I’m a child of the 1980′s but I would not call myself a fan of it. My musical touchstone into that era are action movies and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’s soundtrack. I see the fashion and style of that era through the lens of Scarface and American Psycho. My vision and interpretation of the 1980s is moulded by media which is fitting because that’s exactly how Ubisoft shaped Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’s sound and aesthetic.
The game starts on a high note with a wonderful 80′s inspired Ubisoft logo. Then Power Glove’s excellent soundtrack lays it on thick with Terminator inspired tracks and sounds from a bygone era. Neon lights were common place and a title card infused with pink and chrome certified this as an 80′s themed game.
Then it was Far Cry 3.
