\u201cLike many of the ’80s action flicks it mimics, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has the potential to alienate people with its crass sense of humor and repetitive one-liners. But if you long for an era when smart-mouthed badasses were more concerned with making things go boom than catering to your social sensitivities, Rex Power Colt is your man, and Blood Dragon is your game.\u201d<\/p>\n
IGN<\/a>: 8\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cThis comical, explosive shooter takes everything that makes Far Cry 3’s gunplay great and dresses it in the kind of wit and over-the-top fun that Duke Nukem Forever is so desperately missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nJoystiq<\/a>: 9\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cParody’s a thorny thing, tricky to execute and often limited in appeal. It’s to Ubisoft Montreal’s credit that Blood Dragon broadens the appeal of its source, thanks to a hilarious, accessible dollop of nostalgia, coated in the mechanics that made Far Cry 3 great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eurogamer<\/a>: 9\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cBlood Dragon condenses all the best bits of Far Cry 3, sprinkles them with cheesy nonsense and blazes its way through to a finale that will leave you grinning like a loon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gamespot<\/a>: 8.5\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cYou don’t have to love the decade of Rubik’s Cubes and Pac-Man Fever to get a kick out of Blood Dragon. But if you do, then all the better: this action-packed shooter will strike all the right synth-pop power chords.\u201d<\/p>\n
GamesRadar<\/a>: 4\/5<\/h3>\n\u201cMinor criticisms aside, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon does a fantastic job of servicing the demand for retro nostalgia, but inside the comfortable setting of a very modern, very well-made shooter. It\u2019s the best of both worlds: it looks like a fun retro game, but plays like a properly modern one.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nEdge<\/a>: 7\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cThis isn\u2019t Far Cry 3 at its best mechanically, but it\u2019s definitely the game at its most charismatic. Because as a bunch of well-worn VHS tapes at Ubisoft Montreal undoubtedly prove, the \u201980s knew how to do personality.\u201d<\/p>\n
Videogamer<\/a>: 7\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cIt’s slightly disappointing, but I found myself returning to Blood Dragon after I’d finished it. The compulsive appeal of the parent game carries over, and it’s nice to play a sci-fi shooter that’s not trying to tell a so-called ‘epic’ story. Here you shoot people, a lot, and for most of its short running time that’s good fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
