After going through two of the most amazing demos I have seen in the long time, I finally got my hands on “Far Cry”.
Well… the enthousiasm generate by the demos was short lived. The game turns out to be sluggish, with visual glitches that bring up memories of the first 3D accelerations cards. Once again, this is a game that was not tested well enough on existing hardware and rushed through the door. Even after a patch, the game is unplayable.
I thought I could exercise my frustration by installing “XIII” – I bought tht one over christmass for a rainy day. Even that was impossible to do – the game turned out to be so fun to play that the kids literally stole it from me 🙁
I will have to wait before going through that one….
