Far Cry is a first-person shooter computer game developed by a German Company, Crytek Studios and published by Ubisoft on March 23, 2004 for Windows. Far Cry sold 730,000 units within four months of release[1] and has currently sold over 1 million copies worldwide. The original game has since spawned several console ports and a movie.

The game's story follows an ex-Special Forces operative, 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 boat was destroyed by mercenaries. The game includes thematic elements relating to the dangers of genetic engineering and the genocide of local islanders as can be seen by the deformed creatures created by a mad scientist named Krieger.

The terrain in Far Cry varies greatly. Set on a South Pacific archipelago, the landscape includes beaches, tropical rainforests, dense jungles, towering canyons, mines, swamps, and even volcanic forests. Many of the interiors range from simple beach huts and army camps to elaborate complexes, an underground temple, and ultra-modern research labs. Several of these mazes use the remains of WWII Japanese-era fortifications and bunkers.
