A beautiful sandbox shooter with a twist

Far Cry 2 might be the only firstperson-shooter out there that actually let you freeroam around an African landscape. Just the atmosphere of this game makes it worth playing, but on top of this it's also a very entertaining shooter. The game has been critizised for it's somewhat repetitive gameplay and lack of storyline, but I must admit this is only a subjective opinion. Yes the missions remind of eachother, but the landscape make up a lot of variation and ways to complete them. Also the storyline is pretty smart, just not at scripted and planned as in most other games, and this is merely a good thing! The ending is also unexpected and intriguing. A great game from beginning to end!

Started out fine...

... but quickly became a chore. The game is pretty, I love the lighting. Lighting the plains on fire and watching the wind take it is a wonderful sight. It's cool to see animals wandering around in the grasslands, there's item collection and side missions if you want to explore, and initially the firefights can get pretty intense. But then you develop a system and the challenge is gone. You get tired of driving forever to get to a far away objective, clearing out the same checkpoints time and time again. You stop bothering with Safe Houses as they serve no real purpose other than supplying a cot to change the time of day, since as PC we can save whenever we want. You stop caring about getting briefcases as there's no point in buying anything after you upgrade your favorite weapons (MP5SD and silenced pistol for me). The AI will chase you for quite a distance for no reason instead of guarding their outpost. Every single person will shoot at you, regardless of who you're working for, and the plot reasoning for your actions is dubious at times. If you're unlucky, there's game-halting bugs that were discovered a week after launch **4 years ago** that were never fixed, so I'll never be able to play the last 25% of the game. I started out liking this game, until it became a chore and I was looking forward to getting to the credits. Now I can shelve this and never pick it up again.

Contains DRM

Contains an inavsive DRM software called Punkbuster. The whole reason I purchase games on GOG is to avoid this practice. The store page advertises games as DRM free very clearly. This is shameful.

Won't start anymore, and has punkbuster

I've never liked Far Cry 2 as a shooter, because of it's atrocious hitboxes. I've first played this on the Xbox 360, and I couldn't stand it. I don't know how I've even managed to play through the first chapter. Bought it again here, and the problem remains the same. And apparently, either because I didn't noticed it before, or didn't think about it, but I have to agree to install Punkbuster. On a site where there aren't supposed to be DRM. And now I can't play anymore, even after agreeing to install it. Game is broken. I wouldn't risk buying this here.

Just short of great experience

I really liked the gunplay in this game, but the game itself falls short of being a great experience. Too many things not to my taste. They are: 1. Respawning enemies in checkpoints - easily the biggest headache in the game that gets in the way of enjoyment, particularly the driving cars/boats. You cannot relax, have to be constantly alert. 2. Malaria medicine - You need to follow through with repetitive missions to get malaria medicine, I found it very boring. Every 2-3 main mission, you have to go on an errand to get the medicine. 3. Side missions - Due to point 1, no motivation to go on an side mission. Too repetitive and fun dies out. Effectively, I skipped quite a few missions since it involves doing too many things already done. 4. Dead open world - The open world is completely dead. Only enemies, no friendly npcs (except rare underground missions). No variety in the open world, the second half of the game is in a different location compared to first, but it feels like the same in most areas. These are pretty big issues, they really spoilt something that was otherwise a gem.
