At first,Far Cryseems to be just another FPS. But once we put that first impression aside, we're faced with an incredible action game, which utilizes the surprisingly vast open-world environment to its fullest extent. The line of sight only reaches, according to the game's creators, more than 800 meters, leaving other titles far behind as we observe the fabulous exotic bays or the overgrown jungle, which impress with the amount of detail and quality of their images.
The main character, a former Green Beret, Jack Carver, wanted to break away from big city life and established a small shipping business in the South Pacific. He was approached by a beautiful reporter and asked to take her to Micronesia. Obviously living by the old saying: you don't say "no" to a lady, our character accepts the job, as it's nothing more than a simple trip.
Unfortunately, as soon as they arrive, their ship is shot up and sunk by unknown assailants, but a group of well-armed militants, their handsome client is gone, and Jack himself is left at the mercy of the island's inhabitants. Suffice it to say that this includes more than just hungry animals, and soon his only main goal is to survive and find a way out of this hell on earth.
