Far Cry 3 players step into the shoes of Jason Brody, a man alone at the edge of the world, stranded on a mysterious tropical island cut off from civilization. In this savage paradise where lawlessness and violence are the only sure thing, players will dictate when, where and how the events of the game unfold. Players will slash, sneak, detonate and shoot their way across the island in a world that has lost all sense of right and wrong.
Features:
The island of Far Cry 3 will drop the player into a rich and stunningly well-realized environment, full of intriguing characters to meet, locations to explore and explosive fights to jump into.
Alone on a tropical island, the player will have to confront the dark side of humanity. As Jason Brody, gamers will be impelled to act as he learns more about the horror and corruption that is taking place on the island.
Far Cry 3 exists within a world of conceivable reality, where the events could have been ripped straight from the headlines of the news.
The natural environment is a tool to be used for survival, improvising your attack or deception of the enemy. Gameplay will reflect the range of opportunities and variety only this type of environment could provide.

Review by: dragonborn (Phillip)
Dated: 2nd of June, 2014
I haven't played any of the games in the Far Cry series yet, and though I hired Far Cry 3 out, I didn't get much of a chance to play it as hospital visits kinda trumped playing a game, so I was excited to finally be able to give this a real go.
You are stranded on what should be an island paradise but very quickly you find out things are not as good as you think things are. The main protagonist is done really well, he's fully believable and naturally you can't help but cross your fingers that you never meet someone like him in real life. The voice acting in this is really well done and I can't fault it. There is a lot to do in the campaign, from finding hidden items to unlock achievements and items to side missions to the main plot, there is enough here to get you going.
The on line game play is where things can get a bit iffy, to even begin you need a code, so if you get this game second hand or rent it you won't be able to play any of the on line parts. There is also an app that you can download onto your tablet which you can use to unlock a couple of bonus items, the only annoying thing is that it doesn't bring over your friends list from the xbox. The online game has some rather funny parts in it, for example the winning team tickles the loosing team, or everyone dances the macarena.
I've really enjoyed this game and look forward to the next instalment.
