Graphics and soundįar Cry 3's graphics are excellent – the island is really pretty, and gets scary after dark. You have flexibility in how you develop Jason’s skills, to suit your play style. Animals such as these and Komono dragons are very dangerous if you stumble upon them accidentally.Īs you craft plants and animal hides and earn experience points, you will learn new skills, opening up new abilities. In one mission I encouraged a tiger to move near a pirate camp so it saw the guards and attacked them, leaving me with much less to deal with. You have lots of tools and strategies open to you: from silenced pistols and landmines, to caged animals and Rambo-like explosive arrows. The outpost missions are excellent mixes of strategy, stealth and brute force, and are very satisfying. There are lots of missions and side missions, so many that it’s almost impossible not to get sidetracked as you’re making your way around the island. Gameplayįar Cry 3 is a violent game with a mix of stealth and shootouts. Far Cry 3 gives you tons of vehicles and hand-gliders to speed your travel around the island, as well as a fast travel option, so you can quickly jump to any of your safe-houses. You have to scope out and conquer Pirate outposts, putting them in the hands of the friendly natives, and giving you safe-houses.
