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: THIS THING ACTUALLY WORKS FINE!
U plug it in and it works that’s all u need to know. usb and is quite good for your money. good buy!
Customer Review: The best accessory for any 360 owner
This is absolute essential if you bought a premium pack or a wireless controller. Your 360 control pad will last 30 hours on fresh AA batteries but, what you don’t want, is to be in the middle of a battle on your favourite game only for a “Please reconnect controller” message to pop up. This simple cable completely removes the need to buy batteries ever again. Your on screen battery indicator (Guide blade) will tell you when your pad is running low then you simply plug one end of the cable into an available USB port on your console and the other in the top of the controller to recharge your battery whilst playing! Simply brilliant!

Prey (Xbox 360)
In a nutshell:
Although it was announced more than a decade ago this demonstrates that the best things really do come to those that wait, with the most original and technically advanced first person shoot `em-up in years.

The lowdown:
Although it was conceived at a time when 3D graphics cards were still optional the basic idea behind the Prey portal technology is still the same as it ever was, allowing you to instantly step from one world to another in the game. You can even create the portals yourself as you battle grotesque enemy bosses in one area and jump back to another to recover. The game casts you as a Cherokee Indian with a number of magical powers such as spirit walking that let you explore the game world as a spirit, and deathwalk which replaces the normal need for intrusive quick saves with an innovative mini-game set between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Most exciting moment:
Not only is the portal technology amazing but the game’s use of gravity is equally inspired with gravity escalators that run up and across ceilings and some excellent zero gravity sections where you pilot spaceship pods and explore a tiny rotating planetoid.

Since you ask:
Originally intended only for the PC, the Xbox 360 version is being developed by British team Venom Games, who previously created Rocky Legends for Ubisoft, and features an 8 player multiplayer mode.

The bottom line:
Looks like being one of the top predators in the shoot `em-up world.

Customer Review: You get what you pay for.
So Ive played about half of the game and its far too dull to keep me engrossed. Theres nothing spectacular about this game I can think of that makes me want to play it anymore, if it wouldn’t cost me more too return it than the money I’d get back I would no longer own the title.
Customer Review: well worth the money
Before buying the game it might be a good idea to play the demo which is available at the XBox Live marketplace. Looks like many elements of the game are borrowed from science fiction movies dating back as far as ‘Dark Star’ (the bouncing beach ball in the movie). I think the story is nice and there is some surprising little puzzles in the game. If you like Scifi and saving the world from time to time then you should consider buying this game, I think it’s worth the money.
