Far Cry® 2: Fortune's Edition

Game frequently crashes

This game recreates Africa. The colors, the landscape and the vegetation, the weather and the ambient sound make you feel as if you are there. The dilapidated buildings, the litter and the constant sense of imminent doom evoke the feelings one really has, when travelling one of the failed states of the continent. The story deals with a problem that is even more serious today than when the game was made: how evil people with guns destroy civil society and make life in a country almost impossible. How fighting for power destroys everything worth fighting for. It is not a nice story, but only too realistic; the background could be taken from recent events in Sudan. You don't play a hero. You just try to get by with what you can do, until you realise that you are part of the problem and not of the solution. It is a grown up game. Don't play it to have fun. Play it for the atmosphere it creates. Play it for the catharsis that comes with tragedy. Play it to remember the real people who have to live in real countries like this. Play it for the unique political statement it makes. Definitely play it.

Far Cry 2 is one of those games you have fond memories of, but upon return you notice how nostalgia can color your memories. Its a good game, but can become tedious at times with its routine. A little too many patrol checkpoints and driving around to reach the goal for my tastes. However for $10 you should at least get 10 hours out of it. Of the simplest concerns the game does function. No problems for me on Windows 7 64 bit, though you can never know for sure until you test it on your own system. However it would appear, (this I did not know) that a Ubisoft online account is necessary for online play. Upon purchase a cd key was given for online access. In conclusion if you are a die-hard fan, or Far Cry 2 was amongst your favorite games of all time... pick it up. Otherwise its probably smart to wait for Far Cry 3.

Far cry 2 had such promiceIt had done away with the monister things from far cry 1 and was in the beautiful african bush. yet all is not well with this game.the eroblmes are detailed below. 1) LOCATION: Although the change in location is good in theory the bush al looks the same you ofton get shot at from enemies you cant see and die before ou locate where the shots are commeing from. 2:THE GUNS It's not so much how the guns feel they actually feel pretty good. But ubisoft decided they would go for hyper relisim with how the guns work thus they ofton lock up meaning you have a gun which won't fire in the middle of a fire fight.not good. 3:MALERIA This was the feature that really annoyed me and why i stoped playing in the end you get infected by the desise at some point near the start of the game. It means you must have a store of tablets at all times in case you have an attack which happens frequentlythis is un nessery and spoils the game. are there any good points why yes. The fire effects are som of the best I've seen really realistic. At some point you can get allies these will turn up in a battle when it seems like you are going to die and will help you in some way be it dragging you to gover giveing you some health or ammo or something. Game play for all the problmes the game play is good if you can find enemies before they kill you and the missions are pretty varied with lost of side missions so should you get this game well sadely the answer is no the problems with this game make it just about meadiocre but this by no means reflects on far cry 1 or the up comeing 3. 1 i know is very good even with the monisters it looks a bit dated but is still fun and 3 looks very very good. It's a real shame that this game is how it is because the core is so good it's just the problmes that let it down.

This game is both awesome and boring as hell. I love how open world the game is, where unlike most FPS, I can attack from the back, sides, or whichever way I want to. But on the same hold, it got boring very fast for me, doing the same things over and over. I only got to the second part/map once. I didnt die much at all, I could very easily kill anyone following me or clearing out a camp. But knowing I would have to kill everything so many times over. It broke me. But it does add nice things to it, over number one, like the buddy system, help them out/do jobs for them, they help you out and your "hideout" is updraded.
