REVIEW: Far Cry Vengeance

Yashpal SharmaFeb 20 2007

Playing a lot of FPS like Call of Duty 3; and another great FPS is at the doorsteps. Yes! I am talking about Far Cry Vengeance; Ubisoft's creation that was launched in Mid December. The game takes place amidst a serene environment of lonely islands. The tough engine CryENGINE makes it graver with impressive graphics.

Far Cry Vengeance, an awesome sequel to Far Cry is an exclusive Wii title that seems to be a standardized blend of instinct and evolution with some elegant add-ons to the predecessor with a modified storyline, and support of elite maps and weapons. One more thing that is remarkable is Wii-mote's support with some motion sensing capability.

Game Plot:

The story revolves around the ex-army Jack Carver, whose undefined past has somehow adapted him with a variety of dangerous weapons and made him exploit use all the natural powers to become a cruel killing creature when the situation calls for it.

Storyline:

Much of the story of Far Cry Vengeance is based on Far Cry Instincts: Evolution a Far Cry sequel that was launched onto Xbox360.

In the game, Carver meets with a voluptuous arms dealer and travels with her to a tropical location when some armed force assault them and the action rarely relents from that point forward. Wii owners can take solace in the fact that Ubisoft has really utilized Nintendo's controller. The standard configuration is too slow for our liking, but the sensitivity settings can be increased so that you can turn and aim quickly; and you can press and hold the A button to lock the screen so that you can aim your target more precisely and just after few minutes you find yourself comfortably navigating the raged environments and effortlessly gun down your enemies with a sharp hit at forehead.

While playing the game, you need to toss your Nunchuk up to make your character jump and looks pretty odd (but exciting in my case, especially).

Mainly, the game is largely compared with Red Steel, but the game is distinguishing as compared to Red Steel as both the Nintendo accessories i.e. Wii-mote and Nunchuk looks pretty nicely tuned with game as the wireless Wii-mote helps a lot while aiming at the target with greater liberty that it always carries.

The multiplayer mode makes the game more flavored as it allows your mate to fight or make a massive assault over enemy.

ESRB Rating: M (Mature)

Price: $49.99

Pros:

Graphics: No doubt, graphics are exceptionally gorgeous

Audio quality: the audio quality is also appreciable

Good Wii-more support

Moderate price thingy

Cons:

However, there is a multiplayer support with new FPS but up to two players make it a bit gloomy.

Much of game has already been served i.e. the game contains a lot of prior game content.

Bottom-line:

However, the game is selling below the mark, but future seems to be bright and will certainly achieve the goals that prior Far Cry titles failed to reach.
