Far Cry 2

5 hours of fun This game is good for about five hours than you begin to repeat the same missions over and over again. Story line seems very segmented. Too many side missions. This game is nothing like the first one - no animal strengths. Graphics are better but I think the first one was a better game overall. Rating: 3 (D. Miller, 2010-03-07) Far Cry 2 customer review

Excellent graphics but gameplay becomes numbingly repetitive The graphics in this game are excellent as are the physics (don't want to fight a bunch of bad guys? Sneak upwind of them and light the grass on fire!) Unfortunately, most of the intermediate objectives are the same ones done over and over (destroy that convoy, rescue this hostage, etc.) Boredom comes quickly in this game. Rating: 3 (Michael S.

Suck-fest from the outset I'd just completed Crysis and Warhead, couldn't get the original FarCry, but figured that FarCry2 would be just as good, right? Wrong. Dead wrong. Quite apart from the movie scenes that you can't click through, the dreadful weaponry (the degrade feature is a nice touch, granted, but it's not suited to a shoot-em-up like this - maybe in something like Call of Duty it would better), the cloning of the opposition (in the guardposts? Oh please), and the oddball effects (if you firebomb a wooden hut with a briefcase in it, the hut burns to the ground but the briefcase remains unscathed. Wow.) the Load feature of this game frankly stunk. If you have a lot of saved games it takes forever to bring up the list - faster to kill yourself and then Load Last Save. I'm running a 3.2ghz dual-processor, nothing should be slow on it. But this game is. As far as empathy with characters goes, there isn't any. After the 5th mission or so the only reason to play it is to complete it, you couldn't give a damn about the player, the Jackal, or anything else. There's some nice features in this game but it's not worth playing for these. If you liked FarCry go and buy Crysis - it will blow you away. In a more enlightened age, Ubisoft's butchering of Crytek's franchise would have been grounds for hanging, drawing, and quartering Ubisoft's executives and display their heads on spikes at the city gates as a warning to others.

Great game play, but poor morality Pluses: -Realistic weapons (overall). -Weapon & equipment upgrades. -Huge maps. -Nice visuals: fire, weather (rain, wind, fog), day/night cycles, and explosions. -Replay value (some random mission assignments & use different tactics) -Overall stable game. -Sniper rifle can shoot through multiple targets if you line them up. -Plant explosives and remotely detonate them. -Complex, but easy learning curve. -Great tutorial at beginning of game. -Weapons will go bad with use -- replace them often. Minuses: -Low morality since many of the missions are about killing for stupid reasons -- like doing a mission to get your buddy some high-strength coffee. -The buses ruin the game play. You can travel all over the district without game loading messages, except if you use a bus. I don't use the buses for this reason. -Can get permanently stuck at places along the boundary edges (around mountains). -Graphic settings may need to be tweaked -- were fine for one of my machines, but had to be tweaked for another. -The accuracy rating does not account for incidental targets, for example, the rating will go up by directly shooting a target, but your accuracy rating will go down if you shoot an explosive barrow to take out 5 targets. -No hurt-able civilians -- for realism, there should be hurt-able civilians, and penalties if you hurt them. -Gun turrets have unlimited ammo -- I like realism, thus ammo limits.
