lets tackle us some flaws, cuz this game has a bunch:

1. If you do not have the time & date properly set on your xbox OR if you take this game out of/eject the disc from your xbox for any reason: you WILL be forced to watch a five minute commercial for the game you are minutes away from playing. from what i've been told, this has to do with temporary sound files far cry installs on your xbox. when the game is ejected, the files are deleted.

2. the AI is terrible. the enemies are either so mindnumbingly stupid you can walk up behind them and shoot them in the face at point blank range or they're so clairvoient you'll be spotted from so far away that even with the scope on your sniper rifle, you couldn't fire an acurate shot. This also makes stealth moves harder, as your spotted in everything except the thickest of brush. unfortunately, sight in this brush is pretty restricted. BE WARNED: one mission towards the end of the game will have you pulling your hair out. it is your job to escort a person to a chopper, killing any bad guy that gets in the way. unfortunately, the guy will constantly run out in front of you and otherwise get in the way. this will force you to play this mission dozens of times before dumb luck finally leaves you victorious.

3. then there's the weapon damage. somehow, the enemy can shoot you through trees and behind rocks... with amazing accuracy. ememies can withstand dozens of shots to the body while still charging at you with full speed.

4. the vehicle control just plain sucks... especially when driving smaller vehicles. firing while on the vehicles is equally as crummy. because you are driving in first person, you'll often times find yourself backing off cliffs, hitting things you can't see causing you vehicle to flip over.

5. this game also uses auto-save points. unfortunately, these can be few and far between forcing you to replay lengthy sections of game.

there is fun to be had, but not without enduring tons of flaws. and to be forwarned: THE ENDING PRETTY MUCH SUCKS. putting 20 hours in to a game for a (literally) 35 second payoff? come on...
