Much Like FarCry3, But Better

As we all know, Ubisoft is a great company & very little of what they release is not worth it. Yes, it has had its few IP's that either started bad (Watch Dogs) or some that were great but with the introduction of a new character & or time period it just didn't go so well (AC3) or it would bug out (ACUnity). But this is not the case for FC4. Like the title of my review says, its like FC3 but better. The concept is the same, the story is very different and great. You also have this new terrain, some new weapons along with a good amount of throwbacks. This game has been out for about 9 months. If you don't have it yet get it. If you liked FC3, get it. if you never played a FarCry game, get 3 & 4. If you're a fan of a good story, plenty of side missions, and don't care too much about on-line playing (because I personally hate online playing) GET THIS GAME!

I am newer to Xbox 360 ( I always played pc games) but this game is so addicting!
It's a great game to get used to the controls and the story line is really fun to watch!
I really enjoy the open world and opening it up gradually. The missions vary from easy to very difficult so it's a good mix. The graphics are stunning too, overall I've really enjoyed the game. It's been a great game to learn Xbox and have fun at the same time.

The game plays well with nice graphics and a great story line. The disappointing aspect was the co-op. Me and a friend planned on playing through the co-op together but became frustrated to find out that wet would have to play the first 4-5 missions alone before co-op was available. Why do game makes do this? If you're going to make the game co-op, just slow people to stay the game this way and enjoy the co-op portion from beginning to end. Also, we found it somewhat confusing to differentiate side missions from the story missions. We would find ourselves competing side missions when we thought we were doing story missions. Overall, the game is fun but the co-op aspect should if been much more straight forward.

If you've played Far Cry 3 then you'll be familiar with what 4 has to offer. It takes everything that was great about its predecessor and builds upon it, while removing some of the nasty edges.
Of course, you might be thinking that you'd be doing yourself a disservice by playing it on your last-gen console, right? Not exactly. The frame-rate is about as smooth as it was in Far Cry 3, so while it's not the smoothest ever, and there are some drops, it's perfectly playable. After playing for a while and getting used to it, you'll probably stop noticing all together.
Graphically, this game is stunning, even on older hardware. It's true, some of the foliage has been removed, and some of the effects have been reduced, but other than the resolution being lower, and the draw distance shorter, I'd say the game is at least 80% the same visually.
So yes, while it would be preferable to get a next-gen or PC version of the game, it plays fine on older hardware. Ubisoft has done a great job getting the most out of the Xbox 360 (and PS3) for this game, and it shows. You could do a lot worse than on decade old consoles than Far Cry 4.

I think Far Cry 4 had a good storyline to the Far Cry series. I think they need more missions and be able to make your own character. The Far Cry games were really good and that they had a great storyline. They need to get more objects and more vehicles and more miscellaneous stuff and new place and new weapons.

I bought this game for myself on my PS4 ages ago. I bought it for my brother-in-law on his birthday this year and while it's on a last-gen console, the game still holds up. Amazing story, amazing graphics, and a perfectly selected / crafted soundtrack.
Do yourself a favor and travel to Kyrat.

I've been away from gaming for a very long time. I recently decided to get a PS4 and I purchased it with a bundled deal that included Far Cry 4. I needed to learn how to use... everything. This game is making my PS4 learning process a heck of a lot of fun. You can relax and hunt animals and search around villages for loot. Or, you can go after the bad guys in a tension filled shoot em up. Just when you think you're doing well, a large predator jumps out of brush at you. The game has beautiful graphics and appeals to the person who wants to have an adventure.

I love this game and so far have few to no complaints as soon as the intro is finished to can travel the whole world giving it a great open world rpg feel. But it is one of the only good first person shooter rpg out there. My only problem is that sometimes you can fall very little distance and die. but other then that it is an amazing great, 5 stars
