Far Cry

Far Cry is a first-person shooter computer game developed by Crytek Studios from Germany and published by Ubisoft on March 23, 2004 for Windows. Far Cry sold 730,000 units within four months of release. The game's story follows an ex-Military Police officer named Jack Carver, who is stranded on a mysterious archipelago in Micronesia. He is searching for a female journalist he was escorting after she went missing when their sailboat was destroyed by mercenaries.

Far Cry Instincts

Far Cry Instincts is a video game developed and published by Ubisoft for the Xbox console. It is not a direct port of the PC game Far Cry, as Instincts was designed more with the console in mind. The gameplay is not as open ended as the former. It makes up for this by including extra multiplayer modes through the Xbox Live service, alongside new abilities (feral powers) and a map creator mode which allows the users to create their own maps for multiplayer.

Far Cry Instincts: Evolution

Far Cry Instincts: Evolution is a sequel to Instincts, sharing the same name except for the addition of the subtitle Evolution, and was released for the Xbox on March 27, 2006. Evolution includes a new single-player campaign, although it is considerably shorter than the campaign found in Far Cry Instincts. The storyline focuses on Jack Carver's work for a woman named Kade, which results in him being hunted by local governments due to a frame-up during a botched arms deal.

Far Cry Instincts: Predator

Far Cry Instincts: Predator, an Xbox 360 title, was released on the same day as Evolution. It includes graphically enhanced versions of both Far Cry Instincts and Evolution.

Far Cry Vengeance

Far Cry Vengeance is a video game developed and published by Ubisoft for the Wii console. It was released on December 12 2006. Far Cry: Vengeance is similar to Far Cry Instincts: Evolution in that Vengeance has pretty much the same story as Evolution, and also features three new levels, new weapons and vehicles, and different controls.
