A rare piece of art

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.

All Flash, No Substance

I know that it sounds pretty trite, but my title pretty much sums up Far Cry 2. The first Far Cry was a solid 4 outta 5, and had plenty of interesting of Sci-Fi bits in a kind of "future of weaponry" kind of way. It also had a fantastic level of difficulty and pace. Far Cry 2 lacks any interesting story elements and the pacing is generally less satisfying. I also felt that the barter system developed to acquire better weaponry felt forced and stilted. The only reason that Far Cry 2 gets those 3 stars from me is that the graphics are pretty phenomenal. The foliage in the jungle is especially amazing, as is the tall dry grasses. Unfortunately, it's not really worth more than a quick look around in the game. Throughout Far Cry 2, I never, ever felt drawn into it one bit. The only reason I played as long as I did was just to see through some of the environments, but once that ceases to be interesting, or you've just had enough, the game doesn't have anything left to offer. To make matters worse, the lame barter system contributes an almost arcade-game element to a game that should be an immersive first-person shooter.

Looks pretty, but not much substance

Great graphics, but the gameplay feels very dated and doesn't have much depth. It also feels quite boring having to drive from one location to the next. This is the second time I've purchased this game, the first was back in 2009 on the XBOX360. I had an average impression of the game back then, and despite running it on better hardware now (GTX780), the game still feels unengaging. Perhaps my standards are too high or I'm simply bored of old fashion FPS. By all means try it out, it's not a bad game, just not good enough to warrant much time.

One flaw

This game is perfect, an african country to explore, tons of vehicles and loads of missions. The shooting is really solid and just everything just sounds so powerful. But one thing is preventing me from liking this, and that reason is that some idiot decided that the enemies at outposts will respawn every time you look away, making this the most repetetive game in a long time. But at least now I have a fairly new game that I can legally put on my USB and install anywhere I want.

A plodding follow up to Far Cry.

The first Far Cry was an immense environment where you really felt you could go anywhere and anyplace anytime. Don't feel like fighting the enemy on the ship, go boating or driving around and look for trouble. The AI was intelligent and therefore gave you a run for the money. Who wants to hunt down diamonds and run around with jeeps and such trying to do odd jobs for the denizens of Africa. Why couldnt they just let you know what the problem is and take on the bad guys without having to stop and communicate with everybody there. Boring and exhausting it dosent measure up. Its a scavenger hunt with some fighting and all the camps and towns look the same. Shine it on.
