Far Cry Vengeance

The only thing this slab takes revenge on is the concept of quality

Even turret bullets have an effective range of maybe 30 yards, at which point they won't even hit the ground, much less an enemy. Hell, you don't even get the pleasure of hearing voice actor Steven Dorff chew the scenery; instead, you'll suffer through poorly written, performed, and recorded replacement dialogue that makes Uwe Boll's questionable cinematic efforts seem like Stanley Kubrick. Even the atmospheric music skips like a school bus CD player.

If the GameCube could handle Metroid Prime's environments and beasties so beautifully, there's no reason the superior Wii can't deliver a first-person shooter worth remembering. Unfortunately, Far Cry Vegeance sure as hell isn't it.

You'll love

  • Remotely detonated pipe bombs
You'll hate
  • Badly reworked controls
  • Butchered aesthetics
  • Many story elements are AWOL
