Far Cry

Far Cry is an action shooter that follows freelance mariner Jack Carver after he takes reporter Valerie to an unspoiled tropical island. A mysterious militia destroys his boat, takes his money and leaves Valerie missing. Armed with a gun and his wits, Jack must survive against mercenaries in the island’s jungle and uncover their plans, which lead to a choice between fighting the mercenaries and allowing a maniac’s agenda to proceed.

Explore the island

As Jack pushes through the jungle, an insider in the militia reveals the mercenaries’ intentions. The island’s apparently idyllic setting gives way to increasingly strange discoveries. Combat takes place across indoor and outdoor environments and varied terrain, with changing weather, lighting, shadows and adaptive audio shaping the atmosphere.

Choose your approach

You can use stealth, search-and-destroy tactics, close-quarters combat, long-range shooting and combat driving. The view system scales to 800 meters, and motion-sensing binoculars let you spot enemies from a distance before choosing how to attack, from sniping to close-range firefights.

Face the mercenaries

Mercenary units include snipers, stalkers, scouts and grenadiers. Their AI uses adaptive group tactics to coordinate attacks from different angles, distances and terrain. Commanders can call in reinforcements by land, sea or air.

The game engine

The game uses the Far Cry engine, with Polybump mapping, environment and character physics, destructible terrain, dynamic lighting, motion-captured animation and surround sound.
