Ubisoft has done it again; Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, coming out May 1st [tomorrow], has me excited beyond all reason.  It is a love-letter to the action blockbusters of the 1980s; see for yourself below.  Note that you do not have to own the original Far Cry 3 to play Blood Dragon; Blood Dragon is a standalone game.

I was really confused by this game... but it looks awesome. 

Good game.

 

But not enough checkpoints in the first mission.

 

Don't start it unless you have a good open hour in front of you. There's only like 3 checkpoints in the first mission. If you turn the game off, you'll have to start from the beginning the next time you start it up.

 

Otherwise, it was a good way of mixing Far Cry 3 up, and turning it into something we've never really seen before; use of 2D 80's style videogame cut scenes, mixed with gorgeous, lush, 3D graphics in actual gameplay. The red scan lines can be a bit annoying, but you'll get used to it.

 

I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the base Far Cry 3.
