In such a long time I had been wanting to play Far Cry 3, actually the game's most badass character Vaas got my interest. Also, I've become a fan of beautiful open world games. And in FC3, the jungle really makes it.
Actually my lovely friend MuNu bought this game a long while ago but when she didn't have time for it, it was my turn to try it out, and even with my console gaming skills the game was pretty hard I was able to beat the game.
So what's the story behind this game? Pretty simple. A group of youngsters decide to trip to savage islands and unfortunately there comes up more than just nice villagers, man named Jason Brody with his friends get kidnapped by local pirates which are lead by Vaas. In the first scenery Jason's brother gets killed when he and Jason are escaping making Jason to get lost in the jungle. Pretty soon he's found by local villagers who start to help him while he's holding a grudge against Vaas, wanting to kill him. But the game won't be only confined with this, the game will follow Jason's growing to a warrior of jungle experiencing everything from exploring the jungle, experiencing trances and of course, kill everything what's moving. In the jungle there whole bunch of actions to do and the game really won't lie that there won't be enough exploring in there. And if running in the woods will get boring you can always fast travel to your chosen city by choosing it from your map.
In some sections the story limped a bit, but its surprising episodes of weird missions (like finding mushrooms and burning weed with the flamethrower..) make it less boring. Also, the characters of the game richens the game, Vaas really ain't the only one to be interesting in this game.. Everything in the game really balances it. In my taste it concentrated a little too much in shooting, but well.. It's a shooter after all. Still I could have wanted to see more about the jungle, but I'm not complaining. Nice gaming sessions to everyone!
