Far Cry Instincts: Predator (Xbox 360)


Far Cry Instincts: Predator (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Hapless antihero Jack Carver starts on his first ever Xbox 360 adventure, featuring advanced graphics and enemy artificial intelligence that rival even the original PC version.

The lowdown:
More than any other first person shooter the Far Cry games have been a perverse combination of beautiful graphics (in this case a gorgeous tropical island) and uncompromising violence. This new Xbox 360 version includes a revamped version of the highly rated Xbox game, as well as an all-new expansion named Evolution. You start Evolution with all the bestial powers you gained in Instincts, including one hit kills and night vision, and as you’d expect the graphics have been given a serious overhaul - not just in terms of resolution but also the complexity and detail of everything in the game from enemy soldiers to the beautifully rolling sea.

Most exciting moment:
Taking out bad guys from your jet ski as you use it to jump ashore, run into the jungle, and quickly set-up a booby trap to stop pursuing bad guys.

Since you ask:
The new single player campaign Evolution will also be made available for the Xbox as a budget priced stand alone expansion.

The bottom line:
The best looking console Far Cry yet, with almost two games in one.- Harrison Dent

Customer Review: In parts can be the most fun xbox game I’ve played
Now, I had the Original Far Cry for the PC and that game was fantastic. Great gameplay, gorgeous environments and a large sense of freedom. First Person Shooters had always been about dark and gloomy factory corridors and other boring environments. It gave you fun gameplay in an environment that you’d naturally want to explore and play in regardless.

Skip to Far Cry Instincts: Predator. A port from the Original xbox game, as it failed to meet the backwards compatibility list. Taking the Far Cry core mechanics and adding a bunch of feral powers such as Extreme running, tracking by smell and a lethal claw attack. These additions can be huge amounts of fun both on/offline. The game includes the original Instincts storyline and adds a second story mode called evolution. This extends the life of the game and gives you quite a lot for your money.

The Online mode is pretty fun. Predator mode, where one person is a feral beast with all the powers against a group of helpless mercenaries. Included with depth map editor that can be a lot of fun to use online, aswell as the actual building.

To sum it up..

I loved the original Far Cry. This game doesn’t quite feel like the original, it loses something in the process. BUT it adds so much more and can be great fun just like the original. If you had the original xbox game, there isn’t enough here to have paid the full release price, but for a cheaper price is worth checking out. Are you a fan of FPS games? If so you owe it to yourself to play this game. It’s been a highly underrated xbox 360 title and I would advise anyone to make their own decision about it, rather than accepting some of the dire reviews.

Customer Review: Best to avoid
Personnel opinion but this is a godawfull game, the AI is incredibly and stupid and the way the game plays is so ugly and repetitive. It would seem that the only thing going for it is the graphics which are very pretty but thats about it. Also playing the through the single player, the AI has the very annoying ability to always know exactly where you are, even hiding behind buildings and plantation

Would honestly save the money and buy dead rising or better yet splintercell (better graphics and more fun than this)

Sorry but a big thumbs down for this

Customer Review: nyko fans stop working properly after a month
i bought the nyko cooler system, worked for about a month, then started making a strange noise, i felt round the back on xbox and it was nearly on fire, after that had red ring of death and freezing. ALOT of people have had problems with the nyko cooler, gonna try this cooler king out, also it doesnt use the xbox’s power like the nyko. nyko is a dream for a month, after that your back to square 1.
Customer Review: Buy this!
The NIKO is rubbish it does break the xbox 360.. It stops the xbox 360 gettting the power it needs! This dont do that. And it adds to extra fans so more air can go in and out of the xbox! I have one of these and i feel my xbox 360 is doing better than ever, i put my hand on the back and i can actually feel the air blowing my hand not boiling hot air and you think your xbox is on fire!

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Mexico City has been overrun by terrorists and only the Ghost Recon team can restore order - through the use of extreme violence. You command not just your three team mates but a high-tech array of weapons, armoured vehicles and aircraft.

The lowdown:
Although it still plays very similarly to the last Ghost Recon game, this is easily the most impressive of the series so far. The graphics, particularly on the Xbox 360, are extraordinary with a whole city sprawling out in front of you at a previously unimaginable level of detail. Unlike some squad based shooters the controls are simple and intuitive, allowing you to take part in the action and order about soldiers and vehicles at the same time with the minimum of fuss. The questionable artificial intelligence of your allies is the only serious flaw, but the ability to explore the city and plan your attack from any angle usually overcomes this problem.

Most exciting moment:
Calling in a helicopter gunship as you and your men are pinned down by a dozen terrorists, snipers and tanks.

Since you ask:
The game is set in 2013 and all of the high-tech weaponry is based on equipment the U.S. expects to have in operation by then - even the Metal Gear Solid style flying recon drones.

The bottom line:
Incredible graphics and one of the best squad based shooters ever.

Customer Review: Glitches Galore
I bought this game for the XBox 360 with high hopes. I have been a fan of this series of games for some time as well as the whole genre. Unfortunately I was left very disappointed. The artificial intelligence is not very intelligent and the game itself is very glitchy indeed (and at some points makes the game unplayable).
Customer Review: Great game
I played GRAW 2 before this one so it did seem like a bit of a step back but still enjoyed the game a lot. Looking forward to GRAW 3.

Neo Se Advanced Controller (Xbox 360)
Amazon Price: ?19.99
Used Price: ?10.93
Customer Review: Cheaper, but noticeably worse than the official controller.
I wanted an extra controller for when playing with buddies at home. Since this only happens occasionally, I didn’t want to spend more money than necessary. For the purpose of this review I will compare with the official controller. Overall feel and design - sits well in my hands, and feels comfortable in general. I don’t like the placement of the back/start buttons though, as it feels a bit awkward reaching them. Still, there is less risk of pressing them by accident like this. Buttons - feel a bit hard, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I suspect that button-mashing games will make your fingers hurt though. Sensitivy is on par with the official controller. D-pad - this actually feels more precise. I always had a wee bit of problems with the official D-pad, and especially the diagonals feel imprecise. This one’s better, and should be good for fighting games. Triggers - firmer and with more resistance than the official controller. Neither better nor worse for any practical purpose. With driving games I actually think it’s easier to maintain exactly the right level of acceleration. If you need to repeatedly press the triggers fast, they can feel a little too tough. Analog sticks - these feel flip-floppy, imprecise, and not that analog. They are too soft, and movement often becomes all-or-nothing. On shooters this can be compensated by turning overall sensitivity down, and it’s ok. But play any game which recquires precise sequences of movements (trick games, driving, FNR3) and it becomes a major pain. It is a noticeable handicap playing with this controller, which is not how I want my coop or vs games at home. Conclusions - if a good D-pad is crucial for you, to the point of not caring that much about the sticks, buy it at good value. Otherwise, wait until you can afford a better controller, or you will regret your buy like I did.
Customer Review: Do not buy!
after my friend got his 360 we put our cash 2gether to buy a cheap controller and we brought this. what a mistake, the anaolog sticks are way to sensitive and are not accuarate, the sticks feel very delayed and are a pain when playing driving games as your constantly trying to keep your car in line. The trigger were very tough too but im guessing thats because it was new. the 360 button did work and all the player lights were correct. Buy the official controller's! its worth the extra cash trust me!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
One of the most respected Western role-playing games of all time is back with huge improvements in graphics and accessibility, including a completely real-time combat system and the largest, most detailed game world ever seen. Phew.

The lowdown:
Although previous Elder Scrolls games have enjoyed something of a like it or loathe it reputation, this latest sequel has the means to appeal to everyone thanks to one simple improvement: its incredible new graphics. Unlike many role-playing games it is viewed from a first person perspective, with a game world portrayed in a staggering amount of detail, and realistic psychics and characters that genuinely seem to be going on about their own separate lives. The game’s real appeal though lies in the huge freedom: play it exactly how you want.

Most exciting moment:
Using the new combat engine to fight off dozens of enemies, then stealing one of their mounts and riding off into the sunset.

Since you ask:
Emperor Uriel Septim VII is voiced by Star Trek and X-Men luminary Patrick Stewart, but all the characters in the game have full spoken voiceovers instead of just onscreen text. This is the next generation, you know.

The bottom line:
One of the most realistic and accessible role-playing games ever made.

Customer Review: good good
this game is the first game i ever got for the 360 and even today it beats assassins creed and halo 3,because its endless. with this game you don’t have levels and boundarys telling you your going the wrong way,because every way is the right way.you go through the tutorial with simple enemies and understandable story line,you choose your class and when your finished you go where you want you kill,steal,hide from,whoever you want.if you dont feel like doing the main storyline,sod it become an assassin or a thief,or a gladiator.earn money to buy better weapons and armour and become solid and then do the main storyline. as for the battle system one button the block one to magic one to attack all you have to do is move and decide which way to kill them.various magic ability’s can be learned or bought,like your elements ice fire thunder and water,you can unlock doors lock pick or magic,telekinesis,breath under water summon monsters to help out against a tougher opponent. the graphics are very good capturing the environment as you roam around and the faces of different races if there expression towards you is angry or happy.swords axes bows and arrows are all detailed depending on the material,its just a shame about the blood.structures such as houses in town and farms are very good too. with a variety of everything to do its just the best game to come out for years(apart from when fable 2 comes out)for any console,so i recommend you buy this game and cherish it.
Customer Review: Prepare for your social life to end.
If you only get 5 games for Xbox 360 this has to be one of them, maybe even if you only get 1. There are massive pop-up graphical issues, but with a world so large with many different creatures and 100s of missions to do you will not be complaining. Powering up your Character is a lot of fun. Be careful when you start to choose the right creature type for you, because you can’t change that later and you’ll be playing as the same one for many hours. I would put on this game and then check my watch later and realise I’d just spent 4 hours collecting plants, mixing potions and doing a couple of side missions. Just finishing the main story line is to miss the point. Highly recommended to all and sundry.
