Far Cry: Instincts - Predator

Far Cry: Instincts - Predator

A next-generation port of the original Far Cry Instincts as well as Far Cry Instincts: Evolution.

Overview

Far Cry Instincts Predator is a slightly upgraded port of the Xbox Game "Far Cry Instincts" and "Far Cry Instincts: Evolution". It includes both single player campaigns and all the multiplayer and map editing improvements from Evolution. While the "Far Cry" name may indicate that it is a console version of the hit PC game "Far Cry", the console games are more of a re-interpretation and have a much different design and feel than the original PC game. In general, the graphics and textures are more Xbox than 360 since its pretty much a straight port of the Xbox game. The graphics will look smoother and the draw distance and pop-in are certainly better but it won't compare to other 360 shooters in terms of graphics.

Gameplay

Unlike a typical shooter Far Cry Instincts focuses more on a variety of combat, melee and super human "feral" abilities that you gain along the way. These feral abilities require adrenaline to use though, which are gained in several ways including taking pain, resting using a ration or by remaining close to an enemy.

However, despite being a focus on melee and super abilities, there is still gun play, with the ability to dual wield some guns, such as sub machine guns. Additionally, the player can set traps for the enemies. Also, Jack can drive a wide variety of vehicles, in which he can shoot from while driving.
