The game’s protagonist Jason Brody stages an attack on a shipbreaker yard where a bunch of bad guys happen to be. He isn’t entirely alone, and he has help over the radio. As he makes his way through the yard, he guns down goons and blows up a bunch of things like the one man army that he is.

In the past, Far Cry’s vision of a first-person shooter RPG where you explore, master and then control your environment has always been more seductive on paper than any of its developers have managed to deliver on disc. Far Cry 3 changes all that. For me, this is the new apex predator of open-world shooters. Hunt it down as soon as you can.

The violence in the single-player is not just more satisfying but it has meaning too. By the end of the game you’re left shell-shocked not just because of the exhilarating action, but because it’s been used for something other than just getting your adrenaline pumping.

After two remarkable but uneven offerings, Far Cry finally pulls everything together in the third installment. The diverse open-world action, compelling story, and an alluring environment that begs exploration are all high water marks for the series. This is an island adventure all shooter fans should experience.

Far Cry 3 isn’t too much of a departure, once you actually get to grips with the landscape that stretches behind that fidgety, histrionic exterior. It is, however, handily the best game in the series so far, and deserves to hold its head high among this winter’s noisy crowd of sandbox offerings. If madness is repetition, this is one reworking of a formula I don’t mind losing my mind to.

Packed with content, visually stunning and simply fun to play, it’s difficult to find fault with Far Cry 3. Once you step into Jason’s shoes, the urge to explore takes over, and you’ll find yourself wasting hours wandering the island and trying to complete "just one more objective." Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Far Cry 3 shines in its campaign, which is more layered and compelling than any game proffering a power trip through escapist ultraviolence has any right to be. You could dismiss it all as offensive macho garbage, sure, but you could also read it as a unblinking look at the primal appeal of becoming capable at dishing out violence and how the confidence this confers can both attract and repel others. It’s the sort of impact that could only be made by a video game, as in this medium neither responsibility for one’s actions nor risk to one’s well-being are realistic concerns. It’s like disconnecting one’s mind from reality; nothing is real, everything is permitted and madness is the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card.

Far Cry 3 has effectively managed to bring a level of unparalleled insanity to a franchise that listens to its fans and manages to effectively redefine itself with each outing. Far Cry 3′s deep open world experience filled with its cast of unforgettably insane characters, entertaining storyline, vibrant visuals and varied gameplay makes it one of the best open world games to touch down in 2012. While the multiplayer aspects of the game are not quite as memorable and have fallen a bit behind other triple A shooters already on the market, as an entire package Far Cry is an impressive feat and one that should be under a lot of trees this holiday season.

Don’t let an uninspired online experience keep you from Far Cry 3, though. You’ll have to go it alone to see all its wild thrills, but those unique situations and over-the-top conflagrations are undoubtedly worth some lonely time spent tramping through the jungle.
