This forum is finally up.
I probably won't be able to buy this game because of my mom's over classification of media that is innapropriate for a 15 year old. Sad, I actually wanted to see what this game was like.
Still, won't stop me from renting it.

Your Welcome.
This game looks beautiful. Did you know that Far Cry was supposed to be on the PS2 as well? But Ubisoft cancelled it because the PS2 was not powerful enough.

And I don't mind it one bit.
Red Steel = City
Far Cry = Tropical Island
I can't wait to explore both environments in both games.

This will be a new Far Cry that takes elements from Far Cry Instincts Evolution.
quoteThe Wii entry in the franchise includes elements from Far Cry Instincts Evolution, in addition to a fresh storyline, new maps, characters and equipment. The gameplay is designed completely around the Wii remote, with gunplay aiming as well as more unique maneuvers such as vehicle steering, balancing on precarious ledges, and throwing grenades.
