    The third part of the Far Cry game series is a good game with a bunch of cons, but looking at what happened to the subsequent parts is one of the best parts! You can play. Meow:)

    This game is very cool you have to crafting things like weapon holsters, backpack, wallets to make new stuff, but to make it you need to hunt animals and skin them to upgrade your stuff, and crafting is easier than it seems, you can also craft medicines to cure you and stuff like that.

    The graphics for that time is really great, the game is really fun, there are very many animals from animals like boar, deer, bear, tiger, buffalo, leopard to sea animals like turtles, sharks, etc.

    In the game you upgrade your skills with one thing and I don't want to spoil that,

    Overall this game is overall fantastic, everything is great for the time, the boss fights are fun, you just won't stop enjoying the game, and I just can't find one downside to this game, this game is an absolute masterpiece.    … Expand

    One of the rarest games that makes that connection with player. And graphics by time was great too. Onky side missions were boring, but that didn't affect gameplay.

    I’m gonna start right off the bat with whom this game is for. Do you like weapons? Do you like drugs and dubstep? Do you happen to be an antisocial person attending an educational institution with an unending urge to end the existence of other people in said institution?

    Play Far Cry 3 instead of doing something stupid, like listening to dubstep.

    Best game of the series. With its story and gameplay, it had a special place when it was released. But I can't say the same for the games that came after the third game.

    This is to me the theoretical maximum of any game with the ubisoft formula, breaks my heart how this sagas features were so brutalized by the newer games.

Игра оставила положительные эмоции. Правда к геймплею есть вопросы, так как он немного однообразен и надоедает кататься по большой карте, зачищая её.Отличная игра, достойная первой части серии.

    A CLASSIC, the graphics obviously is basic, old game, but that's the best Far Cry, gameplay, lore, characters, maps, exploring, all of this game is really good, except for the company, if you want to play Ubisoft games, just play the classics. They lost themselves and just releases games that are bad copies of each other.

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    O jogo é muito bom até o momento da morte do Vaas, a narrativa do Jason continua boa mas a repetição fica mais aparente ainda e o vilão (que me esqueci o nome) é um "downgrade" incrível quando comparado ao Vaas.

    Not perfect, but one of the best games ever made. Gameplay and story work together in an unmatched way, even if the story and pacing isn´t flawless. No wonder so many games are copying this, and not being as great as FC3. It´s great, but impossible to replicate.

    O jogo é ótimo, uma experiência que me agradou muito na época em que tive a oportunidade de finalizar, o melhor da saga sem sombra de dúvidas, apesar de ter envelhecido mal em questão gráfica, um remaster de qualidade seria bom, já que a versão "classic edition" não agradou muito boa parte dos jogadores. Nota: o melhor vilão dos games está nesse jogo
