Just ordered it for a tenner from Play.com. It's always looked good, hope my laptop can run it ok.

Far Cry is very good, it isn't as well coded as Half-Life 2, or even Doom 3 - So even if you have a 6800GT running the game with a 3.2 Ghz p4 and a Gig of RAM with all that - the game still jerks, because it's too good for its own good - ironically.

The graphics, as you know, are amazing and the A.I is revolutionary. If you've got a decent card in your PC, play it on High or VERY HIGH with AA on X4. If you can run it like that, you're in for a treat. Turn the sound up, too. It gets a little spooky in places - nice.

I wouldn't recommend playing it on Easy, because, while not a total walkover, it won't show off the AI and last as long as on Med or Hard. Also, have a look at The Project (Downloadable video-clip - available from www.gamershell.com) Probably Far Cry 2? From Crytek, anyway - so it's safe to say that it's the sort of quality they'll be putting into their next game.

P4 2.66GHz, 512RAM, GeForceFX5200 64Mb - I tried that Windows Game Advisor, and it scraped it, but then so did Halo and that ran like a horse with leprosy.

Yup, gret fun. Closing levels are a little shot.

It's the only game the gf has went "ooooooooooo" at, but she's a holiday junkie.

If it can run it you've probably just got the best game you could ever get for £10, it's great fun and looks fantastic.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Second to none...
So far the services you provide are second to none. Keep up the good work.
