    PlayStation owners didn't get this on console for a decade. We didn't miss much. [May 2014, p83]

    Far Cry is a series that’s gone on to much better things since the flawed original, and revisiting it 10 years later almost feels like pointing and laughing at the afflicted.

    i did not play the original far cry. i did play fc3 and loved it. i tried fc2 and was unimpressed with all the driving and map reading. iti did not play the original far cry. i did play fc3 and loved it. i tried fc2 and was unimpressed with all the driving and map reading. it was okay, but it didn't seem nearly as fun as fc3. i was skeptical about downloading fc classic, but i did anyway. for the life of me i cannot see how this wasn't well received by some. this game was an absolute blast. i can't wait for ubi to do a fc4. i am not a ubi shill btw. i do not like all their stuff, but they have made quite a few good games. this one is cheap, hell i can't remember but maybe 10 or 15 dollar download on ps. i know each to his own and people vary, but for god's sake this game was fun as hell for me. don't always believe the reviews.

    But It, It gives old school feeling that I was 10 years old and hardly forgettable. Really nice landscapes.
    If they used the same code base, it is a wonderful job to make it working on PS3.
    Original Game used 500-600 MBs of RAM, I wonder how they have managed in just 256 RAM.

    Gameplay:
    The game is nearly unplayable. Although, one does have to take into account the age of the game itself and the way games were designed back when they were not mainstream. They were tough; requiring skill, memorization, perseverance, and some luck. The AI is smart, and will shoot the instant they see you. It's annoying being prone and stealthy in this game, especially since it's useless. The enemy can spot you from a mile away, and that is no exaggeration. They can also inexplicably hit you with an automatic rifle from a mile away, even if you are covered by bushes. It's absolutely rediculous and frustrating. The driving mechanics are horrendous. It's more efficient to walk than even attempt to control a vehicle. In short, the entire game's control scheme is awkward. This game is definitely challenging, but it will frustrate you like no other game has.

    Story:
    The story is lackluster. There's little to no character development for any characters, the plot is cliché and predictable. However, you can't expect much from such an old title. Be warned: Do not expect a brilliant storyline.

    Graphics:
    Back in 2004, Far Cry set a milestone in visual quality. In 2014, not so much. Taking into account that it is a decade-old game, I didn't expect it to look mind-blowing. However, the carelessness of this "HD remake" is palpable. There is constant frame rate drops and graphical pop-in. Even the audio glitches out, forcing you to play a muted game on occasions.

    Verdict:
    I recommend that you do NOT purchase this game. Play the original on PC or wait until the game is on sale. This "remake" was rushed and poorly optimized. The game locked up my PS3 on FOUR separate occasions, forcing me to completely shut my console off. If you are a Far Cry 3 fan, do not purchase this game. It's a very different experience. If you are seeking a challenging FPS, this is your game. It's also good to explore older titles; it'll make you have an appreciation for modern video games.

    o jogo continua a mesma bosta, a gameplay é mediana e os graficos são medianos também, o checkpoint é colocado onde você morre e isso éo jogo continua a mesma bosta, a gameplay é mediana e os graficos são medianos também, o checkpoint é colocado onde você morre e isso é irritante, você toma tiro de inimigos que não consegue ver, além disso a mira não gruda no inimigo, isso é um erro já que no ps3 não existe mouse, e o que eu acho o pior de tudo, os loadings são demorados e a tela de pressionar start demora pra carregar e quando o jogo salva também demora pra carregar( a tela chega a congelar durante gameplay) após essa Review o jogo travou duas vezes

    Novas informações:o jogo travou no final e também ficou sem audio no final, a nota vai de 3 pra 2

    A f****** so-called "remastered" is actually way worse than the PC version. The budget from remastering this games is almost non-existenceA f****** so-called "remastered" is actually way worse than the PC version. The budget from remastering this games is almost non-existence because the Main Menu and the Player UI, the Iron Sight implementation, and the other stuff that's ported to the PS3 is extremely underwhelming and frustrating especially if you're going for full 100% achievement to the game.

    My fricking issue with this game:
    1.) "Remastered" game with purely terrible graphics.
    2.) Some Textures suddenly disappeared to the game while moving.
    2.) Worst Controller Input Lag imaginable. Way worse than Rockstar's GTA 4 on PS3.
    3.) The same pinpoint-accurate Easy enemies from the PC version and can spot you more than a half-mile away. Just like Sniper Elite 2 & 3.
    4.) Stupidest Trophy Implementation ever made. Why go into the war zone with no weapons and go full gung-ho until the next level? Do not die while the gate to the next level is being unlocked alongside with the most pinpoint-accurate Enemies ganging up on you? Are you fcking kidding me? I rather play Grounded Mode on The Last of Us than this bullcrap.

    Who ported this garbage?
