What can the player do or not do in Far Cry
Far Cry being a typical FPS, it's gameplay is quite classic :
So, the player needs to reach the end of each levels and to do so, he
can run, walk, crouch, hide behind walls and objects or in the wild,
lean, shoot at enemies fire at explosive barrels, use card readers or
drive vehicles such as jeeps and boats.
But excepted theses possibilities, the character can't pick up
objects like pieces of furnitures and throw them at enemies or use his
fists to knock out opponents, the only close combat possibility there
is in Far cry is to use matchet. So no non-lethal takes downs are
possible in the game.
What makes Far cry unique
When far cry was published back in 2004, the game was a revolution when it comes to graphical quality and still today when you play with the options to the max, it is still a beautiful game with a great level design and Paradisiacal atmospheres. The developpers also released a level editor so players can make their mods by themselves which is a good point and like said above the gameplay is easy to master and there are challenge because the IA is quite good in exterior with enemies trying to corner the player, surprise him for behind, ... plus the story is quite good with some surprises.
