I thought the idea of farcry was good but I didn't like the physics and I thought it was very linear for that type of game. You could wander off the trail in the game a little but not too far before you couldn't go any farther and had to return to the path. The weapons felt really weak too. I was really anticipating the game before it came out but maybe the hype was too high for it. Hopefully the same isn't true with crysis!
