When I look at the Wii version of Far Cry, I would always think of AVGN christmas episode

Far cry Instincts predator had a pretty thriving multiplayer community back in the day with the custom map maker editor. Alot of creative maps, game modes and activities (obstacle course maps were fun!) were created from that tool in game. Holds a special place in my heart.

Never heard of Space Truckers, gonna watch it later. Crow got same face treatment as Shepard in Hunt Down the Freeman

Keep in mind: when this game came out on XBOX, it was an extremely good game. It's very memorable for me. Back then, these graphics were cutting edge.

Now I know why they called it the CryEngine...

I remember legitimatley liking instincts on the original xbox. Never got the chance to complete after my younger brother deleted my save file after we got into a fight.

When video game-babes still was a thing.

Far Cry Instincts and Evolution will always be my favorites.

10:48 You referencing that one conversation you had on Twitter where someone was defending Crysis 1 A.I? It was hilarious lmao

I loved Far Cry Instincts as a kid. Me and my cousin had so much fun with the map editor.

Her - “come over” Me - “nah I can’t” Her - “my parents aren’t home” Me - 23:59

I don't believe you mentioned anything about the map editor or multiplayer, they were definitely the highlight of this series! Nothing was more awesome then playing the predator game mode on custom maps made by the community and myself on Xbox live. The sense of exploring new jungles, caves, islands and labyrinths plus the dread of being stalked by the predator in these unknown locations, created one of the most memorable and enjoyable gaming experiences I've ever had!

If I'm being honest, I honestly liked the more serious tone in Farcry Instincts. The voice acting was really good and I enjoyed the dialogue quite a bit. I enjoyed Carvers dispassionate sarcasm and I liked how they portrayed the story in general here better then the original. I also loved how they maintained the 1st person perspective in cutscenes. While the controls could have been a little better, it was always immense fun to run after someone at full super speed sprint while following their scent trail and just absolutely obliterate them with your claws. As well, the stealth wasn't half bad...if not broken sometimes and it at least gave you different options in some sections. The canyon level is a personal favorite of mine.

Feel bad for you having to play Far Cry Vengeance.

I love the sci fi elements in this spinoff. Sucks the last scifi Far Cry game is Blood Dragon.

I...actually really liked Instincts and Evolution

Dude, I remember creating a bunch of obstacle course maps for FC Instincts Predator, one of which was called TheThing. The multiplayer was some of the best at the time imo, especially that creepy predator mode where you could hear your heartbeat if the predator was close.

Far Cry Instincts Predator will always hold a nostalgic place in my heart simply because it was one of my first Xbox 360 games.

In Stephen Dorff’s defense, he’s actually a decently underrated actor; he was awesome in True Detective’s third season.

I'm a simple man. I see a Gman video and I watch.

I met Stephen Dorf @ Guitar Center in Chicago back in '06... I screamed "Frost!!" Out all loud & then he gave me a fist bump... Quite random, he was in there looking @ guitar accessories.

Finally a Farcry Instincts and a Farcry Evolution review! I thought I was the only one who knew about this game. This was my first Farcry. Ps: Bring back Jack Carver! 👍

One critical aspect that was overlooked: "The Most Dangerous Game" influences. Addtionally the theme of man versus nature and the subtle questioning of what it means to be human (Are we really better than the "brutal" survivalist nature of animals when we ourselves succumb to nonessential desires of wealth, status, and power?) really set the re-envisioned game apart from the original.

i remember making maps with my friend's and play in splitscreen in our maps we all made damn.. i miss these times

I miss the predators, I wish newer far cry games stuck with that concept. It’s gotten to the point where far cry is a far cry to what far cry used to be... if that makes sense

I found instincts to be really gritty and fun the custom level building was super fun

"I'm not that kind of rebel pal" "I'm not your pal you bastard guy" "I'm not your guy, friend" "i'm not your friend, pal"

I remember instincts being stupidly hard at times, especially those godamn snipers

I don't even remember playing the campaigns in these but I DO remember my friend and I using the xbox games impressive map editor to make stupid boat race levels which was great.

the hemp burning mission in farcry 3 was one of the most iconic gaming moments in my childhood dude, and the soundtrack still bangs to the date

Glad I waited until the very end. I was waiting for the "Bastard Guy!" Great reviews

"I'd use my feral speed in real life - to get a refund". Really got me, good one mate.

I remember when Classic Game Room reviewed Far Cry Vengeance, as well as the AVGN lol!

Woah, wait, was that music from 3D Movie Maker? Also, if you're doing Far Cry, there better be a moment where you take the opportunity to shit on Uwe Boll.

Loving these longer videos! Great work as always. Keep it up gman!

Far cry instincts: evolution was my life for a good while after it released. I spent SO much time making maps, I got a few featured multiple times as map of the week which was awesome. We made our own game-modes too. Man that feels like an eternity ago, seeing these clips brings so much back. Gotta find a way to play it again sometime.

I feel bad for all of the people who didn't grow up playing Far Cry Instinct/Predator's multiplayer mode. It had incredibly detailed mapmaking tools and you could make your own levels, including an incredibly fun mode where a few players play as Predators, and the rest as mercs. With custom levels and incredible creativity, you could have so much fun recreating Predator (the movie) scenes.

Instincts holds a special place to me. The very first XBOX game I played. Predator was my very first X360 game. I didn't play the original FarCry on the PC until many years later. I loved them all.

Great video mate, keep the great content coming, your awesome (also sunburnt Voldermort made me chuckle lol)

Man, Instincts was a fantastic sendoff to the OG Xbox if you ask me! Shame it was held back by the tech (Although it absolutely pushed it to it's limits!) but the gameplay was fucking ace. If any game deserves a remake, it's Instincts! I'd even settle for a crappy PC Port!

I played the hell out Instincts back in the day. Spent days on mapmaker. This and Timesplitters Future Perfect

Thank you so much for your videos man. Thoroughly entertaining and I love how well presented and honest they feel. Never really been into PC gaming and fps games tbh but you've gave me a way in and I'm loving what I'm getting to experience now.

8:23 this is when he knew...he was Loving it lol Great coverage and video. Awesome commentary man

Steven dorff was in a 80s horror film called the gate, it's pretty good lol

You should try playing The Conduit/Conduit 2 for the Wii.

Stephen Dorff also stars alongside Ben Stiller in the intro to the Limp Bizkit - Rollin' film clip, as well as Britney's "Everytime"

Coolest part of instincts was being able to go prone, then lay on your back and shoot upwards through floorboards and such. Shame such dynamic stealth stuff wasn't used past the first level or two

27:14 Thank you so much for this. It really made my day.

After playing Instincts: Predator, I wish we had more weapon diversity around the beginning of the game. It was mostly just the MP5 in the game. I have no problem with the MP5, but seriously, I was like "when are we gonna have M4's, Desert Eagles, and M249's?". We got to them eventually, though. I do agree that Crowe was a problem.

your original Far Cry video was how I found your channel many years ago. Great to see you revisit it

I've watched you review so many old school games, just hearing your voice gives me nostalgia lol.

Is that Bela Lugosi from Ed Wood at 7:01? LOL

Great video, thanks, bastard guy! THE POWER OF ONE. ... starring Stephen Dorff, with John Gielgud and Morgan Freeman. It was also the first movie Daniel Craig ever appeared in.

Always a joy to see a new video from the gman

I've been asking you for the FC: Instincts Predator for years, and you did not disappoint. Thank you, good sir

Here I was looking up videos about this some time ago thinking when you would eventually cover these ports.

Stephen Dorff was amazing in True Detective.

The map editor in Instincts was FUCKING AMAZING!!! Literally have not seen one on that scale in a console since

Oh boy Instincts has a special place in my heart. I played the original on PC beforehand and was really looking forward to this console version. Also I really liked how you can build your own map. Constructing levels was way easier and less complicated for me to do it compared to the PC version. I invited my friends over and we would play on each other's custom maps. Hell even my sister was down with it. I just remember one of the map so I made was called Conquistador and it went high in the sky. Never had XBL so I couldn't upload it on there but I was damn proud of that map. One thing I do remember is the scene where you are injected. You are tied up and it is dark out and you start to hallucinate. I remember talking about this to my teacher Mr. Robertson. I still remember him after all these years. We swapped CDs (he was a hard-rock kinda guy), he played guitar in class, and to appeal to the student majority he played Snoop Dogg. The thing I remember most about him was a joke he told in class. He's a geometry teacher and to get us to understand what a 180 degree angle looks like he told us it is similar to his girlfriend he had in eighth grade.They are both flat. If by some miracle you are reading this Mr. Robertson thank you for high school fun. Now that the pleasantrys are out of the way, I have to say this game drags on. Your review was very fair. It also took me a damn near 3 hours to complete one level. It was the fuckin Sub-Aquatics level. One point you forgot to mention is the UNSKIPABLE INTRO GLITCH. Holy fucking hell that was like a 3-minute intro that you could not skip. Add that to the list when you want someone to really hate your game, next to the Kamikaze enemies (**cue Serious Sam**) Thanks for the video Gman! 👍

I used to spend hours playing Instincts and Evolution, to me they were perfect, hours on level editor, replaying my favourite missions. Good memories, regardless of the games quality.

I really enjoyed the early Far Cry games. 1 was definitely my favourite of the bunch, but I enjoyed instincts for providing a completely different experience and it looked pretty gorgeous on my xbox 1. (it was easy to be blown away by graphics back then imo :3) My favourite part of instincts was the map editor. I'd spent hours with friends just making levels and then goofing around in them. Whether it was races on hang gliders or jetskis or just hide and seek and where one had the predator serum and the other just had to survive. The ability to make "gorgeous" tropical islands on the xbox was truly fun.

I feel like a spent an entire year when I was thirteen just making maps on Instincts. In reality it was probably a few weeks, but in my memories it was years.

You are awesome mate . Loved your reviews

"... Computer melting tech demo..." Nah, Crysis was basically cold war 2; electric boogaloo. ... _it turned PC's everywhere into nuclear warheads. It was glorious._

The map editor and local multiplayer was so good and fun they inspired me to become a game developer. I haven't seen another game do it so well ever again. Halo forge was close. The following far cry's, while having a cool editor, didn't have versus multiplayer anymore sadly.

F*#k yeah bro I can't believe you made this video, I've been getting into farcry like crazy lately and wanted to see a video like this, your a legend mate.

I love those little sound effects you throw in, so damn much hahaha

"Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?" "Sounds huge." "It is." "I know." "Are you complaining?" "Don't keep me waiting." "I know."

Stephen Dorff got that Cliff Bleszinski vibe about him.

Farcry Instincts holds many of my favorite multiplayer memories. I remember having a blast making custom maps that my friends and I would play in my parent's basement, on dad's newly acquired Sony Bravia 1080p 55''. I would design the maps with my friend's playstyles in mind and make traps for them, like putting a vehicle in a particular spot hoping my speed-loving friend would pick it up and run it off the cliff I conveniently hid nearby. My best memory is from when we played one of my extremely unbalanced maps. Two of my friends and I decided to cooperate to kill my one friend, who was abusing the imbalance to the fullest by camping in the sniper tower. We ended up climbing the ladder at the same time when my camping friend accidentally fell down, landing on the guy furtherest up the ladder, who then fell down creating a chain reaction resulting in all of us falling down to die. We were so shocked as all of us assumed there wouldn't be any collision. We literally rolled on the floor laughing for at least 10 minutes, and every time we were on the brink of collecting ourselves, my friend with the most contagious laugh would break out in laughter, again and again. I don't remember exactly but I think the guy in the tower actually won because of that as well, since he got the kills he needed before he hit the ground. Or maybe the time just ran out. I can't remember honestly Anyways, awesome times!

The fact that Far Cry Instincts looked and played like it did on the original Xbox was astonishing by itself. I still play it on my original Xbox, and prefer it to the remastered versions. You are right about the last section of the game though, but in overall back in the day it was a great feat having this on a console.

I still believe in that theory that Jack is Jackal, look at that Hawaiian shirt and African shirt, LOOK AT IT. *xfiles theme*

"FarCry's ambitious and magnificent console exclusives" - minimme

Far cry instincts was mine and my buds favourite split screen game growing up! The map editor added infinite replay value

This review was so good. I just finished Far Cry and wanted to know what this DLC's are all about. I'm glad you explain this video so well. Funny too!

Loved these games, I also spent a lot of time in the map editor making levels and sharing them with friends and vice versa. I agree the Evolution story is miles better than Instincts. Also worth noting the aiming in Predator seems to be bugged since the Original Xbox version of the game the aiming is far superior. Weird!

Honestly surprised you enjoyed evolution more then instincts, I find it way more generic and much less fun then instinsts. I never had any issues with checkpoints and I actually feel like instincts was amazing and a lot of your complaints are why I love it. The immersion and music is great and the levels are great. And the levels do have a lot of variety when you can go different ways, cliffs especially I’m still finding different ways to go to this day. Also Doyle was working for the CIA in instincts

nice I was asking for this review like 4 years ago happy to see it :)

I just got into Far Cry, played 5 first, then New Dawn, now 4. Being that I just started getting into your videos this was great to see!

Oooo, remember playing a few of these pirated on my modded Xbox as a kid. Had completely slipped out of my memory

Far Cry Instincts Primal was my favourite Far Cry. I bought the first one on PC and was incredibly pissed that it wasn't the same game.

You're nuts. I love that main battle theme in Instincts with the electric guitar riff.

My dad bought my siblings and I an xbox, with this as one of our first games. The Melee lunge in an FPS might have been what flicked the switch in my brain to start smashing shit when I probably Shouldn't. Krieg in BL2, Amara in 3, Titan with Wormgod Gauntlets, it explains it all

Honestly, I've always thought the Instinct series was way more fun than regular Far Cry 1.

I love how i get roasted while watching your videos. Feels like home 🙂

Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this!

The map editor was the bees knees back in the day. Lots of good memories building maps and playing split screen with buddies, all the while I knew where all the health packs and good guns were stashed.

Me: I should study for tomorrow's exams. Gman: Uploads. Me: Maths can wait.

Instincts was my first experience with the Far Cry series and I remember liking it a lot. I dont really care how good it actually was now, those fond memories will always remain fond to mee.

My best memories of this game was playing the multiplayer with friends. The map maker was pretty fun and people made some pretty cool obstacle courses that did some pretty interesting stuff with the mechanics of the game. I like to think that playing these kinds of maps for hours really helped me get pretty good at doing 3-D platforming. I would highly recommend trying to check them out if you can. There's sadly no map search function unlike the other games but I'd bet some viewers still have some map files on their consoles. I think I have a lot of them still on my 360. There may be some places online that have some of the maps but I wouldn't know too much about them.

Wow, thanks for posting this! Days of the Original Xbox were the golden days of many people's lives. Loved the Farcry games and played them multiple times.

I really wish they’d bring back Predator Mode.

This is why I subscribe. God damn this is good content.

"I am not your pal you bastard guy!" Had me dead

Ah, motion controls. The pinnacle of gameplay. Totally not a gimmick at all.

I I were to recommend a really good FPS on Wii, go with Red Steel 2. I want to stress: Red Steel 2. Don't bother with the first Red Steel.

Instincts Predator had amazing multiplayer in the early 360 days. Great map editor and fun gameplay utilizing the predator abilities. Would really love to see the series take a return to the supernatural. Imagine a game like Far Cry 5 in coop where you and a friend can super sprint and jump and claw dudes to shreds

I loved in New Dawn when you got similar powers as these games; hit me with a truck of nostalgia as me and my friends used to play predator mode in Instincts Evolution back in the day
