Far Cry 3 Island Survival Guide trailer shows off breathtaking scenery and "exotic creatures"

It's a jungle out there.

A new trailer for psychedelic open-world first-person shooter Far Cry 3 shows off its lush tropical setting of the Rook Islands.

Narrated by ex-CIA agent Huntley, the trailer depicts scenic terrain that "houses a thousand years of secrets," "hundreds of exotic creatures" and a tiger on bison attack at 1:59 that puts Tokyo Jungle to shame.

Far Cry is due on 4th December on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
