Average Rating of 96%, Halflife 2 might not dominate afterall...

to quote one reviewer

"Far Cry is here and now and is one of the greatest games I've ever played."

Australian Gamepro had the first magazine review that I have seen. They gave Far Cry ten out of ten.

Going to be a close call for GoTY. Far Cry, if MP plays out good ie. great net code and good gameplay should get GoTY. It was the sleeper no one heard alot about till just the past month or so.

Don't get me wrong I will buy HL2 and Doom3 but feel Far Cry will be my game of choice for the coming yr or more.

I liked what Gaming Illustrated saidHERE

"The regular modes are in place as well as an objective based Assault mode including Wolfenstein style player classes. The combination of huge maps and vehicles should make for some unique gameplay."

P.S. Almost forgot...

Woo!

That is one amateurish reviewer. Everyone knows the most important rule is to not let personal taste affect your judgement of the product. Personal taste has nothing to do in a review.
And that is the hard part of being a good reviewer (being neutral and objective).

There's been a lengthy review on www.pczone.co.uk, the website for the UK magazine of the same name, for just over a week but you have to register to read it (free registration).


*Spoiler below*

The long and the short of it is, the reviewer gave it 93% and his closing comment was "A sublime experience". \o/

Yeah, but he's also a gamer. Can you blame him?
