With the Far Cry franchise riding higher than ever thanks to the critical and commercial success that Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon received over the past year, it makes sense that Ubisoft is hard at work on the next entry in the series. Before they get to that though, the company has decided to revisit the franchise’s roots with the release of Far Cry Classic. Originally developed by Crysis creator Crytek, Far Cry does not feature the open world environment that made the latest entries in the series such a hit, but it does lay the framework for it.

The first-person shooter genre has come a long way since 2004
It wasn't great but there's some fun to be had with it if your willing to forgive its faults,though the voice acting is truly awful !!!
You're right, it's not terrible on its own merits. However this remake on the other hand, well...
I'm not sure. I hesitate to say that it was lazily ported, but it feels that way.
Oh, trust me. It was. I still play the original on my PC. They managed to make it look worse, ruin the hit detection, and ADD tons of bugs. The frame rate, alone, makes it almost unplayable.
My question is why did it take so long to get a release and why near the end of the Xbox 360's and PS3's life cycle?
I remember wanting to play this game when the original Xbox was big news. Seems like a waste to be honest...
GO gets a reset! To win this week's sticker the AH guys have to kill ten enemies, in ten different games.
