D+PAD Magazine Writes: There really isnt a single subtle thing to Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, which revels in its own stupidity to almost absurd levels. Taking the mick out of everything we remember from all that cheesy 80s culture, its bad to the level that its actually highly enjoyable, in the way that you might just get some kicks out of the awful Sunday afternoon movie when you had nothing else better to watch. Couple all these over-the-top shenanigans with the polished gameplay of the original Far Cry 3 and what you have is the recipe for a fist-pumping, nostalgic trip guaranteed to make kids of that era cheer with glee.

Impulse Gamer: "Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is easily one of the best parody games to date with its retro graphics linked to 21st century gaming. The graphics look spectacular on the Sapphire Radeon 7970 with its HD graphics and amazing attention to detail. Although the gameplay has been done before, it was still fun to experience a taste of the 80's and if you were not born then or experienced the 80's, your enjoyment factor of this title will definitely drop. The gameplay is sturdy and most gamers could easily finish this title in around 5 hours, including side quests."

Paul from Denkiphile: "With the popularity of Far Cry 3s retro-futuristic stand-alone expansion, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, its got us thinking about which other popular games wed like to see get the same treatment. Red Dead Redemption did it with its Undead Nightmare expansion, years before the recent trend with both Blood Dragon and Strike Suit Infinity. What follows are five games we think could potentially have interesting stand-alone additions."

"Ah, the 80s. Microwavable popcorn. Parachute pants. Mr. T. Saturday morning cartoons. Especially microwavable popcorn. Transformers. Metallica. Nintendo. Comics. Did I mention microwavable popcorn? But most importantly, action movies. Lots and lots of schlocky, ridiculous action movies (and a few genuinely good ones). Theyre exactly the kind of films that are the focus of parody and homage for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Ubisofts recent April Fools joke turned actual joke. Its easily the most ambitious and daring downloadable title to come along in a long while, but will it ultimately be bloody good fun, or is it just dragon its feet around? (Im so sorry.) Read on to find out." (Michael Urban, Kaboom Shark)

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a bit of magic. A large part of Blood Dragons throwback appeal is its soundtrack. The Power Glove-scored audio backdrop is as equally 80s as the neon lasers, robotic Speak n Spell cyborg voices, and nuclear fears expressed throughout the game. The album is an excellent collection of synth rhythms that highlight not only the trademark 80s sound, but the films from which Blood Dragon takes many cues.

We're not even completely halfway through the year but I'm just going to call it...I have to: Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon has to win best original score for 2013's VGAs. It might seem petty to want the game to win for its soundtrack from an awards show that we all groan and moan about, but come on, this game deserves it!
