    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.

    Ubisoft should really consider taking this remake out of the market! Or the makers of the original should sue them!
    I played through the    Ubisoft should really consider taking this remake out of the market! Or the makers of the original should sue them!
    I played through the first 5 minutes of the demo and I really couldn't stand it! The amazing opening menu (with the fly through of the farcry island in the background) of the original has been replaced with a dumb powerpoint like menu. And once you get into the game, I couldn't control my character for the first 15 seconds, frame rate drops, water looks like AOE2, and to top it all i was on an inflated boat and it moves like the coins on a chessboard. The point where I quit the game was when I shot a dude with a P90 , for which he went flying like 5 RPGs hit him. Its painstakingly hilarious that i regret downloading the trial from PSN in the first place. It was 2.5 gigs :(    … Full Review »

    DO NOT BUY THIS. this so-called "HD remake" is godawful. I didnt expect this game to rock my world, graphically, but I at least expected it toDO NOT BUY THIS. this so-called "HD remake" is godawful. I didnt expect this game to rock my world, graphically, but I at least expected it to run smoothely. 60 frames per second seemed like a no brainier, but instead we get sub 30fps. im not joking. the framerate is terrible. I also did not expect there to be such RAMPANT pop in textures and objects and unacceptable jaggies. literally, the grass ten feet in front of you, constantly pops in. every waking second of the game is filled with horrible pop-in all over your screen.

    was ANY effort put into making this version look better than the original? at least with the horrible port of crysis 3, the devs had somewhat of an excuse for stability issues on consoles, but there is NO REASON WHATSOEVER that this TEN YEAR OLD game should be making my PS3 practically melt.

    oh, and gameplay wise the controls feel sluggish, with terrible deadzones. glitches, both gameplay and visual wise are rampant as well.

    this is, without a doubt, the worst "remaster" I have ever seen of an old game. no effort was put into it. no ****s were given. it suddenly makes sense why this game was so quickly announced and shoved onto PSN and xbox live. stay way. just download the original on PC. it will probably bec heaper and i promise that no matter how ghetto and outdated your rig is, it will decimate this abysmal port.    … Full Review »

    Very average remake of a classic FPS shooter on tropical islands. I remember this game looked so good back in 2004, but this HD remakeVery average remake of a classic FPS shooter on tropical islands. I remember this game looked so good back in 2004, but this HD remake actually looks worse in many ways. It suffers from a frame drops, AI glitches and bugs, terrain is just rising from the ground as you run towards it, and water is something i would call a mess of colors and textures. I finished the game in 8 hours and had fun with my old favourite game, but everyone else should play this also only to refresh their memory of a good old times spent with this beautiful game, which was sadly pretty screwed up with this PS3 rmk.… Full Review »
