Wasted potential

This game could have been great. Really and truly some awesome ideas in here. Then everything fell apart. The allies system is actually interesting. The weapon jams? Love it, I ran out of ammo for my AK clone in a firefight, grabbed a shoddy shotgun off the ground, three rounds out and a shell stovepipes, requiring a wonderfully animated clearing process trigger with the reload key. Cool stuff we really don't see in games. Getting around is far more than a chore, to get from spot to spot you will have to travel through many checkpoints on the roads, at each of these checkpoints you will have a confrontation where the enemy will chase you down. You cannot get out of your vehicle and simply walk around these checkpoints. The enemies at these checkpoints, like all enemies everywhere in the game respawn fast enough that in a drawn out firefight more will show up before you can leave. On top of that, you have the malaria gameplay mechanic, making you guesstimate how long you have until you have to return to the major hub town for more medicine, and interrupts your travels and firefights for wavy vision and stumbling and puking. Could have been a more interesting element instead of a royal pain if it didn't happen so often.

Improves on predecessor but still flawed

It's definitely an improvement on Far Cry 1. I gave up on FC1 after only a few hours, whereas I'm at about 15 hours on FC2, which Galaxy tells me is twice the average playtime, which I find odd because I'm still only halfway through (having played it before way back when, I happen to know I'm right at the halfway point). I do plan to continue playing it. Whilst far less aggravating than its predecessor, it does still have its flaws. For one, stealth remains difficult to impossible. There's two weapons you can use to try to remain hidden, the machete and the silenced pistol. If you sneak up on an enemy with the machete, you can get a stealth kill, but this is not silent (somehow) and worse still, they sometimes still get a shot off at you mid-kill. If you don't manage to sneak up on them, it takes several slashes to kill them. The pistol, meanwhile, is also not silent, and can take multiple shots to kill, even at point blank and aimed at their head. And once again, the enemies will spot you very easily, even if you're sniping from amidst some flora atop a cliff a mile away from them, and once one enemy spots you, they all do, instantly. The sequel also retains the problem of crashing about every hour or so. One step backward the game has is its repetition. I feel like by only a few hours in I'd seen all there was to see. I know a lot of folk dislike its gun degradation system, but I like it. It makes it feel a lot more like you're actually fighting in the deepest, darkest depths of Africa, and created some really tense moments when my guns jammed at the worst possible moments, and I had to switch to my machete to hack them to bits or whatever. I do agree with the malaria complaints, but I didn't find it hugely problematic. However, all that said, it is still a fun + fairly priced game. Unlike its forerunner, I would actually recommend it, but I'd avoid bothering with stealth. Go gung ho, go guns blazing, and it's a fun romp through some beautiful environments.

M'eh.

The title is pretty much all I can say about this game. When I first started playing it, I was going off of "official" reviews from metacritic. It sounded awesome. So I loaded it up, and drove from place to place, killing people intent on killing me. Then I did it again. And again. And again. And it got old. REALLY old. And I've only been playing for about 4 hours total. With only 1-3 missions at a time, the much-vaunted "freedom" is as shallow as the gameplay. There's no freedom. Just because I can go a different direction to get to a point on a map doesn't mean that I have any freedom. It just means I can go a different direction on the map. Guess what -- I could do that in Super Mario Brothers, too. "Ooh, I jumped on TOP of the blocks this time instead of going underneath them. FREEDOM!!!" Add in the annoying spawning, traveling that's a chore to go through, and the repetative repetative repetative missions, and we have a horrible game. What we ended up with was a game that so desperately wanted to be like Fallout 3 that they forgot what made that title great -- the fun. Well, that and actually having something to DO when travelling from place to place.

Two massive flaws...

...you spend literally the entire game dying. Your character has malaria, and unless you do quests to get medicine you die. This forces you to stick to the main quests and pretty much kills the whole open world exploration thing. Stupid. Also enemies respawn almost constantly. You can clear out an outpost and then after spending 2 minutes scrounging for ammo GUYS RESPAWN ON YOU AND KILL YOU. This game had massive potential, but the devs couldn't leave it alone, so it's way too hard to be much fun.
