One of the best games for the PS3

Far Cry 3 is not suitable for people who expect a shooter ala Call of Duty or non-stop action and tube levels. The game is like a crazy mix of The Beach, Rambo 4 and Indiana Jones. There are also some allusions to these films.

The game features a unique, huge (!) Open South Sea island world. The graphics and detail diversity is in reference quality. One can in addition to the campaign missions companies countless other things as clear example rebel bases, chasing diving, paragliding, rare animals, looking for treasures, go racing, complete shooting challenges, poker games, explore the island's history, etc. One can find traces of a long past culture and of Japanese soldiers from WW2.

Sometimes I just stood in the sunset on a mountain slope, admiring the beautiful natural surroundings or went into the setting sun jet skiing and diving (where I was attacked by a moray eel). A 100-meter jump in a Cenote (water-filled cavity) should not go unmentioned. There are countless animals that one can also be dangerous in some cases (tiger, sharks, snakes, crocs, Komodo dragons, etc). The nature in this game is beautiful but cruel and dangerous.

The story is exciting, varied, interesting and full of black humor. The own friends are like an ultra brutal pirate gang in the hands and must be freed. The characters of the story are damn entertaining (the mad villain who imbecile drug doctor, the lone CIA agent, etc.) The dialogues are witty and offer perfect German synchronization with the known German voices of Leo DiCaprio for example, Heath Ledger, Robert Downey Jr., Ray Liotta, etc. The cutscenes are filmreif. Some drugs sequences and allusions to Alice in Wonderland are. Bare skin there also to see.

Control goes slightly out of hand. You can level up the character in the course of the game. The weapons könnnen be customized with essays and finishes. The sheet can be equipped with fire or explosive arrows. There are some cool Kill moves (eg, kill with a knife, then make grenade and finally a kick in the cross towards the other enemies ...). You can collect plants and tinker syringes which give a specific briefly strengths in health, hunting, fighting.

After the campaign, you can simply undo the rebel bases on the island and start over with the carnage, if you want. Here you can depending on your mood and sneaking the villains with the knife handle, from a distance strike as Sniper, losballern like Rambo with grenade launchers or proceed like a madman with the good old flamethrower.

The game had with me no annoying bugs, lags or freezes, offering many hours of gameplay. The Platinum Trophy is quite easy to pick up without annoying grind or boosting.
