Anybody got Far Cry: Instincts yet?

As per the title.

I want to pick this game up but I refuse to pay the extortionate £30 asking price so I will wait a while.

I'm also after Fahrenheit and Burnout: Revenge too!

Is Fahrenheit that new old-school-style Adventure game?

Yeah, over in the US its called Indigo Prophecy (much better title I reckon). I've played the demo and its quite involving. I would like to see how the story line pans out. The only thing I don't like about games like that is that once they're complete there's not much else to do with them - no replay value...

Farcry Instincts is nowhere near the PC version, but considering the hardware that makes up the xbox..it is quite impressive what they were able to accomplish.

A solid title if your a console FPS gamer.

I'm a console & PC FPS gamer... in fact that type of game is pretty much all I play!

GameSpot gave it 9.2 and said that even though the graphics are a little rough compared to the PC version (what did you expect?!) the gameplay has been refined and it is ultimately a better game.

Since it took me a whole month to complete the original Far Cry on Realistic mode on my PC, I'm hoping for a similar challenge with Far Cry: Instincts...

Well Instincts most certainly does not seem like a superior game overall IMO, but i have not played the whole thing. Also of note is that Instincts is all Ubisoft...Crytek had nothing to do with its development beyond licensing the basic game engine (although i don't even see that)

I still haven't picked up this game yet, because I know that as soon as I do it will become an "offer of the week" in Game for £19.99 or something ridiculous like that.

I just can't stand forking out £30 for a game and then it dropping in price a few weeks later!

Well a few weeks back Play had this game as a hot pick at £17.99 so I bought it, and wow! What a game!

I've just completed it and loved every minute of it! It is completely different to the PC version and a completely new challenge. Its a pity there's only 1 difficulty level, which actually isn't too hard, but the multiplayer will definitely keep me coming back for more!

I'm loving it! Probably my favourite FPS on the XBox. I'd give it 5/5.
