I got a call from Gamestop's automated reserve reminder service thingy about this game.
I didn't even know I had it reserved.
Dj wants it badly, so I will be picking it up after work tonight.
Friggin EB didnt have it in yet. 2 trips to the mall in 1 day sucks. I should have it later. Did trade in mine and my brothers copies of shitty ass Rainbow Six Lockdown and got $60 credit though. :)
Rainbow Six was bad? Ah well, I suspected as much.Quote:

I'm surprised considering how hard it was for them to cram it on the Xbox.Quote:

This game pisses on Lockdown. Its not Halo 2 fantastic online, but its probably the next best thing till Battlefield comes out.
I am really liking this so far. My problem with the PC game was that it seemed almost like a different game after the Trigens entered the scene. It was still fun, but I enjoyed killing the mercenaries more. I'm going to try the map editor and online tonight. So far it seems like they have done a great job of getting the game engine to run smoothly on the xbox.

Samurai and I got a few games in tonight and Predater mode is fan freaking tastic.
The online mode is actually really good. Never would have thought it.
I like that you can make new maps and pass them around to other players.
Predator mode is pretty friggin awesome. Watching the Predators is hilarious, they jump like the apes do in Burtons Planet of the Apes.
Have to agree with a lot of you on the Predator mode, played it with a couple of friends (Tropical Forest & Terror Lake were our default maps) and it was awesome. Being the predator really adds a twist on how you approach stalking and killing your friends. I got the special edition Medics Bag from Gamestation, this'll sit very nicely along with Halo: Combat Evolved.
This is badass so far. How similar is the PC version? I don't remember rocks or anything like that in the demo.
Well, the multiplayer has been considered to be a big improvement when compared to the PC game, as a lot of people said that the original Far Cry's multiplayer was kinda weak sauce. And I don't remember the Feral abilities being mentioned in the PC version at any time.Quote:

No trigens? Is the story (Jack Carver on a Dr. Moreau-type island) completely changed?
The premise is still there. What with you getting attacked while lounging on your boat. And there are only two other types of enemies in the game that only pop up at certain intervals during the game. Most levels have human characters littering the place.Quote:
