This is where you find yourself stranded, caught in a bloody conflict between the island’s psychotic warlords and indigenous rebels. Struggling to survive, your only hope of escape is through the muzzle of a gun. Discover the island’s dark secrets and take the fight to the enemy; improvise and use your environment to your advantage; and outwit its cast of ruthless, deranged inhabitants. Beware the beauty and mystery of this island of insanity… Where nothing is what is seems, you’ll need more than luck to escape alive.","187734\u002Fco1vpd_webp","187734\u002Fsctdyj_webp","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.youtube.com\u002Fwatch?v=0yZI_hUCVZM","2012-11-28",88.89,529,"far-cry-3",220240,[19,24],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Ubisoft Montreal",true,false,{"company":25,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":26},"Ubisoft Entertainment",[28,29],"Shooter","Adventure",[31,32,33],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 3","Xbox 360",[35,51,67,81,94,108,122,134,147,162,176],{"id":36,"author":37,"outlet":40,"summary":46,"review_url":47,"review_date":48,"original_score":49,"normalized_score":50},74388,{"id":38,"name":39},4769,"Mitch Dyer",{"id":41,"logo":42,"name":43,"website_url":44,"score_format":45},69,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FIGN-logo.jpg","IGN","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002F","10","It’s easy to see why someone would want to visit Rook Island – it’s a stunning tropical location with plenty of fun activities, scenic views, and history worth discovering. Far Cry 3 disrupts that paradise to challenge your feelings about enjoying violence. Because of lunatics like Hoyt and Vaas, you’ll see beautiful things you never would have. You’ll do terrible things that make you uncomfortable and meet fascinating, disgusting people. You’ll sympathize with Jason Brody’s difficult choices as he turns from vapid young man into a monster. \n\nFar Cry 3 is important for the same reason as Far Cry 2. It’s a shooter that considers shooters thoughtfully, both in the way they’re designed and the way we play them, and then asks us to do the same. Should massacring hundreds be a great way to entertain ourselves? Maybe not.
