Far Cry Instincts

Far Cry Instincts is a video game developed and published by Ubisoft for Xbox that was released on September 27, 2005. A remake of the original PC version, Instincts is less open-ended and more linear, due to the console's reduced processing power which prevents the full rendering of the PC version's vast islands and landscape. However, Instincts added new multiplayer modes, weapons, and feral abilities, the latter being reflected in the modified storyline. Ports of the game were also planned for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube but were canceled.

An arcade version developed by Global VR was released in 2007 under the name Paradise Lost.

Ubisoft has released a sequel, Evolution for the Xbox. Also released was Predator for the Xbox 360, which contains both Far Cry Instincts and Evolution running in high definition mode.
