The downloadable version of the game is ad-supported, which is a bit of a hassle, but when you're getting a game of this quality for free you can't really complain. Regardless of plot problems though, the game has gone down as a modern classic and pushed the developers to geeky stardom. The game drew critiscism in later levels however for being incredibly difficult and have a laughable story. On release, Far Cry was a massive hit, striking out of the blue with gorgeous graphics and stunning level design.

FilePlanet is offering a full version of the game to download for free. If you still haven't got around to playing one of the defining games of recent years however, or if you just don't know what the hell I'm talking about, then now is your chance. Later, when I came back to the game with a new GPU, I enjoyed it throughly, loving the sandbox approach and what is arguably one of the most fun sniper rifles in any game, ever. When it first came out, I enjoyed the first few levels but quickly got bored with it and discarded it in an envious rage when I saw how much better it ran on my friends computer.
