Far Cry 1 vs Just Cause
Far Cry 1
Far Cry 1 is the first game of a pretty popular open world action-adventure game. Assuming the role of Jack Carver, a freelance mariner, you find yourself being hunted by the militia on a beautiful tropical paradise of an island. However, things aren't as they seem and soon after, you will have to decide to take out the militia group and its leader yourself or condemn the world to the maniac's nefarious plans.The gameplay - or should we say gunplay - in Far Cry is simply incredible. Being the hero of the game, you'll have access to a ton of tactical tools, such as motion-sensing binoculars, that will come in handy when taking on larger groups of enemies. You can even engage the enemy stealthily or simply ram down the front gate with an armored vehicle and start mowing your enemies down... how you choose to approach your target is entirely up to you! Of course, let's not forget about the large variety of weapons and vehicles that you can use. The cunning AI system that will also force you to constantly up your game as the enemies find weaknesses in your strategy and exploit it in the next encounter.
Not to mention, the game has impressive graphics for a game of its time and the game environment feels so realistic, especially with the gorgeous setting and the amazing shadow and weather effects. If you love open world shooters, you'll enjoy Far Cry... this we can assure you!
Just Cause
Just Cause is the game to play if you enjoy just destroying anything and everything in your way while enjoying movie-like quality stunts and slow motion effects, which will naturally make your character look super cool. Featuring a wide variety of weapons and vehicles (sea, land and air), Rico (the character you'll be playing as) also has his iconic wingsuit which allows you to explore the island of San Esperito by air and grappling hook that allows you to use scale previously impossible cliffs or sides of buildings and more.Similar to Fallout, Just Cause provides players with total and complete freedom to do whatever they like, however they like. This applies to the game's many missions, side missions, bonus missions and more. The best part about this game though is its over-the-top stunts which in some way parody the crazy cinematically enhanced stunts and effects that many blockbuster Hollywood films use.
Although the storyline in this game falls flat, Just Cause gotten its golden ticket to fame due to the insane amount of explosive destruction that you are allowed to do and the awesome way your character looks when you do it. In a way, Just Cause is a game that's designed as a game-based release valve for all the penned up rage and stress from your everyday lives, giving you a vast game world (and perhaps egging you on) to smash virtual things and people in.
