    Brought me back to the epic Far Cry original, renovated with HD scenes. I just love the Far Cry series. And playing this Far Cry refreshed my memories of old Far Cry. Great job Ubisoft!

    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. 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 doi 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.… Expand

    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.

    I've developed for the PS3 myself and I can attest to what adriottech is said. If this is the same old engine that has been re-factored then it's an impressive feat. With release price of 10$ I'm guessing it was done by a small team to keep costs low.
    And it's not even just about the low 256MB RAM on the PS3. Back in 2004 games were made to run on a single processor core.

    And it's not even just about the low 256MB RAM on the PS3. Back in 2004 games were made to run on a single processor core. The PS3 on the other hand is vastly different, with its "cell" multi-core microprocessor architecture and expects games to be designed in the modern multithreaded fashion.

    Maybe I'm just biased; it reminds of the old times and they've kept the changes to a minimum. So I'm giving it an 8. I just wish they retained the multiplayer mode :)    … Expand

    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.
