I started out loving this game. It had so much of what I'd been missing. Sure, it looks fantastic, but it also plays well and is satisfyingly long; each of the 20 levels should take you about an hour or more to play through, if you don't get risky and keep your head down. But I hit a few level design roadblocks that, combined with the Spartan save game system, made for some numbing repetition of load, die, load, die, load, die, ad nauseum, until I finally figured out the correct strategy. If Far Cry had manual saves, even a limited number per area or for the whole game, I would have been overjoyed. I really hope they add this in a patch, or perhaps add it as an unlockable feature.

Far Cry Instincts is a must-play for anyone with a remote interest in shooters. The new feral abilities and completely redesigned single player experience mean that even gamers who played the heck out of the PC version will find value in this title. Graphically, the developers have clearly pushed the Xbox to its limit. Whatever quirks this game exhibits (fairly long load times and sporadic pop-in) are a product of trying to do too much on aging hardware. The map editor, multiplayer, and feral melee attack are reason enough to give this game a try, so stop reading and join the hunt.

Though it offers little that's new, what really matters is if the game's still fun, which FCIE most definitely is. Slaughtering things with feral powers is always enjoyable, and the expanded multiplayer options help to keep this game entertaining long after you blaze through the new single player content. If you're thinking of buying this game, consider the following. If you never played FCI before and are looking for a new shooter experience, by all means get this game. If you were a big fan of FCI and are really into map modding, you'll appreciate FCIE's expanded options. If you were one of the many waiting for a true sequel to FCI, however, keep waiting.

Ubisoft is a very talented development studio; one of the best in the world. Far Cry Vengeance does not represent even half of the company's potential. I can only imagine that the franchise's originator, Crytek Studios, is looking at this port and laughing; or maybe crying. If you want an action-filled FPS, get Call of Duty 3. And if you just want something pretty to look at, you're better off with Red Steel.

Now that Ubisoft has finally announced a release date for Far Cry 6, we have another four months to kill before we have a bunch of new bad guys to kill. In the meantime, why not look back over the 17-year history of the series to see what IGN's reviewers have thought of the often tropical, sometimes prehistoric, and always weird open-world shooter series at every step along the way?
