Far Cry 3 - DLC Review

 For the Review of the Original Game , Please Click HERE .

You think you have finished FC3 , Well think again . For all those Gamers who are out there who have completed all the main and side missions and captured all the Outposts and are itching for an more of the action adventure , heads up guys FC3 DLC comes with a  huge punch .

The packs were previously only available as pre-order bonuses, but has now come as one convenient bundle including everything from The Lost Expeditions, The Monkey Business Pack, The Warrior, and The Predator Pack, which breaks down individually as:

Hurk

1. Six New  single player missions  from Monkey Business and the Lost Expeditions packs.
2. Four new animals to hunt: the Mountain Lion, Thylacine, White Tiger and Red Vulture
3. Two new single player weapons: Tribal Knife and Hunter’s M700 Predator Rifle
4. Two multiplayer weapon unlocks: Type-10 Flare, Shotgun and Predator Bow
5. One new character: Hurk and his monkeys
6. Two new end of match movies for multiplayer starring Hurk and his monkeys

We will be looking at only the single player Experience here , so lets plunge in .

Unlike AC 3 DLC where we are required to download TOW for 1.5 GB and then install it seperately , FC3 just comes with a code that can be used to unlock the DLC 's . I mean can you believe that . They were already existing in your version but the only thing was that they were hidden from your eyes . Shame on you Ubisoft . We feel Cheated :( . But still is the extra $9.99 really worth it  . Well for FC3 fans it definitely is .

Monkey Business :: 

This is the main mission in the DLC . It starts with you meeting up with a new character called Hurk who looks like a little beefed up version of Woods from COD , ( COD fans, no offense ) . I am just describing what i felt  . Not to mention that this guy was  a little crazy too . If you are playing this after you have completed the Main story then this will get a little weird . Bcos Hurk's main objective is to get in good graces with the Natives . And the only way of doing that was to make an impact with Hoyt's resources . Now guys who have already played the Main story would already know that Hoyt is long gone . But still Jason listens to it as if he is hearing for the first time and turns up with a missing finger  . Oh come on :P .

Although this guy talks a lot he is not that much of an action type. So that leaves you to do all the dirty work , or should i say the fun Work ;-) What starts as an initial help to capture his monkeys , Slowly pulls Jason into a vortex of destruction and Rescue operations and finally into a huge epic battle inside an underwater Cave .

I have to say that the last mission was really tough as nails . U will be forced to fight against waves and waves of Hoyt's men . And taking into the non auto recharge of ur health , u will be cutting some close corners . Make sure that you have ample Health syringes that boost up ur health to full .

In one instance Hurk will call you as his Tattoo Brother or in his slang - ' Tat Bros ' :D . And he will say a word tats a little A rated , so I will refrain myself from using it here .. But when you see  it in the game u will be laughing ..

Lost Expeditions :

Lost expeditions pack is a lot like Indiana Jones adventure . In all the 3 Missions you enter into a underground secret facility .

Mission 1 :: 

You have to enter a facility which is swarming with Pirates and get some valued information that lies scattered in documents all over the place . Once you piece all the info you get a new location .

Mission 2 : 

Got the from the hints of the previous exploration , you enter the facility and just as you enter the entire place starts blowing up and comes down on you . You have to escape from the place without getting killed from the explosions and Fire , also from the pirates who are trapped there and trying to escape too .Thrill ride for sure .

Mission 3 :

This takes a serious turn towards animal Genetics gone wrong . Gives you the creeps at some points and makes you to remember of the First Far cry where you had to battle against mutated  organisms . Brrr! i still remember that moments  . God that was a good game . Well this time its Dogs that you ought to be scared of . But these guys , though they look threatening , just a small burst from your SMG or Shotgun is enough to take them down . Not much of a challenge as I thought it would be .

So apart from the main missions you also get a Tribal Knife which replaces your Machete  ( Not going to make much of an difference as you wont be able to see this )

And some 4 exotic new animals which I failed to find even though  I searched in vain :(

Tribal Knife 

Pro's ::

1. Extended gameplay of your favorite game once again
2. Indiana Jones Style Missions available

Con's ::

1. DLC already exists in the game you own and you just need $ 9.99 for the code to unlock it. Damn tats cheating :P
2. Missions get over soon :P

Overall :: A must own for Fans of FC3

Rating 8.2 / 10
