The other major addition comes behalf of the wild Blood Dragons, hulking, neon-glowing lizards roughly the size of a rhino that can shoot lasers from their mouths. Colt can move faster, fall further and swim longer than Jason from Far Cry 3 could, slanting the game further towards action than stealth.
It’s a fun world to inhabit, but ultimately there isn’t a whole lot of content to go around - a 100% completionist run through will take around 6 hours.įew additions are made to the gameplay, leaving Blood Dragon feeling like a streamlined version of the predecessor, similar to Bioshock 2’s Minerva’s Den DLC. There is a strong tongue-in-cheek vibe to everything, from the scientists wailing their arms as they run away from a cyber-panther, to the collectible VHS tapes scattered around the wildlife. The large open world with wild animals and garrisons to liberate is back, and is still a delight to inhabit. The game plays very similarly to Far Cry 3, leaving Blood Dragon feeling like new coat of paint more than an a unique gameplay experience. He feels one-dimensional and simple, but because of the world he inhabits and the tone the game creates, it fits perfectly and is a ton of fun to play. Colt plays and feels like the action hero in a Stallone movie, cursing and killing his way to saving the dame. After infiltrating the military island of Colonel Sloan, Colt is tasked with infiltrating bases, liberating “science nerds” and saving the day from a deadly nuclear threat.
Players take control of Mark IV Cyber Commando, Sergeant Rex “Power” Colt, a bird-flipping, one liner quipping old school action hero trying to save the world and rescue the girl. Despite some mechanical problems and its relatively short length, Blood Dragon is a gaming experience you certainly will have never had before. As a standalone release for XBLA and PSN, it is a streamlined version of Far Cry 3’s engine, fuelled by machismo and synthesisers.
Set in the dystopian future of 2007 and filled to the brim with cyborgs, lasers, neon and shoulder-pads, it is a truly unique world rarely explored in gaming. Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a love letter to the cheesy action films of the 80’s.
