I quite like this game.
It is obviously not trying to hide that its untimately based on the SOURCE engine. Thats not a bad thing.
I like the openess of the way you can kill. It kinda reminds me of Serious Sam. Good fun, but a little lacking when it comes to depth.

Far Cry based on source? It's a completely different engine (CryEngine) with a -imo- very different look. For one thing, it came out a good while before HL2...
Maybe you're confused by the Havok physics engine? I think they both use that, so that could look very similar. (even tho FC doesn't really use physics much)

FC is the first game where I killed someone and the only reason they didn't fall down was because their head hit the doorway and propped em up.
*sigh* memories.

Oh right. I could have sweared they were on the same engine. They both look and have similar concepts. Saying this ive only SEEN HL2.

Hehe. Btw guys, anyone know if the FC: instincts thing is a port or something, or an actual expansion for the original FC that's also meant for PC? If it's the latter I'll be sure to pick it up.

Well, i played a few minutes of the first level on farcry, and what I assume is the first level of instincts, and they are indeed different.

if FC doesn't have 'feral' abilities, then Instincts is indeed more of an 'expansion' thingy.

looks like instincts is an X-box only game that takes the idea behind Far Cry and adapts it. The story sounds exactly the same, but Far Cry definetely didn't have any 'feral' whatever.
I bet they took far cry, crapped out the graphics, crapped out the coolness, made it more 'exciting' and slapped it into the Xbox. But maybe I'm just a console-hating bastard.
