Sure it was fairly enjoyable but it was not without its share of issues. It was much more realistic experience and certainly took itself more seriously. Instead the game took you into the politically charged African landscape. Steven Dorff’s voice acting was gone along with Jack Carver’s feral powers. When Far Cry 2 arrived on the scene on the Xbox 360, it introduced us to an open world environment that was embraced by many. Some of those custom made maps were some of the more enjoyable shooter maps I have played even to this day. Not to mention, the games map editor exposed us to endless possibilities as far as multiplayer maps were concerned. Despite this, it was undoubtedly a game I, and some of our staff here at COG, enjoyed immensely and I spent many hours playing the single player and online multiplayer modes. There were some crazy zombie-like creatures, the gameplay was linear, and everything was over the top. The original Far Cry, released on the original Xbox, introduced us to Jack Carver and all his feral powers.

For those of you who did not get a chance to check out the E3 demo from the Ubisoft press conference in 2011, here it is: The E3 demo took place on a tropical island and featured some segments that seemed to be a drastic departure from the previous Far Cry games. At the time, the demo introduced us to the game’s main protagonist, Jason Brody, and the game’s twisted, insane, reckless and all around troubled villain, “Voss”. Having played the previous Far Cry games on the original Xbox and Xbox 360, I was looking forward to checking out how far along the game had come since the E3 demo touched down last year. Recently, Canadian Online Gamers was invited to Ubisoft Montreal Studios to check out a single player hands off demo of Ubisoft’s Far Cry 3, which is slated to arrive September 4 th of this year.
