Taking your first one down is an awesome feeling. Blood Dragons are no doubt the result of your post-fallout world. In the meantime, you can explore the seizure-inducing world to unlock outposts (which give you access to weapon upgrades), find secrets in the many hidden VHS tapes scattered throughout the world, and do glorious battle with game’s most potent enemy – Blood Dragons. You’re given story missions, but are free to pursue them whenever you want. Gameplay progression is similar to that of Far Cry 3. The world is presented in bright neon colors and the soundtrack could be lifted from any action movie from the decades it pulls inspiration from. If you’re a fan of 80’s and 90’s action movies, you’re going to love the dialogue, plot, and the 16-bit inspired cut-scenes.īlood Dragon keeps things interesting – and simple – by having a unique visual and gameplay style that melds well with the over-the-top plot and outrageous weapons. You’re charged with taking down your mentor-gone-bad in a post-apocalyptic alternate reality where the world has been nuked so much, it has literally turned it into a neon disco dance club. The game starts you off riding shotgun in a helicopter and what follows is one of the most fun and crazy openings – and closings, but more on that later – that I’ve had in recent memory. Rex Power Colt, voiced by the man who took down the Terminator and fought Xenos alongside Ripley, Michael Biehn – he’s part man, all cyber commando (the game’s tagline, not mine). And for good reason.įar Cry 3: Blood Dragon puts you in the cyber-shoes of Sgt. But now, for what seemed to be a cheesy add-on, has turned into one of Ubisoft’s most sold DLCs to date. Sure, the game shares some gameplay mechanics with Far Cry 3, but it’s so different in its execution, it should be labeled simply, “Blood Dragon.” The only reason I can see as to why they decided to do this was to piggyback on the success of Far Cry 3 so players could have familiar ground to stand on when dropping their hard earned cash. In all honesty, after playing through Blood Dragon, I’m not sure why Ubisoft decided to label this as a Far Cry 3 add-on.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is the latest lovechild from Ubisoft’s Shanghai and Montreal studios. Well now instead of watching them, you can play one of them. You know those cheesy action movies you love to watch? The ones that you can watch over and over with a group of friends, quote the best lines from, and laugh at their sheer destructive violence.
Read on and let me try to convince you why you shouldn’t miss out on this gem of a game. If by chance you’ve been living under a rock and have no idea what I’m talking about. If you’ve been following video games this past week, you’ve hopefully heard about Far Cry 3’s new add-on.
