In *Far Cry 3* you play Jason, part of a group of American tourists who have
been captured by sadistic pirates on a tropical island. You escape, and are
saved by a native tribe, who set you on the path of becoming a warrior who
can rescue your friends from the sadistic pirates. It's an open world
adventure on an island that is absolutely packed with things to do. You
uncover Far Cry 3's island map by climbing 18 radio towers, each of which
uncovers more objectives and allows you to get better weapons. Once
activated, you zip-line back to the ground. you will meet lots of animals,
many deadly, in the jungle. Hunting these, as well as collecting plants,
allows you to craft new items that open up new skills. You have to scope out
and conquer Pirate outposts, putting them in the hands of the friendly
natives, and giving you safe-houses. Far Cry 3 gives you tons of vehicles and
hand-gliders to speed your travel around the island, as well as a fast travel
option, so you can quickly jump to any of your safe-houses. Far Cry 3 is a
violent game with a mix of stealth and shootouts. There are lots of missions
and side missions, so many that it's almost impossible not to get
sidetracked as you're making your way around the island. The outpost
missions are excellent mixes of strategy, stealth and brute force, and are
very satisfying. You have lots of tools and strategies open to you: from
silenced pistols and landmines, to caged animals and Rambo-like explosive
arrows. As you craft plants and animal hides and earn experience points, you
will learn new skills, opening up new abilities. You have flexibility in how
you develop Jason's skills, to suit your play style. Far Cry 3's graphics
are excellent – the island is really pretty, and gets scary after dark.
Objects you can interact with always glow gently, so they are easier to see.
Sound effects are really effective. The jungle is alive with animal sounds,
and the old vehicles you find are suitable rattly. The only criticism I have
is that the speech of the pirate goons tends to repeat. It's often very
funny, but the repetition makes the game less immersive. Far Cry 3 is a great
adventure sandbox. The island is really full of things to do, and you have a
lot of freedom. While it shares stealth with Dishonored and Hitman, the open
world sets it apart. The story gets you from the outset, and you really feel
like a lost tourist to begin with, but soon begin to feel at home in the
jungle, as a warrior against the pirates. * Far Cry 3 takes the ideas of the
previous games and pretty much perfects them. It's a thrilling adventure
game with one of the most inviting and open worlds of any video
game.*Download *Far Cry 3* in Softonic
