Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Preview: In a nutshell: Far Cry: Instincts sees you stuck on a gloriously rendered tropical island filled with lush jungle, limpid pools and heavily tooled-up mercenaries. Open-ended encounters offer far more cerebral exercise than your average run-and-gun, as well as the requisite trigger-pumping action. And then you start to discover the islands nasty little secrets…
The lowdown: Although the full story mode is not in place yet, the environments, their contents and the sparse but important vehicles point to an exceptionally interesting console conversion of the PC classic. Graphics remain tantalisingly sharp and an underwater swim in one of the island’s many lagoons is exceptionally refreshing.
Most exciting moment: So it’s you versus the mercenaries in a straightforward shooting match, right? Wrong. Far Cry has quite a few more tricks up its sleeve…
Since you ask: Along with guns, explosives and vehicles, you can also set, bait and quietly observe traps in the undergrowth.
The bottom line: If looks could kill, this would be lethal at 10 paces--how the rest fits together, time will tell. Nick Gillett

If there were any First-Person-Shooter, which is extremely difficult and challenging to complete, I would say it would be Far-Cry Instincts. I thought at first Half-Life was challenging, but Far-Cry Instincts really packs in a good old punch!
My brother already owned this game as he got it for a bundle price, but while we went for our little holiday in August 2006, I saw this game on offer for about £15, so I thought I'd give it a bash and see what it's like! It's a long off game but overall, it took me a whopping 5 months (January-May 2007) to complete 1 profile of the game!
Far-Cry was originally released in 2004 for the PC, but because of it's success, Ubisoft (Producer) wanted to create a Far-Cry game for the Microsoft ... Read More:

I completed this game on the xbox and PC and will eventually play again......and complete it again. Other than C&C this has to be one of the best games created. The graphics and gameplay are very good. Would recommend to have in your games collection forever.

This is a beautiful game. Just look at the water. It looks REAL !!! I have great respect for the people who made this hugely entertaining game. The story is not very original, but the sense of danger from the enemies & the sheer size of the island are what makes this game so very playable. For me, the 2nd best game of 2005 ( after GTA San Andreas naturally !!).

On first sight the game looks good but there are a few flaws to it. The first thing I noticed, is when I was crawling from the undergrowth, the vegitation looks like it is made of cardboard. Looking at the water, we know the producers are more than capable of creating stunning scenery and this seems a bit of a cop out. However, I persevered. The first enemy I encountered was one guy and immediately you think "shoot him". So I did. Either I missed him about seven times or he was super human or something like that. I emptied half a mag or ammo on his arse before dropping him. The whole game is like that unfortunately. One last point, you can't play skirmish games at all. You have to have one other human player in a non-mission game, which sorely disappointed ... Read More:

I found this game irresistable from the moment I loaded it up. As each level progresses unlocking new abilities, I found it harder to put down. The low points however is that as you progress each level at it's hardest leaves you drained and expecting it to be the last, so, unfortunately, when you reach the last level, you're sorely disappointed.
But what an excellent game!
