Far Cry Instincts: Predator for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

The first couple of levels you play through the single player game, you can't help but just be amazed at how pretty the water and jungle is from far away.

But once you start playing through the game more, you soon realize it plays just like a low budget first person shooter.

I was never able to adjust the controls exactly how I wanted them. They always seemed too jumpy. Of course, this is very bad when aiming at close range. The enemies were extremely stupid, but were still a little too difficult to kill even on the easiest setting. The controls of course didn't help either.

Probably the best part about Far Cry Instincts is the map editor. I have to admit it takes forever to create a good map, but if you have the time, it does allow you to tweak just about anything you want tweaked. I've probably sunk more time into the map editor, than actually playing the game. Once you have a map created however, you can publish it online, and others can play it. But I sat there for about half an hour waiting for somebody to join me to play on my map... Wasn't a very big map either, so I can't explain the wait time, other than nobody was looking to play on a custom map... or even willing to play the game for all I know...

In summary, I really don't like the single player. It seems like it becomes a chore just to beat it, which should not be the case. The multiplayer is nothing new, offline or online. The map editor is the best thing about the game, but if the best the game developers can offer is a map editor... It's a pretty lousy game.

And for those going for achievements only, don't even both wasting your time. There are a couple easy ones, which will get you less than 100 or so, but after you get those, the rest are just not worth it. Playing through the entire game on one difficulty is bad enough... Let alone playing through all the diffculties.
