Far Cry Vengeance

Far Cry Vengeance is a first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft exclusively for the Wii. It was released in December 2006 and is a modified port of Far Cry Instincts: Evolution for the Xbox, using the same version of CryEngine. It also contains new levels, weapons, vehicles, and Wii-specific controls.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Horrendous visuals, even by Wii standards.
 * 2) Incredibly short draw distance.
 * 3) Large amount of screen-tearing.
 * 4) Pixelated and dumbed down foliage.
 * 5) Blurry textures and basic lighting effects.
 * 6) Crummy looking water, and when you're underwater, it's incredibly foggy, making it look like the kind of underwater environments you'd have seen in a mh:awesomegames:Nintendo 64 game.
 * 7) Jerky camera.
 * 8) Sluggish, inconsistent frame-rate.
 * 9) Compressed, blurry FMV cutscenes.
 * 10) Compressed sound effects.
 * 11) Audio sometimes cuts out completely,
 * 12) Music is often nonexistent.
 * 13) Stupid enemy AI. If you just stand around at let them shoot you, it takes them several minutes to land enough hits to kill you.
 * 14) No online multiplayer; the local multiplayer mode included is dull and suffers from the same problems as single-player.
 * 15) No map editor.
 * 16) Some of the control mappings are idiotic. To jump, you have to flick the Nunchuk upwards, and to zoom-in, you have to jab the Wii Remote toward the screen (a la Red Stee l).
 * 17) Large amount of bugs and glitches.
 * 18) False advertising: The game's visuals don't look anywhere as good as the screenshots on the back of the box, which appear to be taken from the Xbox 360 version.
 * 19) It is unfortunately the first and only game in the series on a Nintendo console, and a terrible way to introduce them to, which explains why no Far Cry games have not been ported/released on Nintendo consoles and handhelds since then.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Compared to a lot of other early Wii titles, the motion controlled-aiming is actually reasonably accurate and responsive.
