Pro Adventure aspects add to what would be a stale FPS
Being able to scale cliffs, hunt and trap animals, and use ones environment as a weapon against enemies adds to the basics of first person shooting making for a fun adventure game on top of a slick FPS.
Cons
Con Short single player campaign
The single player is quite short (though it is not the main focus of the title, as multiplayer is the main reason that one would purchase the game).
Con Environment feels too familiar
While Farcry 1-3 all had different locales that had their own styles, 4 looks much like 3 and is not that much of a departure. For those looking for a different experience it is not going to be found in 4 sadly.
