Far Cry Instincts 2005

Is it still worth playing?

Ubisoft's 2005 first person shooter for the Xbox, a remake of the Windows version of Far Cry, more linear than that game because the console could not render its vast islands. It adds new multiplayer modes, weapons and Feral Abilities, which the modified storyline reflects. It also adds traps: you can wrap a spiked tree branch around nearby foliage so that it kills an unsuspecting enemy walking past, and claymore mines can be set in enemies' paths, in multiplayer too. A map editor lets you build maps with vehicles, guns, buildings and trees and reshape the land, and the maps can be uploaded to Xbox Live. The original Xbox Live was shut down in 2010, but the game can be played online again through replacement servers called Insignia. Traps let you fight by setting things up beforehand, and that planning is still part of what it offers.
