more specialised ie... sniper rifle. You also are allowed grenades.
    I could go on for ages but lets just say that this is the best FPS that I have played on the XBOX so far. We will have to see what the soon to be released XBOX version of Half Life 2 is like, personally I can't wait.
