Ok its a fairly big post and its Pretty detailed and its not even all of it... ill post link if you want to read with screenies.. Its a review by Ownt :D

Rember kids... Far Cry RoXorZ your BoXorZ :P

Game Intro
You are Jack Carver running your own boat charter business in beautiful Micronesia. With a past best left behind you, you'll be focusing on your present assignment: escorting an ambitious journalist named Valerie Cortez to the Island of Cabatu. It seems like a piece of cake, but you'll soon learn: paradise can be hell.

You begin the game by being attacked by heavily armed soldiers. Your boat is destroyed and you barely escape to find yourself in a deserted bunker, accessed through an underwater tunnel, where you then begin the training mission.

Throughout this preview there is commentary by Far Cry's Lead Producer, Christopher Natsuume. On another side note, the preview build was only capable of running in 1024x768, otherwise we would have at least taken shots in 1600x1200.

Character Introduction
Jack Carver
You are Jack Carver and you gave up a mysterious life of danger to drop out of society and work as a South sea captain. You are not out to kick ass, but when a journalist you are transporting is kidnapped on the Island of Cabatu, you are pushed into a corner and are going to come out with both fists swinging.
Val Cortez, the Journalist
She's the whole reason you're in this mess. She had to charter a boat to the Island of Cabatu, which is swamping with nasty things. Who would be the captain of this charter, but you? It's not too rough going, but once she's kidnapped, it's time for you to clear the island of foes and, on the side perhaps, discover an even bigger plot.

Doyle. The Contact
Doyle is there to provide you with your basic information and the narrative on what you should be doing. He informs you of what you need to do to complete each "mission". Strange though, someone on the inside, who knows the inner workings of the island, yet he's willing to help you find out just what's going on in the island.

Krieger, the Scientist
Krieger is the mad scientist that is your everyday Dr. Monroe. Another scientist who thought if he moved to a deserted island that he could conduct experiments and create unnatural creatures. Krieger is the main man and you don't see him much in the gameplay. Most of what you know of him is all hearsay. He's the guy who keeps throwing more guys at you for you to slaughter.

For Every Action
Some of the actions and reactions you will find in Far Cry are detailed below:

Sneaking past guards can be done by simply crouching in bushes. Silenced weapons can be used to take out enemies without other enemies being alarmed. If they see their dead compadre, because they didn't hear any gun fire they will turn and look around, but won't set off an alarm immediately. You can literally take out large platoons using this tactic. If you wait too long before taking out the entire nearby group of soldiers, one will call for backup because his buddies are dropping like flies.

Most of the time huts are always full of goodies you will need--new weapons, new gadgets, health, etc.

Much like in the Far Cry demo, you can use binoculars to listen in on conversations. After having some playtime with Far Cry, I noticed that some of the same lines would be said over and over after only a short period of time while watching enemies through binoculars.

Tactics - You are able to use multiple different tactics during the game. You can sneak around without alarming any guards; you can run in guns blazing; or you can look for environmental objects that can aid you in taking out enemy soldiers. Barrels, for instance, can be rolled down hills, killing any soldier who dares face the rolling barrel of death.

Vehicles can be driven over enemies to squash them under your tires; But, if there are other nearby vehicles, the soldiers can get in them and come after you.

If the soldiers are not already in a vehicle, they will not get into a vehicle and run you over. They will only get into vehicles in order to pursue you if you are in one as well. Therefore, it's always best to destroy any nearby vehicles before GTAing the last one and smearing some red on the island.

Bleh, already knew that (BTW, it's "Valerie", not "Val", that's just her nick). Also, Valerie has CIA ties as well, and they come into play later in the game. Um, no I don't have an inside informant.
