Far Cry® 2: Fortune's Edition

The desperate atmosphere, difficulty (if you dare to set it to maximum) are what make this an experience to remember. AI react to your strategies like using the impressive fire physics, which open up out-maneuvering strategies rarely done well in the FPS genre since F.E.A.R. Health management is done well, regenerating from small hits but will lose permanent blocks from sustained damage. At the last health bar you need to prevent yourself from bleeding out, which in clutch situations can mean life or death. You may very well be risking a fatal shot while bleeding out just to take out the last hostile just so you can heal in peace. Each bleed-out-prevention animation is unique to the last damage type you received, making it very immersive. The main cons are the respawning roadblocks, malaria shots that disrupt proper gameplay and most of the quests being uninteresting or frustrating. Driving is hit/miss. It's easy to control but the environments can feel like a choir to travel after enough time. Has literally the best and most immersive map feature of any game I've played. It's rendered fully in-game, real-time and is used organically with 1st person perspective, changing your view to what's in front of you, the road, GPS and tracking device. You can feel like an off-road racer, knocking around your vehicle with a map, but then turn into James Bond at the first sight of trouble. This is the only Far Cry game I recommend without hesitation because although it's far from perfect, it delivers something unique and unforgettable for me... something that doesn't come easily for this exhausted genre.

Ah, Farcry 2. I have mixed feelings about this game, so I'll go into the good and bad: The good: Great graphics, dynamic fire effects. No monsters this time around. Has that old-school shooter feel. Upgradable weapons. Cool animations for your character. Big, open environment. Fun to kill AI, at least for awhile. Ability to travel via bus to cut down on looonngg driving times. Cool mechanic where if you die, a buddy will come and rescue you. The bad: Repetitive missions - especially side missions. Bad voice acting. Enemies respawn every time you leave the immediate vicinity - very annoying after awhile! Virtually every single NPC in the nation wants to kill you. Malaria scripting very annoying, but can be avoided for long stretches. It can be a chore to drive from point A to point B. Vehicles aren't as fun to drive as they should have been. Also, considering the subject matter, the game isn't edgy enough. Summary: Far Cry 2 can be good if you are looking to scratch that shooter itch. It has that old school shooter feel, and doesn't feel like a COD clone. For whatever reason though, and it is hard to pin down, the game isn't nearly as fun as it should be. Graphics 8/10, gameplay 6/10, overall about 7/10 (rounded up to four stars on rating bar). This is the Fortune Edition, which I think includes some DLC that I did not have when I played it. A few new vehicles and maybe a new weapon or two. Being open world, the game does offer some good play length if you try to do everything. The average player will probably get at least 8-10 hours out of the game before it gets too boring to complete. Some tips for those who decide to buy: Do as many side missions as you can to unlock better weaponry earlier. It is a huge help. Also, for those who hate the malaria mechanic, it only occurs when you complete story missions. So if you enjoy side missions, diamond hunting, and just exploring, you actually won't be affected by malaria much.

Really good game but not in spanish and it's the Fortune's Edition.

I actually liked this game, it hade atmosphere and for its time it was one of the better looking games. But in the end its gets extremely repetitive, cant even remember if I finished it. Its a 4, but because its broken in Windows 10 it gets 3 stars.

Best Far Cry game in the series so far. just not for everyone. Takes time to feel it and get the hand of it. Now I feel sad that Ubisoft probably will never make another game like that. The only thing that can annoy you over time are extremely fast re-spawns of guard posts. But even that adds to the feels.
