    A truly mind blowing repetition of Far Cry 3... so lots of repetitive missions, driving around in underwhelming vehicles, crafting stuff out the dead bodies of endangered species you have casually murdered and climbing up towers to press a button (because apparently you are the only person that can can climb and switch on buttons). So, you know, if you thought that was all rather whizzyA truly mind blowing repetition of Far Cry 3... so lots of repetitive missions, driving around in underwhelming vehicles, crafting stuff out the dead bodies of endangered species you have casually murdered and climbing up towers to press a button (because apparently you are the only person that can can climb and switch on buttons). So, you know, if you thought that was all rather whizzy and exciting last time round then you might enjoy this. Otherwise you might as well replay Far Cry 3 and save your money for a next gen console.… Expand

    I wanted to love this game but i just couldn't. Its got good graphics and an amazing world but when i sat back and thought about it that just wasn't enough. The story wasn't that engaging due to the main villain not being a major threat for more then half the game. The game was also full of annoying characters and boring quests. Its just OK.

    First off let me say that the Xbox 360 version is very buggy. The game usually crashes every 30 minutes and dips below 20 FPS occasionally. I have plugged a good amount of hours into the game and honestly this game is not worth $60.00. This game is pretty much Far Cry 3 with some sparkling glimmer splattered all over it. A few new guns, a few new vehicles, and a new environment. That isFirst off let me say that the Xbox 360 version is very buggy.

Why can't we have a Blackhawk or a Cessna to fly especially since they showcase their appearance over and over again. The story is bad! There is absolutely no character development between your character and the rest in the story. However, I will say that Pagin Min is a good villain (Despite only showing himself for less than half of the game). The hunting system is also terrible and frustrating at times. Every time I want to go hunting for a specific animal, I would go to their location and they would usually never spawn. I would have to sit for a long time just to see if the animal would spawn at all. I will say that the environment is relatively beautiful and good to look at from time to time. Overall, I would recommend that you either wait for the price to drop or skip the game entirely.… Expand

    Although I had eagerly anticipated this game for months, and was surprised at the relatively quick release date (less than two years), following the ultra-successful Far Cry 3, it's now easy to see why Ubisoft was able to develop this next gen, next entry in the series in such a short time...

By cutting corners, minimizing new development, and even - in some cases - apparently recycling content (eg, sound effects - 'were coming in from the east'! - that sounds familiar). In some cases, when circling terrain areas in the game, I noticed elements that were downright sloppy and should not have been accepted (textures badly applied to terrain, improper mapping, etc).

    But in terms of the overall game, all of that is relatively minor compared to the lack of real thought that went into this entry. Filled to the brim with barely interesting characters, pointless quests that add very little to the game, and improper mechanics, the game varies between being an interesting and somewhat fun FPS, and a frustrating and muddled attempt at rehashing the previous entry in the series. There's little strategy nor fun, for example, in staggering through the jungle while 'on a trip', nor much enjoyment in suddenly being run over out of the blue by a truck or surrounded by 20 enemies that you have no hope of defeating, nor any possibility of developing a strategy to defeat. Everything about this felt like it was an extension of Far Cry 3 - yet somehow nowhere near as enjoyable or fleshed out.

    You can always pinpoint that one moment when a company reaches it's apex in game development, and for Ubisoft, that may have been the masterpiece that was Far Cry 3. And while that game represented all that could be achieved when a company strives for the very best, Far Cry 4 may well represent the beginning of the slow decline of Ubisoft, that point when the company has suddenly jumped the shark, and will never get back to the essence of their earlier success. Too bad - Far Cry 3 was fantastic game.... Far Cry 4, in comparison, is a monumental disappointment.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far Cry 4 is a good game with a lot of content to enjoy and one of the better antagonists you will find in gaming this generation. But there are some significant issues with it as well...

    First, do NOT purchase this game for the Xbox 360. I was late to upgrade to an Xbox One, but when I Youtubed the differences between graphics for this game on 360 versus on XONE...let's just say the differences are SUBSTANTIAL. Having now upgraded to the Xbox One, the buyer's remorse is immediate. The draw distance on the 360 version is laughably low, and the distant mountains look like you're viewing them with eyes full of saline solution. Textures look muddy and bleak. I am no graphics whore, but when the differences are so stark, go with the Xbox One version or, if you only have a 360 for now, WAIT until you upgrade to the One to play this game.

    As far as content and story goes, both are perfectly adequate to keep you interested through the campaign. That being said, the content is very similar to that of Far Cry 3. FC3 was a great game, so that's not a bad thing, to be sure, but it is a little disappointing that it's really only the characters and setting that set this iteration apart from its predecessor. As with any Ubisoft game (Assassin's Creed or Far Cry series), there is a LOT of repetition, especially in the side quests and activities.

    And finally, the story itself. Pagan Min is a wonderful antagonist, charismatic and extremely well voice-acted. I wish that Ubisoft had seen fit to include him in the game more than he was, because he is the only character worth praising. Ajay is a decent protagonist, nowhere near the worst in a game, but at the same time he is not very interesting either. The two rebels you work with throughout the game are an absolute chore to deal with, and when the game gives you the mission where you decide to kill one of them, I found myself wishing I could go with Option C and kill the both of them.

    A good game, but not a great game. And absolutely buy it for the Xbox One if you have any inclination to upgrade to that system in the future.    … Expand
