The best 1st person shooter yet!!

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2004
Review: Absolutley amazing graphics if you play the game on a good machine. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. Basically you're a former marine who is escorting the drop-dea gorgeous Valerie, a journalist, who is on her way to do a report on a...

Wow.....This game has got GAME!

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you like first person shooters, it doesn't get much better than this.
Review: If you want a game with some serious graphics before Doom3 and Half-life 2 come out, this is the new game to get.

I believe you will need the 9800 pro from ATI or the 5950 Geforce FX card, but ATI is better at DX9 games.

I can...

Great game

Date of Review:  Sep 13, 2005
Review: Great fun. If you have high speed internet, you will love the multiplayer gaming. I play it with Kinyo 5.1 surround headphones ($50) and an Audiology 2 zs soundcard.. Surround sound really makes the game fun. Heck, any FPS is way better with...

Arguably the best shooter ever made

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: Best FPS ever.
Review: I recently picked this game up because the laptop I had purchased for college was finally a computer powerful enough to run it. It is easily one of the best computer games I've ever played. The playing world is massive (you can literally walk to any...

Only for those who don't mind a difficult challenge.

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 2005
Review: Contrary to the above writer's opinion, I think that using the checkpoint save system instead of the "save anywhere" system is more thrilling, especially on higher difficulty settings. The really cheesy thing to do, is quick-saving after each kill,...

Beats Doom 3 and awaits HL2 challenge.

Date of Review:  Oct 18, 2004
The Bottom Line: Get this, there isn't another game as good looking and offering as much freedom as this does. Don't waste your money on Doom 3, get this instead.
Review: Beat the game in a week or so, maybe 2, average 3 hours a day (minus weekends), probably a good 30 hours in there. It normally doesn't take me long to finish a FPS (Doom 3 in 19 hours), but this game is BIG.

And being stupid, I forgot you...

Great game, highly recommend it!

Date of Review:  Oct 1, 2006
Review: This is the kind of game that as you play it you can't believe how much better and better it gets, including the plot and especially the physics. The latter is much like partaking in a real action 3d graphics game.
I highly recommend it.

Paradise Lost

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2004
The Bottom Line: See review
Review: As far as graphics go, Far Cry is the new standard. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and there's nothing currently that can compare with it. Even when compared with Doom 3 and Half Life 2 I think Far Cry will be able to stand up to them in terms...

It's a Far Cry from an ordinary game.

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you like Half-Life, Goldeneye and Metal Gear, this game is for you! The graphics are spectacular and the AI authentic. No gamer should go without this game!
Review: Let me start by saying I'm not usually a huge fan of first person shooters. Only a few have ever interested me. But if you like Half-Life, Bond, or Metal Gear, you'll love this game! The graphics are delicious, and the story isn't too bad. But...

Introducing the next generation of 3d-shooters.

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: A nice breath of air in the good ol' 3d shooter genre.
Review: I'm glad Far Cry came out. Because unlike Doom III or Half Life 2, this game actually came out on time, and is without a doubt the first of a new line of next generation shooters. For that fact alone, I think it is a must own. So despite the slap...
