Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Review

Everything about this game is an 80's gag, specifically Terminator, and maybe some Escape from New York. The music plays a key part in this feeling. The cutscenes are the antithesis of FMVs - they are 16-bit sprites that are prolonged, cliched antics that can be skipped. This game shows that Ubisoft doesn't take itself too seriously. Blood Dragon feels more like a mod rather than a standalone game and if you're not familiar with 80's pop culture then the game's purpose is lost on you. It is an FPS that claims an unabashed sense of explosed action, but strangely, stealth takedowns, are far easier to perform than aiming a weapon, not to mention it gives you more experience points to gain new abilities.

It would have been nice to have a multiplayer option to round this title off but that would make it more than a gag.
