  Far Cry (PC) Preview at GameSpy.com
Like just about everything else we've seen of Far Cry, the entire level was a small tropical island, with lots of hills, lush vegetation, and the sun shining off the ocean surrounding the level on all sides.
Unlike most games, Far Cry doesn't lock you into the weak weapons, either; if you want, you can toss the machete in favor of the hand-held rocket launcher (although there's something to be said about sneak up behind an unsuspecting enemy and catching them off guard with the blade).
Far Cry's sniper rifle is extremely deadly, and takes time to master.

Far Cry was originally displayed as X-Isle, a futuristic dinosaur hunting game primarily intended to be a showcase for the mighty power of the GeForce 3.
Far enough apart to make trudging through infuriatingly hard levels a chore, these checkpoints are one of the major points of contention I and others have with the game at present.

 Far Cry Instincts Review for Xbox at Gaming Horizon
Far Cry Instincts is more of a retelling of the story on the console, like how Batman Begins has nothing to do with Batman but tells the same story.
In Far Cry Instincts, your main objective is to find and rescue Val, the woman who hired Jack to take her to the island and may - or may not - be the reason that every human being with a gun has been pointing them at you.
Far Cry’s graphics on the PC were just astounding, especially the intensive water effects (much of the game takes place on or near water) and Far Cry Instincts does a pretty impressive job of mirroring these effects.

Far Cry, though, is not only notable for being the first entry by Crytek into the crowded PC first-person shooter market – it is quite possibly the best one-player, action-intensive shooter ever.
Far Cry has little employment of the much-ballyhooed physics aspects of such games as Half-Life 2, Deus Ex: Invisible War or--to a lesser extent--Doom 3, yet what it has works well enough within the scope of the game.
Far Cry requires more sneaking around, use of cover, diversions, etc. All in all, it requires more of a tactical approach, rather than a "bust in the room and mow 'em down with the shotgun" approach.

 Review - Far Cry // PC /// Eurogamer
Although Far Cry was perfectly capable of rendering the world in high detail on a GF4, it had an annoying tendency to pause the scene every so often as if it needed to catch up.
All through playing Far Cry, though, it was impossible to escape the fact that, despite the stunning views, multiple routes and cleverer-than-usual AI, it still largely conforms to the rigid FPS rules that have been established for over a decade.
It's as if all Far Cry wants to be is a sub-Arnie run and gun, but all evidence to the contrary screams that the game is worth so much more than that.

Far Cry is good, but it would have been better if it only had human enemies.
Unfortunately, Far Cry's intricate early levels give way to pitched battles or gauntlet runs in which there is precious little opportunity to work out anything clever and you are reduced to getting lucky in order to progress.

 First Impressions - Far Cry // PC /// Eurogamer
For graphics whores, Far Cry is most certainly something that will cause a lot of excitement - although we'd have to voice concern that the enemies all seem to have the same appearance and have an overly generic look to them from what we've seen so far.
As far as the gameplay is concerned, you start off armed only with a pistol and a machete, and it's clear that you have to tread a little carefully if you want to live more than a few seconds.
Doffing its cap to Halo, Far Cry has adopted a limited arsenal system, although in this case you appear to be limited to four weapons as opposed to merely two.

 Gaming Illustrated - Far Cry (PC) Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Far Cry demo is possibly the most talked about demo since the Doom Shareware release and has introduced the gaming world to what was a bit of a dark horse.
Not to everyone's taste I know, but so far it hasn't really bothered me. The fact that AI is so unpredictable does make up for this, a few tricky battles I have needed to replay have often had quite different outcomes.
