Here is a summary of what happens in the beginning of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and some impressions from the video…
After the 2D, semi animated cut scenes, the player is on a helicopter, manning a turret on the side. More cutscene ensues, which is then followed by the player being in a rocky area which follows a tutorial for those who’ve never played a video game before. From there you go through more tutorial which guides you through gimmicky stealth kills. The art direction in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is pretty good; lighting is vibrant and colorful although suffers a bit from what I like to call Halo-ism. The game also features some pretty extensive health regeneration. Enemies in Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon range from typical grunts to juggernaut style enemies weilding vulcan cannons. The player character also has a cybernetic arm, which takes damage but can also be repaired.
