* SleeperHit: ''Far Cry'' was a new IP by an untested developer that no one really expected much out of, especially since it was coming out in a year that also saw the highly anticipated releases of ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', ''VideoGame/Halo2'' and ''VideoGame/Doom3''. When the game came out, critical acclaim and strong word of mouth made it one of the most successful shooters of an already stacked year, paving the way for both [[VideoGame/FarCry a franchise]] and [[VideoGame/{{Crysis}} a spiritual successor]].

* [[BannedInChina Banned in Germany]]: A major objection was that corpses are still physics-enabled objects, offending Germany's many zombies. This explains why ''Crysis'' has enemy ragdoll physics disable themselves almost immediately on death and why ''Far Cry 2's'' animals behave like they're filled with helium.

** Kinda ironic, considering that it was made by a German developer. However, a censored (but still quite bloody) version is sold freely in Germany.
