Far Cry Vengence

Duff Man Jr.

I think its fair to say far cry is the best PC game ever. And as most of us probally know far cry vengence is a Wii launch game.

Basically my question is why is there no hype about it???
I know it was out for the 360 but never played/heard anything about it, was it so bad that no-one cares about it anymore?

The PC version may have been very, very cool... but the Wii version doesn't seem to tickle the tastebuds in the same way. If im buying an FPS, it'll be Red Steel or Call Of Duty 3.

Ballox. But the Wii version could be good. I liked instincts despite it not being anything special. I'll wait for the reviews before I think about buying it.

Firstly, as Retro put it in his subtle post (:D) FarCry was a great game but I would hardly call it the best PC game ever

Secondly, the developers of the original PC FarCry, Crytek, have long moved on from the FarCry games. They are currently working on the DirectX 10/ Windows Vista exclusive "Crysis", due out next year.

Since UbiSoft owned the rights to the "FarCry" game and story the various FarCry games on the Xbox and Xbox 360 were developed by UbiSoft's Candian based inhouse development team, and while they are supposed to be good (i hear) they took the game in a slightly different direction than the original.

So while being stunning and original when it first came out on the PC in 2003, all the FarCry games since have really just been remakes, trying out different things but not exactly pushing the game forward at all. Therefore it is kinda hard to get excited about the Wii version of the game.

I did not know this - Red steel it is so.

All the first person shooters on the Wii look good to me

Think I'll just go for the one(s) with the best review(s).
