My Opinion
I had never played any of its predecessors so I was skeptical to buy it. Although i had 60$ to blow so i went ahead and did it! I started off watching the prelude and following Grant Brody. I was paying a lot of attention to the great graphics as they were honed down to a pebble. The ground had a large amount of detail and the mercenaries looked menacing. The shock during the prelude had me hooked as i found myself running to live in the jungle. To my surprise I was quickly reeled in by the story and found my self chased by a bear and terrorists all at once! After continuing on for a bit i was brought the the first town, Amanaki Town to meet the tribal people of the Island, The Rakyat. They quickly inducted Jason into their ranks upon learning of his situation and introduced him to life in Rook Island. It did take quite a while to get into the actual combat though. Though when it did it was exhilarating, the tutorials were very instructional on how to silently dispatch your foes and hide their bodies heh. I loved how many different ways there were to kill a single opponent i spent more time deciding how then actually dispatching them. The customizability of the weapons were very concise making you feel like you got the best out of you weapons and the skills are specifically split into multiple categories. This is a benchmark game raising the stakes for all other videos games of its kind.
