ahhh what can i say, good ole ubisoft has released its next version in the great Far Cry series. And here we are rushing out to get our hands on it. Far Cry Instincts Evolution adds a whole new storyline and some great new multiplayer features, so don't get me wrong this game is great and well worth the buy, but let me break it down into pros and cons...
Pros: The map editor adds new and improved content to an already amazing tool, zip lines, caves and new buildings are all here.. The multiplayer is still at a relentless pace, whether predator is your game mode choice or team chaos it never stops being adrenaline filled...new vehicles such as the sampan boat and pickup truck with a mortar in back adds to the arsenal at your disposal as you will be rampaging through the multiplayer games blowing up everything in your path...new weapons including pipe bombs, and molotov cocktails add extra flare during online matches... and finally the environments, weapon models and player models still look beautiful..
Cons: the part i never like to talk about, well apart from this game being a very well thought out and put together title, its lacking in areas that should have been addressed. The single-player campaign is bogged down with glitches and the occasional fps drops, although still fun it lessens the experience...the molotov cocktails on the multiplayer front seem to lag the game when the first one is thrown in a match, its almost as if the xbox needs to load the new fire which takes it a second, you cannot over-lap land or add waterfalls ( a feature which was desperately wanted by the community)
Final thoughts: If you can get passed the glitches in single-player and the very minor ones in multiplayer, you will enjoy this title for months to come, with so much to offer this title should not be over-looked because of the release of the xbox 360's FCI Predator..
