Hot Death, Tragic Loss, Perfect Immersion: This experience is nothing but primal rage. raw frustration, and the type of fun that elicits suggestive noises from your bedroom. Far Cry 2 starts off with a pleasant drive through the country side and a promise of beer. However, the happy little parasite in your body has other plans. No beer for you. 😢 Instead, you wake up to Nietzsche quotes, gun fire, and men screaming like children tantruming. With barely a regard given to your fragile virtual life, the game mentions which way is up and bids you to crawl between explosions, bullets, bodies and questionable decor. The rest of the game is futility, chaos and hatred, incarnate. You will feel the heat, the struggle is real, and even the most Bob Ross of us may have to drop a few F-bombs with this title. Betrayal, greed, and unfair odds are the order of the day here. Each corner turned is either an opportunity or a death trap. On higher difficulties, do not expect to win a fight fairly. Fight dirty, be smart and run away to die horribly another day. I've been playing this game for over a decade now across multiple platforms. I still keep coming back to it. If you enjoy that rising feeling that comes before a tense fight, if you love the rush of trading bullets in a burning field, and if it really gets you off to cause a chain reaction of explosions, carnage and pretty lights, this game is for you. If that is you, and you've never played this soul crushing nightmare, I have some advice for you: ALWAYS BE PREPARED AVOID FIRE REMEMBER TO TAKE YOUR MEDS Also, check out Far Cry 2 Redux. It's a mod that adds some nice changes to a multitude of things. The map, guns, difficulty, customizable gameplay, the works.
