Far Cry 3 review

Being a fan of open-world first-person shooters, i was kind of looking forward to the release of Far Cry 3. 

First off, i must say, that the game has a good vibe and feel when one starts playing it. The plot set in the beginning was good, and it gives one the feeling to keep on paying, till a while, i must add. 

For people like me, a first person shooter is going out there and killing whoever the hell comes on the screen. But this game will want you to go slow, hide in the shadows, make a run for the sneak out path; pretty realistic, but, some what boring in a game. I must say that it feels a bit better once you get your hands dirtier. You must just get used to it.

So, this guy Jason (the player), is kidnapped by Vaas(some pirate). He somehow escapes from there, and finds himself between natives of the island, and goes out to rescue his friends. But, rescuing was not enough, he wanted to kill Vaas, and after doing that he goes after Hoyt Volker(the person who employs Vaas). Now i feel that Hoyt's character needed a bit of proper introduction. Moreover, the encounters with the villains could have been better. Jason was killed by Vaas like a  thousands of times after which he remains alive because of some reason or the other, gets boring i must say. Leaving that aside, the plot of the game is good when the main characters mental journey is shown. From being a confused prisoner, to going out there and taking on the bad guys like a pro, its all there. Not to forget the encounters with the native tribes of the island that make him believe that he is some kind of a warrior.

Things in the game like crafting bags for carrying more ammo and weapons by using skins of animals we can hunt can keep the game alive. Performance boosters can also be crafted using plants and stuff. Now that can make things interesting. 

I will go with 3/5 for Far Cry 3. It's a good game, but it does not have he ability to keep you playing more and more.
