The game’s design supports a range of gameplay styles. It’s an open-world FPS that has you capturing garrison points, hunting wild life and saving “nerds” while carrying on a main plot that mainly involves killing a bunch of cyborg baddies. If you’re familiar with Far Cry there won’t be many surprises in the gameplay. This mod-gone-mainstream doesn’t even require Far Cry 3 to play it, it’s available as completely stand-alone product. It’s a readily available (even for dirty console gaming peasants) and actually has a fair amount of press surrounding it. But this isn’t something that only the glorious PC gaming master race is going to check out. Crafty PC gamers have been making mods with varying degrees of craziness since the Doom days. This kind of re-skinning of an existing game is far from a new idea. Blood Dragon delights in references to Schwarzenegger flicks and hilariously over-the-top action. Mechanically it’s still Far Cry 3, but the presentation and story are pure parody. It’s essentially Far Cry 3 wrapped in an 80s sci-fi/action-movie skin. Ubisoft Montreal asked, “Why not take the existing technology and do something ridiculous with it?” And ridiculous Blood Dragon is. When the game finally comes out, they hope for the best and move on to the next project. Developers toil over the technology for a big-budget FPS for years. When you consider the ginormous production costs of modern video games, it’s amazing that something like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon isn’t a regular occurrence.
