That is the exact opposite on the PC, they hear gunshots and they are coming after you. And when the Trigens start hunting you and the music starts going good luck!

Anyone tried this on the X360? I liked it a good deal on the reg Xbox save for the attrocious AI (though I never finished it)... They mentioned fixing that (even if only slightly), and there's all of 1 review out for it. I ordered it yesterday, it'll be shipping April 3rd (I *heart* region free), so was wondering how it was... could just as easily cancel it before then.

I think it's getting mixed reviews...if you like Far Cry, you'll like this. I guess graphics are not that much better (except water...that is supposed to look really nice)

I know one guy playing the BF2 demo was bitching about it to the point of calling UBISOFT, but that is just one guy.

Yeah, heard the graphics are sharper and it runs better, plus nice water, which is fine. My main complaint with the Xbox version were the morphing texture errors.

What was he bitching about, though? Sure enough, the one game that came out Tuesday that I wanted reviews for, has none.

Not really sure...I think he just said it played like crap. I cannot see it being much different than the XBOX version. I didn't hear is whole rant...this is one person. I think if you like the XBOX version, the 360 version is very similiar.

There is also a CODE to unlock the NEW missions (you would have to play through the original game again to unlock it...which is kinda lame...at least there is a code)

8.3 for IGN, apparently the new content isn't so great and the graphics are simply high res Xbox graphics running at a better clip. Unfortunately, the AI apparently still stinks. Ah well, I'll still get it (wouldn't pay $60 though), hear the online play is great, granted theres any community for it.

Seems they spent more time on the water than the actual game.

I think I'm going to wait for Crysis. I'll download a demo if it becomes available though.

This went from a must to a no buy with that IGN review.
I was hoping for a beefed up PC version instead of Xbox.
It looks like they want you to pay for a HiDef patch of an Xbox1 game.

ill skip this one. the first xbox farcry gave me a good laugh though. i can't remember how many times i'd shoot a guy, and he'd turn around and start running (more like walking) away. terrible AI.

I just got this and can't seem to access the Evolution Story. Do I have to beat the Instincts Story first in order to play the Evoulution one?

Yes, though apparently there is a code to bypass:

Unlock Evolution without playing instincts first
In the Cheat Menu option on main menu or pause screen:

GiveMeItAll Unlocks Evolution Game

I picked this up for 360 with birthday credit, I never played the original Xbox version. My limited first impressions after the first level. DRIVING SUCKS! I hope it's not like this all the way through, steering that Humvee was freaking impossible, especially while steering and expecting you to shoot through the checkpoints. I'm playing on rookie and there can be a HUGE gap in AI. I sniped some guy from about 60 meters away, and another guy heard the shot from 150m away (according to the binoculars), and literally hunted me until he killed me. Dude was ducking behind trees and shooting random fire into the brush to flush me out, it was nuts. But then I walk up to the guy protecting the entrance gate and he can't hit me from literally 3 feet away and he stops to radio for backup while I shoot him in the head. The water graphics are amazing, but now I finally realize what "jazzed up Xbox graphics" means, there's just not a sense of texture like the other 360 games. It's not bad or anything, but looks more cartoonish now that I've played CoD or Condemned.

Awesome!!! Thanks Rich!
