Original Far Cry is pretty neat actually. It was an odd series where it went from "Large levels shooter" to "Flawed open world shooter with cool fire" to the modern "Go all over, climb towers for more map, and upgrade stuff" formula.

Like Crysis afterwards, it felt like a "tech demo game".

The original Far Cry was fun even though it feels VERY dated these days. The AI can be challenging, the weapons are fun enough, and about 50-60% through the game you start fighting ridiculously unbalanced enemies that frustrated everyone! :D But it's still good in the way a silly B-movie is good.

Better version of similar gameplay? Crysis. Crysis was so cool.
