Pros
Pro Immersive destruction that can change gameplay
Each level in the multiplayer section of the game has fully destructible elements, meaning that a certain area of a level can be opened up to new tactics due to a missing structure. This keeps the strategy of each game fully immersive as things can change on the fly.
Pro 64 Players Mode
Pro Options in play due to creativity
There are so many ways to tackle a situation that makes this game what it is. In one instance you could lure an animal towards enemies in order to kill them, or in another you could run everyone over with a truck. Even better is that explosives can be attached to things, even vehicles, so you can even send the vehicle towards a crowd and blow it up from a distance. Basically you are free to choose how you want to approach just about every situation in the game and those that feel like playing around have the chance to get really creative, which is half the fun.
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 Poor writing in campaign mode
The story in the campaign mode is pretty lacking and never fully fleshes out the characters contained within. It can be difficult to care about what is going on, which is a disappointment as there is little reason to continue forward as far as the story is concerned.
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.
