The commercial release of Far Cry delivers stunningly detailed graphics, the genre's largest game environments, most deadly A.I. and an unprecedented 1.2 km view-distance. As Jack Carver, players find themselves stranded in paradise after escorting an inquisitive journalist to a remote tropical island. Paradise quickly turns deadly as an unrelenting team of highly trained mercenaries work together to hunt Jack and take him down. Players will explore a vast island chain rendered in exquisite detail through state-of-the-art graphic technology, while outwitting hordes of cunning mercenaries by staging long-range assaults and using every vehicle, weapon, and strategy at their disposal.

Additionally, Far Cry will ship with the intuitive, Sandbox Editor(tm). CryENGINE technology allows for the easiest, most user-friendly map-editing tools ever created. Players can build their own maps, re-construct game levels, and switch from editing to playing on the fly with one simple command. Following are Far Cry's game features:
