    Oof you won't regret it if you purchase it. I don't say this often but from each vid I've seen I've grown to say that this will be the next killer app for the box.

    Re: Far Cry; Instincts

    Ok gentlemen I had recently seen some moderately-long in game footage. From what I've seen its a battle between the good and the bad, some of the stuff really impressed me some of it was kinda craptacular. Lets start with the good things 1. The bloom effect and normal mapping are put into great use with water, fire, sun, and smog effects as well as some nice character models. 2. The sound effects are so up close and clearly streamed that you'll feel like your in the some vast tropicle island. 3. The sniping and knifing bits look uber sweet, using the vehicles looks as cumbersome as eating a chocolate bar unless your allergic to dairy of course. Now the bad stuff. 1. While the graphics are all around good the textures can get pretty ugly if you look at a bush from far away then come closer you'd swear it was sushi (not litteraly of course but you get the point, OBJECTS ODDLY CHANGE SHAPE. 2. The enemy ai is severely dum in the first few levels, but eventually do some cool things later on when you meet the snipers, the special ops dudes, and the trydants. 3. While the game runs around an impressive 40fps it still pulls some long chaos theory pauses. All in all I'll still make this game my bitch.

    Well, you can watch videos all you want but, I have played the first 2 levels over and over again and I am really enjoying the Demo. The graphics aren't the best but some of the best the system has to offer. The AI from what I have encountered are also not that smart but, that will drastically change farther into the game. At first you are only fighting punks but, as you progess through the  levels, the enemy also changes to someone that is trained and to merc and military soldiers that WILL SNIPE YOU!

    I'm picking this up today. I don't really care about anything really special in the graphics, as long as its open-ended.

    Yes [Y] Re: Far Cry; Instincts

    Yeah, IGN reviewed it!

     

    Closing Comments
    Far Cry Instincts is a must-play for anyone with a remote interest in shooters. The new feral abilities and completely redesigned single player experience mean that even gamers who played the heck out of the PC version will find value in this title. Graphically, the developers have clearly pushed the Xbox to its limit. Whatever quirks this game exhibits (fairly long load times and sporadic pop-in) are a product of trying to do too much on aging hardware. The map editor, multiplayer, and feral melee attack are reason enough to give this game a try, so stop reading and join the hunt.

    Re: Far Cry; Instincts

    I just played the single player for a good hour and a half.... It fucking rocks. Best game that I've played for the xbox in my opinion.
