Far Cry 3 is a first-person action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft and Ubisoft Montreal. Although Far Cry 3 is the third game in the series, neither the first or second Far Cry games are linked together, each game has different characters and narrative plot lines. One thing is in common amongst all three of these games, they are all action packed and will leave you with hours of entertainment. Far Cry 3 was released to the public on November 29th, 2012 in Australia, November 30th in the United Kingdom, and December 4th throughout North America. An expansion to this game titled ‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’ was also released on April 30th, 2013, just a year and a couple months after the third Far Cry game was brought to light.

Storyline

Jason Brody, the main character in the game and the character that you control during gameplay, is on vacation with a couple of his friends. The group of adventurists are on the Rook Islands celebrating Jason’s younger brother’s success on earning his pilots license. In order to celebrate a pilot’s license, you must go skydiving in the tropics! The group of friends ends up landing on a pirate infested island where they are quickly takin for prisoners and are in the process of being sold as slaves. Jason is able to just barely escape, he is then rescued by a man named Dennis. Dennis is a member of the islands native tribe, the Rakyat tribe. Dennis realizes how strong Jason is and immediately recognizes his potential in becoming a great warrior within this tribe. Jason is then given the ‘tatau’ (tattoo) that symbolizes and represents the Rakyat tribe. From this point forward, Jason works with his new group and completes missions for them. While helping the Rakyat tribe take back the island that was rightfully theirs until the pirates stole it, Jason searches and rescues for the remaining few friends of his that were left imprisoned.
