It's a tour de force of video game parody, and quite possibly the most amusing title we've ever played. Ubisoft uses Blood Dragon as a means to take the piss out of the very same gameplay elements. Collect this many skins use this specific gun to kill these bad guys collect these pointless artifacts. One of the few criticisms we had of the original Far Cry 3 was the game's more mechanical aspects. It's an obtuse trend that continues through to the end of the campaign, as the team behind Blood Dragon takes great pleasure in breaking down the fourth wall and gently mocking their own systems and mechanics. An exasperated Colt tells the voice of the HUD to take a walk (in 18-rated terms), he knows what he's doing, and so do we, but that doesn't stop the tutorial from very deliberately spelling it out exactly what we need to know.
We're explicitly told how to walk, look, run. We learn the basic mechanics, but they're delivered in such a hilarious way that we're left in no doubt as to what to expect from the downloadable campaign. The gravelly tones of Rex Colt (played by Michael Biehn) set the scene.
