BLOOD DRAGON:

The year is 2007. It is the future. The world has been overrun by killer cyborgs, and only one cyber commando can stop them. This is Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, an amazing FPS that takes its weaponry and style from the films of the 80s and its missions and attitude from the FPSs of the 90s.

The weapons, from Arnie's shotgun from T2, to Robocop's handgun, have a distinct kick that makes the combat addictingly fun. You could spend hours planning out stealth runs to take out dudes with shuriken and a neon katana, or you can charge in with your minigun and a sniper rifle that shoots explosive rounds. I haven't even mentioned the dragons that shoot lasers out of their eyes.

Graphics:

Straight out from what the future would’ve looked like if you were imagining it from the 1980s. Neon lights, multicolored lasers and robotic arms are seen throughout the entire game. Some might even say they are too bright.

Storyline:

It’s a very simple – “get the girl and save the world because you’re the only one who can do it!”. I guess it’s the 1980s and this would be the norm, but it just seemed a bit too generic for me really; they should’ve tried something more unique as with sticking with the original theme. Nonetheless, the game will feed you a ton of 80s references and over the top comedy that will keep you entertained for the rest of the game.

Sound:

Do I even need to say anything here?? I mean it’s just pure awesomeness with everything about the soundtracks. Especially the voice acting and the minigun sound…they are so satisfying to hear.

Gameplay:

You either go in quiet and unnoticed or just go in full metal mode and barge in the room with your shotgun, it’s up to you. You’ll have fun either way. The weaponry, the enemies and the vehicles are well refined to have an enjoyable game play. The only downsides are the random frame drops when the game Auto Saves and it requires Uplay for you to be able to play.

The Positives:

• Graphics that still hold up very well
• An atmosphere and story featuring a retro 1980's sci fi theme. The game is completely self aware of this and uses every cliche and over top gimmick it can think of and cram into one story. If you grew up in the 80's and you enjoyed
  cheesy b-level movies, this game nails that feeling.
• A variety of guns with attachments that can be unlocked by completed some very easy side quests.
• Solid shooting mechanics.
• A soundtrack ripped straight from the original terminator and that’s awesome.

The Negatives:

• The game has scan lines to give it a more retro feeling, unfortunately this makes the game look worse with no option to
  turn it off. Luckily you can hex edit a file to remove them.
• Its not a very long game however the game doesn't over extend its stay either.
• As per every Ubisoft game, expect pointless collectibles.

The Verdict:

85/100

This is one of the most fun games I have ever played. It's like watching Terminator, Predator, Aliens, Robocop and just a hint of Star Wars all rolled into one. If you like 80s/very early 90s cyberpunk/action films and you are a fan of first person shooters particularly open-world like Far Cry or Crysis, then what are you waiting for?

Give this one a go!
