Far Cry 1 - Gamers Guide

Far Cry 1 

Far Cry is a 2004 first-person shooter game developed by Crytek and published by Ubisoft. It is the first installment in the Far Cry series, followed by 2008's Far Cry 2. Set on a mysterious tropical archipelago, Far Cry follows Jack Carver, a former American special forces operative, as he searches for a journalist who went missing shortly after their boat was destroyed by mercenaries. As Jack explores the island, he begins to discover the horrific genetic experiments being conducted on the local wildlife and must confront the mad scientist behind them. The game is played from a first-person view and allows the player to use various weapons and tools as well as take advantage of their environments to eliminate enemies. The game was released for Microsoft Windows in March 2004 and for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 a decade later.

Far Cry was praised for its visuals, gameplay, and the level of freedom given to players. The game was also a commercial success, selling over 730,000 units within four months of release and over 2.5 million units in its lifetime. The success of Far Cry led to several stand-alone sequels developed by Ubisoft, as well as remakes: Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts: Predator. A loose film adaptation was released in 2008.
