Far Cry Vengeance is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for the Wii console. Vengeance is a remake of Far Cry Instincts: Evolution, the previous Xbox title, and features three new levels, new weapons, vehicles, and controls.
It is the second Wii game released in North America to have an ESRB rating of Mature (after Ubisoft's own Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent). The game received largely negative reviews upon release. Most reviewers criticized the graphics, overly compressed FMVs, and poor AI on the enemies, though saying the controls were good.
The game takes full advantage of the Wii Remote and its Nunchuk attachment. For example, the player can make the character jump by lifting the nunchuk. Weapons are aimed by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen, and melee attacks are carried out by making a slashing motion with it. The zoom on sniper rifles will similarly be controlled by moving the Wii Remote towards the television. Split screen Chaos mode (standard deathmatch) is included. The popular map maker mode, as well as online play, are absent from the Wii version of the game, and no WiiConnect24 features are utilized.
The Wii version also includes exclusive content, such as a new storyline, three new maps, including "Tourist Resort, an abandoned World War II base and a petrol refinery," as well as new weapons that include, among others, the Bull .44 large-caliber revolver, the AK-47,and a shotgun.
The game begins with Carver, the protagonist, in a bar, when a woman named Kade asks him to meet her later. He agrees, but is arrested before he can meet her. While in prison, he learns that Kade is working with a group of rebels. He soon escapes while a man with supernatural speed named Semeru attacks the police station. Carver eventually meets Kade on the beach.
