    A unambitious and streamlined remaster of one of the better games in the Far Cry franchise, Far Cry 3 Classic Edition nonetheless provides value and satisfying open-world shenanigans in spades.

    This is a very straightforward port of Far Cry 3, a game loved and loathed in equal measure. The Classic Edition is a great way for newcomers to experience one of the best games in the series, despite some clunky controls. Many people will have made up their mind about Jason's journey years ago, but on its own merit, this is a competent re-release of a fun, if a little dated, open world shooter.

    Far Cry 3 Classic Edition is a compelling journey into the past of the Ubisoft series. The game is still solid and enjoyable, full of things to do while exploring the island, but the remaster could have been better.

    Far Cry 3 still offers damn good time, and the Classic Edition is a great way to revisit Ubisoft’s influential classic or dive into it with fresh eyes. The tried-and-tested formula has advanced in recent years, leaving some aspects of Far Cry 3 to feel aged and inconsiderate, which could be too high a hurdle for newcomers to overcome.

I haven’t played it in years. I just found it on PSN for $10 for my PS4 & had to get it for that price! I can honestly say I’m enjoying it more this time around!!!! The one major visual improvement I’m noticing is no more screen tearing. That was the main irritation i had when I played the PS3 version. I feel that there is a visual improvement in general on PS4! I also enjoy playing with my headphones, which I couldn’t do on my PS3. The stereo sound effects sound awesome with headphones! I just finished Ghost of Tsushima (which is an amazing game BTW!) & needed a game to play. This is definitely scratching that itch! :-)… Expand

The gunplay play isFar Cry 3 has one of the best charismatic villains in gaming. The graphics are not the best of course, but do the job. The gunplay play is still fun and the open world is a fun place to mess around in. Full of pirates, crazy ass wildlife and exotic and deadly tribal mythos.

    The overtly fast pirate spawn rates can be a bit annoying. The animals are vicious numerous and can be in packs. The game has it's level of choas factor. Fighting pirates only to be attacked by animals. Or hunting animals to be attacked by other animals or pirates or both.

    A soft green kid going up against hardened pirates, mercenaries and wild animals kind breaks the suspension of disbelief with the story elements. It is definitely a power fantasy sort of game. Random noob, becomes literally a badass Rambo type.

    Far from perfect due to the spawns and story issues, but this is a hell of a lot of fun. I forgot how much fun three actually was to play. Oh and better frame rate than the terrible PS3/360 for sure. Primal, Blood Dragon and Far Cry 3 are the peak of Far Cry games.    … Expand

Some thought this game was a remake, as it says on the cover, it's the classic version, not a remake, I think the game is good, so you can buy it, but it would be nice if the optimization was better and it's not too expensive so it's not over $30 but they rushed it as usual I wish the optimization was better ubioft lazy as always. It would be great if he brought a blood dragon with him.… Expand
