Introduction:
Welcome to the third instalment of the Far Cry series. As Jason Brody, alone on a tropical island, you will have to confront the dark side of humanity. Gamers will be impelled to act as he learns more about the horror and corruption that is taking place on the island.
NOTE:
There seems to be an issue when playing Coop and when unlocking the story based achievements linked to it. Sometimes they unlock, while in other circumstances sometimes they don't. For more information, please go HERE.
Playthroughs:
The game should only take you one whole playthrough to complete and this includes the added addition of the coop missions. They are pretty straight forward and aren't too tasking. It's quite a delight to play. As you play through the game, main and side missions will become available to you as well as WANTED Dead, Path of the Hunter, Supply Drop quests and Trial of the Rakyat. When these do, you'll want to complete these before the main missions as added XP is gained and adds to your advantage plus towards further achievements. The game is made up of a few story related achievements that can't be missed, so don't worry about these. They will unlock as you progress through the main missions. The rest shouldn't cause you any other issues, so overall the game is a easy 1000.
Coop:
Playing the coop missions is very similar to the main story, but you will be playing with a friend(s). You have a route before you that you must take and objectives given to you. You can also complete these missions via split-screen, so don't worry if you can't find a friend to join you via LIVE.
Miscellaneous:
There're plenty of miscellaneous achievements in Far Cry 3. Some you can get early on, while others will require you to uncover the island to reach certain spots. As well as that, some again will require certain weapons, equipment and so forth.
Collectibles:
You've been let off lightly with these achievements, as for one set (Relics), you don't have to collect all 120. Grabbing all the collectables in the game or the set amount required isn't too hard. Though there's a bit of traveling involved, each one will soon been shown on you map.
Conclusion:
Overall the game is not hard at all and quite a lot of fun to 100%. Difficulty does not matter, so feel free to put it on the lowest or the hardest one depending on your skill.
