Far Cry 3 Review
A few hours into the Far Cry 3 campaign, we're introduced to a side character named Agent Huntley, an ex-CIA operative who is secretly investigating the illegal activities on Rook Island. Huntley is holed up inside of a secret room underneath his tropical hut, and refuses to do any investigation on his own, relying instead on external operatives to report back. But even though Huntley's miserly disposition characterizes him as a bit of a screwball, his fears are irrefutable. "This Island will change you," he warns, and he's right on the money.
See, Far Cry 3 isn't just another first-person shooter; it's an investigation into the process of natural selection and a study on psychological transformation. As grandiose as this may sound for a video game, it's the truth. Ubisoft has managed to create a game that forces players to evaluate their own ethical boundaries, and then break them.
The campaign starts like so many terrible teenage horror movies: with a group of young, attractive coeds on an extravagant vacation to some tropical island. Predictably, the picturesque location soon becomes a backdrop for something far more sinister, and one of the coeds is tasked with leading the group out.
But that's where the similarities end. The movie version would quickly descend into a mindless horror-porn slasher-fest, but Far Cry 3 becomes something much more terrifying.
When we're introduced to our protagonist, Jason Brody, he is trapped inside of a bamboo cell with his brother Grant. The two, along with the rest of their group, have been taken captive by a gang of privateers who plan to ransom them back to their families.
