While the latest entry in the Far Cry franchise is filled with unlikable protagonists, the developers at Ubisoft crafted a truly menacing villain, a thriving ecosystem of wildlife that creates constant tension, and thrilling gameplay that adapts to each gamer's play style. However, not all players have had access to the game's exclusive pre-order content, until today.
IGN reports that The Monkey Business Pack, The Lost Expeditions, The Predator Pack, and The Warrior DLC releases have been consolidated into a $9.99 bundle, now available on Xbox Live.
On the single player front, the M700 Predator Rifle, Tribal Knife, and 6 new single player missions are provided in the Deluxe Bundle. The DLC also includes new animals, such as the White Tiger, Red Vulture, Mountain Lion, and Thylacine. For multiplayer junkies, the Predator Bow, Type-10 Flare, and Shotgun will be unlocked alongside a new character: "Hurk and his monkeys."
In the review circuit, critics adored Far Cry 3's gameplay, but were generally undewhelmed with the story's conclusion.
Giant Bomb writes, "If the story had made good on the strength of its initial premise, Far Cry 3 would have been shoo-in for best game of the year. As it stands, it's still the most fun I've had in an open world in ages, a game that plays so well and looks so good, I wish every other piece of it reached the same high bar. But you should play it anyway."
Polygon adds, "When the story isn't standing in its way, Far Cry 3 sees enormous success with its wide-open world and all the numerous things there are to do therein. Ubisoft has created a mechanically ambitious, exciting game."
