San Francisco, CA (January 21, 2004) - Ubisoft today announced the launch of the single-player demo of Far Cry.

"We are confident that the release of this demo will prove beyond a doubt that Far Cry belongs in the upper echelon of FPS gaming."

The single-player demo offers an action-packed glimpse into the Far Cry world showcasing all the technically-advanced gameplay and jaw-dropping scenes from the full version of the game. Featuring a huge beach-laden level, the demo proudly showcases Far Cry's critically-acclaimed CryENGINE, huge game environments, deadly A.I., and the longest view-distance ever witnessed in a first-person shooter.
