Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon Review

A month ago I wrote about Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. Last week this game was released for $15 or €15. I bought the game last weekend for €12 because of a PlayStation Plus discount. The loading screens feature great quotes such as 'You need ammunition to shoot' or 'The hints on the loading screen give hints'. Finally there is a developer who doesn't want to help you with tips in the loading screen. The humor of the game is fantastic. While doing the tutorial Rex wants to get away. You get totally useless explanations such as 'To look around, look around'. After you 'learned' all basics you get dozens of pop-up messages who are extreme annoying, and you get also a message which says it's annoying that you get messages. Great humor!

The game is sadly just a skinned version of Far Cry 3. The enemies don't move different or shoot different. It's not a big deal, because the enemy AI is good. The cars only have different colours and neon strips. The skins are very cool, they are all dark, but have bright lights in them which looks very cool in the dark world of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon. The world of this game is too dark, when there is something in the shadow it is sometimes very hard to see what it is.

Rex Colt is totally overpowered. You can run and with a speed of 22 mph or 36 km/h and crouch with a speed of 6 mph or 10 km/h. Rex can jump approximately 10 feet or 3 meters high. Because you can jump so high you can make a kill from above on an enemy by jumping in front of him, which is very useful. Basicly you can kill everyone by jumping on him and sprinting to the next enemy, without losing much health. Your health is also extremely much. At the beginning you have 4 bars of health and then it's still not easy to die, but at the end you have 16 lives, and I dying is even more difficult with 16 lives. Rex can breathe forever under water, which is ideal for sneaking up on enemies on a boat. The overpower of Rex is awesome in combination with the Blood Dragons.

The Blood Dragons are the coolest thing of this game. They are huge, have extreme amounts of lives and are extremely powerful. When they are green, they don't see anybody and they are 'friendly'. When they turn yellow, they are suspecting something and when they are red, you've got a problem. Blood Dragons fire a huge laser beam which burns and blasts everything away, except Rex, he can survive the bursts very long. When they come close they will hit you with their giant claws. Killing them is difficult, but with the KillStar it's quite easy.

The KillStar is an awesome weapon which you get in the last mission. With the KillStar you can fire a laser beam which is the same as the one from the Blood Dragon, which means total destruction! The only thing you need to do to clear a group of enemies is hold the trigger and turn slowly around, you kill everything and everybody with this over the top, overpowered laser beam.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is a very good game which has great humor, awesome overpowers, great Blood Dragons and the KillStar is the coolest weapon ever. Sadly the only big thing that changed are the skins and the world is too dark.

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is the latest game in the Far Cry series. Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is an '80s styled cyber game. The game is playing in 2007. I think this game is what an '80s game would be if it's made in 2013. As you see at the picture right, it's still in Far Cry 3 style. The car is similar to the cars from Far Cry 3 and the helicopter also. The textures look also much like the textures from Far Cry 3. I think the game is technical the same as Far Cry 3, but the looks are different.

It's a weird game, which I still don't fully understand. Just take a look at the website and you know Ubisoft is kidding you. These old fashioned, flashing, coloured letters and the terrible square shaped background and the ugly layout of the website. This game is one big joke, but also very serious. I don't understand what Ubisoft wants to do with this game and what the intention is of the game and the marketing strategy, but I will write more about this game for sure, because I like the Far Cry series.

Let's play Far Cry 3

The last days I played Far Cry 3. It was a long time ago so I taught it would be nice to do this game again. I did an outpost reset because I already captured every outpost and the island was boring without enemies. And then I captured every outpost again. The load-out I used was a bow, a Bushman, a Ripper and a Z93 with silencer and extended mags. I like this load-out because it's good for silent, but if you are in combat it's a total destruction load-out!

If you are in trouble the Ripper is ideal. It shoots many bullets per seconds but it deals also loads of damage. I use in battle the most of the time the Bushman. It deals a nice amount of damage and it has a good accuracy and range. The Bushman is a silenced weapon so theoretical you could stay hidden while cleaning Rook island, but I never succeeded. I have the Z93 in my inventory because it's an ideal silence weapon. Most of the time a search a nice place on a hill near the outpost and use stones to lure enemies away to remote places inside the camp. After killing several guys with a sniper I go to the camp and kill the last enemies with the bow or the Bushman. That is how I play Far Cry 3.
