Freelance mariner Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago, a brash female reporter named Valerie had offered him an incredible sum of cash to take her to this unspoiled paradise. Shortly after docking, however, Jack's boat was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming about the island. With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and the gorgeous Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island, with nothing but a gun and his wits to survive. But the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become. [Ubi Soft]… Expand

"On the one hand we have the brilliant graphics, excellent physics and devious AI, while on the other we have the disappointing sound department, a few glitches in the AI, the save system that will probably not be to everyone’s liking and the system requirements which can prove too great for some gamers out there." ...

"Let me make this clear, through capitalization: ANY GAME THAT DOES NOT SAVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU KILL A BOSS AND SEE THE ENSUING CUTSCENE HAS A BROKEN SAVE-GAME SYSTEM. I don’t care if it’s supposed to make the game more intense, it’s stupid, moronic, ridiculous, pointless and otherwise detrimental to the overall quality of the game." ... Read full review

One bad-ass mother of a game. But you had better have one mother of a rig to play it right. Oh come on...take a bite, baby.

The graphics are the best there is out there, both indoors and outdoors, especially if you have a decently fast card supporting directx9.0b effects, and the physics are great too. Combine the engine, the AI, and the rest of the overall gameplay and you definitely have the best FPS experience in a few years. The mutliplayer could be better, but they are supporting mods heavily. This, the occasional AI bugs, and lack of an easy quicksave system just barely prevent this from receiving a 10.… Expand

This is the first game I played from start to finish. Nostalgic memories connect me with this game, so I can not be objective.
Dignity:
1)This is the first game I played from start to finish. Nostalgic memories connect me with this game, so I can not be objective.
Dignity:
1) Not bad for the time schedule, comparable to Half-Life 2 or Medal of Honor: Airborne.
2) Good weapon physics and, albeit minimal, available variety of weapons.
3) Smart enough AI for the shooters of the time.
Disadvantages:
1) The plot is very boring and banal. Something like that, a tough guy fights alone against the crowd and wins.
2) Characters are very boring. The main character is just a doll with a gun in his hand, not giving out any emotions.
From myself: I think the game is suitable for those who either want to know how such a great franchise like Far Cry began, or for those who love old (not very old, but not new) shooters.… Expand

I run FC5Completed FC 1-4, Primal, Blood Dragon. Never had a problem.
I run a smooth Windows7 that agrees with everything I've given it.
I run FC5 first time and it crashes.
I run a second time and it runs like butter through a waffle iron.
I play the opening sequence and wonder what the point is. Scripted openings that are insanely difficult because there is no preparation, no understanding of the mechanics, no knowledge of how anything works is retarded.
I'm sure it's fun like all the other FC games after you get past the forced F U start. What's the point? I wish devs would stop trying to make their games a "who's D!ck is bigger" opening.… Expand
