    Ragdoll physics like far cry on pc where it's even fun to shoot them with a pistol. but iam not rich I can't afford a pc powerful enough to play far cry on pc

    Um why do people seem to think the graphics are great, infact i was very dissapointed.
    The graphics and textures reminded me of the Counter Strike Xbox version, and the harsh edgy shadows reminded me of Playstation 1, just crouch and look at the shadows, the edges are constructed from squares, where as in Halo 2 the shadows are dam near perfectly melded with the environment.
    The trees looked jagged and unatural, infact they looked exactly like the trees from counter strike on xbox, the textures were nicer than counterstrike but still have the same square surfaces when viewed up close.
    To say the least im very dissapointed with the extremely poor graphics, the best graphics are the nice water effects, but even then the blurring of water works in a scrolling animation.
    Not to mention the extremely poor A.I...
    3 bodies lay on the ground in a pile, and the last merc says "Hmm nothings wrong here, must have been a bird or something.", now that just made me shake my head in dissapointment.

    Im sure the **** graphics wont have any effect on the gameplay but its still dissapointing considering its one of the last Xbox titles.

    The only thing im looking forward to is the extremely fun looking Multiplayer, which seems to merge the mayhem of Halo with the skillful and realistic weapons from Counter Strike, my only gripe is the lack of the common 'Jump Crouch' manouver which gamers have come to love.

    Could you explain that "jump crouch" thing?

    My only problem was when on the beach for the first time, the sand was blinding. I could still make out the guys, but man.

    I just finished the demo last night to EARLY EARLY morning (like 2-3am). Cause I was playing the other demos too. But man I attack the guards and was amazed by the different ways to approach a level.

    The first time I stayed on land, but then last night I got into that first boat you see before the dock area. I rode that around took out the other boat, rode around and shot the mercs close to water. I noticed a structure in a closed area, but decided not to approach it and wind up finding it while running through the forest.

    I LOVED IT!
