There's a story here, a rising intensity, an immediacy that drives your every move. On the one hand, Far Cry 3 starts out with a really compelling crisis and momentum. Rather, it begins with a surprising intensity driven largely by the wonderfully maniacal pirate chief Vaas. Unlike Assassin's Creed III, however, the game doesn't get off to a really slow start. It's basically a light RPG mixed with a big wide-open shooter, and in many ways I think it actually feels more RPG-ish than Borderlands 2 with its never-ending supply of bigger and more preposterous firearms. All the while you gain experience and level up, unlocking weapons and skills and various other perks, and climbing towers to expand access to the map. You can search for hidden relics, discover the islands lore via lost letters, and unlock the backstory by finding memory chips. In fact, it's sort of a mixture of Red Dead Redemption, Assassin's Creed, and Uncharted, all mixed up and filtered into a first-person-shooter.ĪC3 and Far Cry 3 are very, very similar in terms of their open-world and side-mission mechanics.

If you ever wondered what Assassin's Creed III would be like if it were a first-person shooter set in a jungle island full of maniacs, well Far Cry 3 is here to help. Like Assassin's Creed with Guns and Actually Fun Combat Missions are varied, ranging from racing quests to hit jobs to animal hunts. There's all sorts of stuff to do-an overwhelming amount, actually. This also unlocks new fast travel locations, convenient weapon shops, and new missions. You can change the color of the map by capturing outposts. Likewise, the map is colored in to show which portions are under pirate control and which portions are under tribal control. The map starts out mostly blurred out, with only a handful of location icons in the areas you haven't explored, such as radio towers.Ĭlimbing a radio tower unlocks another segment of the map, giving you a great deal more information about roads, animals, plant-life, and new side missions. The island is beautiful and dangerous and a hell of a lot of fun to explore, which turns out to be a pretty big part of the game. Not to mention the deadly, annoying Komodo dragons. The game is wide open, spread out across a vast map of various-sized tropical islands populated by the "peaceful" Rakyat natives (who are anything but peaceful) and crazed, bloodthirsty pirates, as well as a menagerie of wildlife ranging from small deer to wild boar and the aforementioned tigers. You have to learn quick, and because this is a video game, you happen to be a very quick study at the art of slaughter. If you don't, they'll either be killed or sold into slavery.

I manage to kill him, but my gunfire has alerted the pirates. I've been marking targets with my camera, planning my next move, and now I'm shooting frantically at this hulking beast.
