Sounds cool. I doubt I will be getting this anytime soon but it is on my list of stuff I will eventually play. I'm surprised you are not getting the new Assassins Creed.

So Farcry 3 good game in fact I would go as far to say great game.

Think of it as a mix of the first half of Crysis (before the frelling aliens) and Just Cause 2 with the best bits of Farcry 2 thrown in. The most annoying thing about Farcry 2 was the fact that check points respawned when you got 10 feet away. Now if you clear a check point you capture it like Just Cause 2 and it gets populated by friendlies.

You can fast travel to any check point you have captured and you can restock with ammo or swap out weapons at the same time so you don't spent loads of time travelling.

The game play is really good AI is quite challenging on medium but if to much you can change the difficulty in game (nice) and you can save it whenever you like (even better). You start with nothing and have to craft ever thing even a wallet to keep you money in!

The map is massive but very much like Farcry 1 or Just Cause 2 it is a tropical paradise just be careful to avoid Tigers in the jungle they are f**kers! The graphics truly are spectacular it looks amazing and the physics are pretty good too.

This is also a multiplayer game with the normal death match shit but you can do full co-op campaign which should be fun.

Speaking of co-op we must do lan night soon person?

So after putting in some time on Farcry 3, here are my thoughts:

What I like
- Looks gorgeous and runs surprisingly well
- Massive game world with lots to explore
- Enjoyable gunplay
- Takedowns are awesome Especially when you get some of the latter skills unlocked
- For the most part, is an improvement over its predecessor
- Stealth is fun and very viable with the addition of takedowns

What I don't like
- Crafting. Seems good at first, but it's over and done with too quickly and ultimately a bit lacklustre. Plus, other than a health syringe I have never had the need or desire to craft any other type of syringe - so what's the point?
- Minimap/HUD. It's too obtrusive - it's not even in the corner of the damn screen! Also, the full map requires you to pause the game, unlike the physical game map in Farcry 2 was much better.
- Radio towers. Why? Is this Assassin's Creed?
- Some terrible story missions with 'press this button now' mechanics - the bane of all games, which really ruins the immersion and pace
- Money/upgrades. You get way too much money and have bog all to spend it on.
- Gets a bit tedious after a while (with reference to checkpoints and radio towers mainly).
- Majority of side-quests are pointless and very boring
