FarCry - Wild Edition (PS3) ?

[Rarefied Brains]

Hi all

Has anyone got this bundle?
I have a voucher to spend which would make it ~£15 all in (PS3).

I have FC1 on PC, although not touched it for years.
Never played any of th sequels though.. are they any good? I recall 3 was meant to be very good?

Also, I don't know if it's a good port, or I should look to get the xbox 360 version instead?

TIA

Not sure on the bundle, but there was a mammoth thread on FC3 here a while back but for what its worth it is a brilliant game. Far Cry 4 coming out in a few months which should also be quite impressive.

Thanks

I thought it was well-received.
Question is whether to get the PS3 or 360 version really I think.

FC3 was one of my favourite games of the previous gen consoles. Cant wait for 4!

Agreed FC3 was absolutely stunning. Can't wait for this, though will probably just get standard edition.

To answer your question OP I would have said it's 50/50 between the 360 or PS3; I only ever played it on the 360 and it was still a beautiful looking game.

If you haven't played FC2 or any of FC3 before, do be aware they are very different to the original Far Cry - it's much more explore and follow the story line/side quests at your own pace opposed to being a single-track shooter like the original. FC2 got blasted for being a bit too samey and it's stealth mechanic being atrocious but I still really enjoyed it. FC3 is far better although there is still quite a bit of repetition in the side quests.

Agree with Para above.

I'd probably forget FC2 and jump straight to 3, the storylines are independant anyway.

I played it on the 360 and found it excellent; I don't believe there is any difference between the two.

Gameplay wise; fking awesome! Very open world, lots of random side missions to do and the main storyline is very good. As said, some of the side missions can get a little repetitive, but you don't have to do them.

Actually after talking about it, I fancy playing it again myself
