Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is a comedic blast from the past. The game is stylized like an 80's science fiction straight to vhs movie complete with the loading screen looking like scan lines from a t.v. Everything is lined with neon lights and all the weapons eventually shoot lasers!
You play as Rex Power Colt (voiced by Michael Biehn) A cyber enhanced soldier (complete with robotic arms and bionic eye) who's mission is to disable a nuke on an island inhabited by cyborgs led by his ex mentor turned evil. This game was made by ubisoft a while after Far Cry 3 was released, although they share the same name they are in no way related story wise.
This game was a laugh a minute from purposely low quality cutscenes to using a hand grip (pictured left) to restore health Blood dragon was a goofy experience from start to finish.
The game play was virtually identical to Far Cry 3 which means it was easy to learn fun to play and had smart enemy ai that would use battle tactics more advanced than just "stand still and shoot" with the only differences in the game being you run faster jump higher and take no fall damage. The game gets the name Blood Dragon from the gigantic komodo dragon like creatures that the inhabitants of the islands call Blood Dragons due to their thirst of blood robotic or human. The player distracts these monstrous beast by throwing cyborg hearts the player pillages from dead body's at them, this allows the player time to run from it or get ready to fight it.
I give FC3:BD a 7/10 it was a fun game but a very short experience with a normal play through of the game capable of being only 6 hours long

Any game that has "Blood Dragon" in the title has to be AWESOME
