Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is
set in a dystopian year 2007, where the world i suffering the
aftermath of a nuclear war. It's made to look like a VHS movie from
the 80's and they nail the look. Since it's a DLC for Far Cry 3
everything works like Far Cry 3(not surprisingly) and it still works
very good.
The game has it's
outposts,quests,side-quests and so on. Even though the map is smaller
in size than the one in Far Cry 3 it's way more fun. I may be biased
because i grew up in the 90's but the humor and the whole 80's
setting just hits me in a very good way. A lot of neon, dialog like
taken out of an 80's action-movie, fantastic music and one-liners
everywhere. The main character is played by Michael Biehn(The
Terminator, The Abyss, Aliens) also helps the 80'factor in a big way.
You control Rex «Power»
Colt, an American cybernetic super-soldier. You are traveling to an
island to investigate Colonel Sloan, who has gone rouge. Even this
plot sounds like an 80's action-movie in the best way. The story is
more than enough to keep me playing, because you never know what your
next mission will be. The only thing I feel could be better is the
level-up system. In Far Cry 3 you get level(points) and choose
yourself what you want of skill. In Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon you level
up and get your skill automatically. It's not a huge thing. The game
is still really fun. I have played through it multiple times and I
love it, each time.
TL;DR
Everything with this
works. The story, every one-liner, the acting, the characters, every
reference. It's cheesy, it's fun, it's everything you love about the
80's. It might be short but it's damn sweet. The music is fantastic.
If you like the 80's, first person shooters or Far Cry 3 i highly
recommend that you play this.
