Far Cry Instincts

"The feral components are unquestionably fantastic and insert some new life into a crowded genre."

"Far Cry Instincts looks very solid, and its powerful editor and fast-paced multiplayer bode well for fans of online console shooters. The game is scheduled for release in September."

"Including a map editor is quickly becoming a requirement of online shooters on Xbox and the Far Cry editor will stand with the best of them. "

"Far Cry Instincts is a must-play for anyone with a remote interest in shooters. The new feral abilities and completely redesigned single player experience mean that even gamers who played the heck out of the PC version will find value in this title. Graphically, the developers have clearly pushed the Xbox to its limit. Whatever quirks this game exhibits (fairly long load times and sporadic pop-in) are a product of trying to do too much on aging hardware. The map editor, multiplayer, and feral melee attack are reason enough to give this game a try, so stop reading and join the hunt."

"To conclude, Instincts had quite a bit going for it (good graphics, comfortable controls, unique setting) but then does a great job of screwing it all up and making you not care (repetitive levels, stupid enemy designs, slight unfinished feel in places). If you’re a FPS nut you might get some enjoyment out of this, but when there are so many better FPS’s out there (Halo, Half-Life 2, Riddick, Cold Winter, TimeSplitters 2) Far Cry Instincts is worthy of little more than a rental."
