78 / 100ShooterMarch 23, 2004

A tropical paradise seethes with hidden evil in Far Cry, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushed the boundaries of combat to shocking new levels.Freelance mariner Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago, a brash female reporter named Valerie had offered him an incredible sum of cash to take her to this unspoiled paradise. Shortly after docking, however, Jack's boat was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming about the island. With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and the gorgeous Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island, with nothing but a gun and his wits to survive. But the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become. Jack encounters an insider within the militia group who reveals the horrific details of the mercenaries' true intentions. He presents Jack with an unsettling choice: battle the deadliest mercenaries, or condemn the human race to a maniac's insidious agenda.

Steve Buscemi Joins FX's Far Cry Anthology Series in Mystery Role

Steve Buscemi has been confirmed to join the cast of FX's upcoming Far Cry TV series, according to an official press release from the network. He joins previously announced cast members Lizzie Caplan and Rob Mac, the latter of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fame, who is also producing the show. Details on Buscemi's character remain under wraps, though the Far Cry franchise is well known for its memorable villains. Showrunner Noah Hawley, the creative mind behind Fargo and Alien: Earth, has described the series as a "big action show" with an "irreverent, ambitious" tone aimed at "exploring the nature of humanity through a complex and chaotic lens." Like the games, the show will be structured as an anthology, with each season featuring a new cast, setting, and story. It will not adapt any specific game from the franchise. When it does arrive, the series will stream on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally. Production has not yet begun, with a release potentially coming in late 2027 or early 2028.
