About the Game:
After escorting an inquisitive journalist to a remote tropical island, Jack Carver finds himself stranded in paradise, hunted by an unrelenting team of highly trained mercenaries. As Jack, you'll explore a vast island chain rendered in exquisite detail through state-of-the-art graphic technology. Outwit hordes of cunning mercenaries, snipe with precision from more than a kilometer away, and use every vehicle, weapon, and strategy at your disposal to outlast the island's evils and escape with your life.


Game Features:

Scope Out The Tropics

  • Far Cry's unprecedented 1.2 km draw distance elevates the art of sniping and long-range gameplay to new levels of intensity.

Abuse Your Freedoms

  • Take cover in dense foliage, submerge yourself underwater, commandeer assault vehicles-even take flight to stay alive.

Create Your Own Slice Of Paradise

  • Build your own maps, reconstruct game levels, and switch from editing to playing on the fly with the unbelievably intuitive Sandbox Editor.

Shoot To Kill

  • Finally, AI that's actually intelligent. Enemies react in real-time, take cover, call in reinforcements, and use advanced group formation tactics to take you out.

Brave The Shade

  • Discover a new breed of tropical terror within murky caverns, ruins, swamps, compounds, fortifications, and genetic laboratories.

Wage War Online

  • Engage in explosive island warfare with up to 20 players in Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and the all-new Assault Mode.

"Sure, it looks fantastic, but it also plays well and is satisfyingly long..."
