    The best Far Cry game by a mile and arguably even the best game that Ubisoft has ever made.

    "Blood Dragon" is a silly nostalgic spoof of 80's action movies. Starring Michael Biehn as the voice of Rex Colton, the game pokes fun of almost every testosterone flick of the era.

    Blood Dragon is an absolute blast. It’s a romp through everything we know and love about classic sci-fi movies ranging from the Terminator-inspired world to level designs reminiscent of Aliens, Logan’s Run, and Predator, to references to Running Man, Empire Strikes Back, and Rocky.

It’s a romp through everything we know and love about classic sci-fi movies ranging from the Terminator-inspired world to level designs reminiscent of Aliens, Logan’s Run, and Predator, to references to Running Man, Empire Strikes Back, and Rocky. More than that, it’s a romp through everything we know and love about Far Cry ranging from it’s piggybacking off of the amazing Far Cry 3 gameplay and mechanics to it’s complete reimagining of the first Far Cry’s high-potential yet ultimately low-quality…everything. Blood Dragon manages to shine where the other games have not, and could not: it’s sense of humor. Dozens of times throughout I found myself laughing out loud, occasionally spitting out my drink or even laughing to tears. The AI voice communicating with our protagonist as well as the AI voice heard over enemy base loud speakers was nothing short of spectacular, entertaining in the best ways and I find myself wanting to start the game all over just to make sure I pick up on every word she says. Beyond her, the tutorials and the loading screens are an equal pleasure to experience as they not only keep your eyes on the screen, but keep you having fun which is the entire point of this spin-off. I reached 100% completion and collected all achievements (aside from the “headshot” one which I’ll have to go back through the campaign again to get) in under 5 hours. The game is far from hard but it’s never too easy to the point that I felt bored. Once I got the over-powered final weapon, I could make enemies explode just by looking at them (almost) and even then, I still had unadulterated fun. Basically, I can recommend Blood Dragon enough. The only downside I can think of is that the VHS-filter on your screen at all times may give you a headache as it started to get a little old for me but it certainly didn’t stop me from playing this game way too late into the night. Blood Dragon, like Far Cry 3, cannot be passed up on. Play, and play again.… Expand

    Presentation: 10/10 You are Rex Power Colt, cyber commando and veteran of Vietnam War II. You are the ultimate badass and it's your job to liberate an island from the control of rogue soldier Colonel Sloan before he carries out his plan for world domination. If that sounds like something you would read on the back of a cheesy 80's action movie VHS sleeve that's because Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is exactly that. An R-rated, interactive 80's action movie. An excellent adventure with countless nods to all things 80's action that shouldn't be missed by anyone with a soft spot for that particular by-gone era of action entertainment.

    Gameplay: 9/10 The controls are standard. If you have played Far Cry 3 or any modern shooters you should feel right at home. The bulk of the game is free-roaming a huge island, liberating garrisons, releasing hostages, and hunting animals while slowly gaining skills and weapon upgrades that make you more powerful. By the end of the game you are the "ultimate badass" and nearly invincible as long as you aren't too wreckless. This may break the game for some but being the so over powered in a sandbox is something lacking in today's world that strives for the hyper-realistic experience. A few old-school cheat codes would have been welcome.

    Graphics: 8/10 Blood Dragon is a solid game. Despite constant flashes of neon, lasers, and explosions, all going on at once I never experienced a dip in frame-rate. Speaking of neon, the game is filled with it and it brings a unique, electric feel to the game. It's constantly night due to the fact that "the apocalypse has had an apocalypse" so the world of Blood Dragon has a constant dust cloud to keep the sun out. This is all for the better though. It allows for some of the coolest fire fights I've ever seen in a video game. When the action heats up with lasers and explosions contrasting the dark red sky makes for a sight unique to Blood Dragon and one not to miss.

    Sound: 10/10 From Rocky, to Rambo, to Blade Runner, to Terminator all these classics are represented in the soundtrack and they only add to the feeling that you are participating in the plot an 80's action movie. The soudtrack is awesome! The voice acting is great too. The quality is what you would expect but the script is what stands out. Rex Power Colt could easily be the new king of one-liners. I know he's at least giving Duke Nukem a run for his money. I dare you not to at least smile, if not laugh out loud multiple times during the story. It's cheesy good humor.

    Value: 6/10 If you are a fan of the 80's action scene then you won't feel the $15 price tag. It's a fair price for the quality of the game your getting. If you aren't a fan, then pass for now. I think everyone should experience this game but all but die hard fans of the subject material should wait for a price drop. It's a short experience, but open-ended, you can't miss any achievements and to 100% the entire game can take just under 6 hours if you rush it. I urge you not to though. This is a game I suggest either crawling through to soak in all the 80's nostalgia it has to offer or replaying a few times to replay the games best parts. With this much service to fun-loving fans of all things 80's this game is about as good as it gets. By the time you hit 100% you'll have seen all Blood Dragon has to offer. A multiplayer or co-op option would have been nice, but maybe just a longer story and more things to do or unlock would have sufficed.

    For some, the best way to describe this game would be to say it's Far Cry 3, scaled down, reskinned, then turned up to 11. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a simple, stupid, shallow good time. It's not out to impress anyone with technical prowess, deep story, or innovative gameplay. All of these things come naturally enough for Blood Dragon. In an industry that has been spoiled with oscar worthy stories destined to sit on the same shelf as bargain bin shovelware, all for the same $60 asking price, Blood Dragon is one of the most pleasant surprises in a long time. Ubisoft has proved all that is old and boring can be new and exciting again. Here's to hoping development on Blood Dragon 2: Back for Blood gets underway in the near future.

    I give it an 9/10.    … Expand

    "Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon" is an homage/parody of 80's Hollywood sci-fi flicks. Everything from "The Terminator" to "Robocop" are referenced throughout in a tongue-in-cheek way.

The synthesizer soundtrack, VHS-style "tracking" bar and the title's font all combine to make a direct throwback to the "Decade of Excess". You play as Rex Colt (voiced by Michael "Kyle Reese" Biehn), a cyborg soldier who is recruited to take down his former superior who is now a rogue Colonel that wants to destroy the world. The game plays just like "Far Cry 3" but with a short campaign, only three different side-missions and only one vehicle to mount. Oh, and the blood dragons, which can be avoided or used as allies. You can hunt animals, rescue captured scientists, take down outposts or find three types of collectibles (VHS tapes, TV's and Letters). However, there are is no skill tree in "Blood Dragon". You earn experience points as you progress in the game which automatically levels you up. This stand alone DLC is about $5 too much (it costs 15 dollars), but it is a lot of fun, especially if you're a child of the 80's. So if you like "Far Cry 3" and 80's Hollywood action flicks as well as their cheap knock offs, then "Blood Dragon" should belong in your library.… Expand

Thankfully the story isn't very long and like Far Cry 3 you are free to roam the map after the campaign is complete to do the side missions and take over enemy outposts. But it also has the same problems that Far Cry 3 had like incomplete multiplayer and a few lags and freezes every now and then. It's worth the ten or fifteen bucks for the purchase.… Expand

    I feel safe saying this game is worth more than its 15$ price. The storyline is surprisingly deep, and the characters are memorable. The 80s cyborg style goes all out, but doesn't go over the top to affect the gameplay. My only complaint is how quickly I was able to beat it, but those hours were enjoyable. I hope Ubisoft works off of this idea, and makes a full-fledged retail game, with co-op.

    This game is a $15 investment to relive the nostalgia we so desperately didn't want to relive. Blood Dragon captures the 80's perfectly and plays just as greatly as Far Cry 3 did. Though it was a bit short and there's not as much replay value after it's done as there was in FC3, it is still a hilarious little standalone expansion everyone should be getting.

For those who didn't take a look at that one, it was a lighthearted, essentially just-for-fun romp full of laughs and moments to remember just for the sheer hilarity. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon was made apparently for the same reasons. So let's take a look at it. Summarizing the game is relatively easy: take every single 1980s action movie between grades A+ and D-, pull all of the one-liners, dialogue tropes, and situation comedy, and blend them together while mixing in the Far Cry 3 engine and design, then retro it back to 80's video game design norms and you get...Blood Dragon. If this sounds critical, it's not meant to: the game is meant to just be plain fun, and it lives up to it. If you were a fan of movies like Robocop, Outland, and a whole slew of movies too bad to remember (mainly because they were bad movies, not in spite of it), then Blood Dragon was made for you: it'll take you on a trip down that memory lane and keep you in stitches every step of the way. The game developers also deserve congratulations because they didn't go too far, and it would've been so easy. While the cinematics harken back to 1980s game animations, the game itself uses the graphics engine and mechanics of Far Cry 3, so all of that polished smoothness doesn't go to waste. It's not perfect, though. First, the game's color palette gets tiring fast; everything is in a red overcast, just like innumerable 80's postapocalyptic films, but for a game designed to last several hours, you're likely to end up with retina fatigue. The other hitch for Blood Dragon is uneven pacing and difficulty. The difficulty pendulum swings rapidly and often without warning, which can saddle players with a situation harder than expected. But given the superhero mechanics at work in the game, this is usually only a temporary setback. Overall, Blood Dragon is everything you remember and love about 80s sci-fi action films: over the top everything, a wisecracking hero, implausible technologies, way too much neon, and plots that don't get a lot of explanation...but don't really need it anyway. A well-enjoyed 8 to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, a trip down memory lane...with lasers...and dinosaurs.… Expand
