It’s impressive because corny dialogue is perhaps the hardest to write it would be easy to see some of the lines flop but the overall style and self-awareness keep it fun. It’s intended to be incredibly cheesy but it works great. The writing in Blood Dragon is quite a feat. You are Sergeant Rex “Power” Colt, a billion dollar Cyber Commando who has been dropped onto an island with just a few simple tasks: kill the bad guy, rescue the girl, save the world.
Like so many classic 1980’s movies, the story is quite simple. An old school Ubisoft logo with appropriately vintage music sets the tone right away: this is a game that is not going to take itself seriously. It is clear right from the first five seconds of Blood Dragon that you are in for something special. Laser weapons, cybernetic super soldiers and mutants are abundant in this dystopian hell hole. In it the world has been swallowed up in war and technology has advanced much further than it actually has in our world. However, since Blood Dragon is portrayed as if it was made in the ‘80s – albeit with current-gen graphics – that means the “future” the game is set in is actually 2007. It takes the combat and gameplay mechanics from last year’s hit, Far Cry 3, and transports them into a retro 1980’s era video game set in the future.
It’s quite a rare thing that Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon attempts to do.
