So the adventure begins as Brody fights to survive an island filled with insane characters including the notorious Mr. His goal is to get off the island and save his friends by doing whatever it takes.

Without paying attention to the danger that awaits them, Brody and his friends are eventually captured by the games main enemy, “Vaas”, and his rather large crew of bandits.

He and his friends decide to go skydiving somewhere in South East Asia and they eventually find themselves on a tropical island where they decide to unwind a little. He has no real military background or any special abilities. You play as Jason Brody, a regular straight-laced dude who is right out of college. The multiplayer experience, a co-op mode, and the map editor return, but they all seem to take a back seat to a single player experience that managed to suck me right in. Much like the previous installment, Far Cry 3 is also an open world game but it features far more “colourful” characters, a much more compelling storyline and a rich single player experience that is incredibly deep and hard to put down. Respawning enemies, infrequent save points, and long periods spent travelling from one objective to another are just a few of the complaints. It was a deep enjoyable experience but not without its share of flaws. It was an open world title that took place in a modern day Africa caught up in a state of anarchy and civil war. It was a significant departure from the arcadish and linear experience of the original game. There is no doubt that the development team took a chance when they released Far Cry 2. Does Far Cry 3 do the franchise proud and round out the year with yet another fantastic Ubisoft game? You better believe it does. Far Cry 3 heads back to that tropical island setting that started it all but maintains that deep open world experience so many enjoyed in the second game. Fast forward t another four years to present day and Far Cry 3 for the Xbox 360 has landed on my lap. At the time I was skeptical but after I sunk my teeth into the game I walked away impressed and so did many gamers. In fact, if it were not for the title of the sequel you would not have known it was a Far Cry game at all. Missing was the original protagonist Jack Carver, Stephen Dorff’s voice acting, the island setting, zombies and feral powers. Fast forward to 2008, Far Cry 2 busted on the scene with a completely different open-world game. At the time I fell in love with the picturesque tropical island setting, Jack Carver’s over-the-top feral powers, and an online experience that made for some memorable multiplayer games. It has been about eight years since I first gave Far Cry Instincts on the original Xbox a spin.
