Not as good as the first (which was a knock right out of the park) but still pretty good. I got it working on my W10 Home 21H1 laptop by opening the target folder and changing a setting on the shortcut launcher: - If you have Galaxy: Right-click launcher and select Manage Installation then Show Folder, then find and right-click on the "Launch Interstate '82" shortcut file, select "Properties", then click on the "Compatibility" tab, then click on the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" check box. Click on the "Apply" button and close. It should now be launchable from within GoG Galaxy. - If you use a desktop shortcut: Right-click on shortcut and select "Properties", then click on the "Compatibility" tab, then click on the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" check box. Click on the "Apply" button and close. It should now be launchable from the desktop shortcut.
I only played the demo for this back in the day, and wasn't impressed due to being targeted by every soldier on the island seemingly at once. It felt cheap and it really rattled my cage. Now, about twelve years later, I do like this game. I understand I was trying to play this game like DOOM or Hexen, running around the map like an idiot with no respect for line of sight of my enemies or the sound I was making trampling through the brush. After playing through Far Cry 2 this game makes so much more sense. Not to say it doesn't feel cheap at times, but I do know if I approach each battle with tactics in mind all will work out. Eventually. One thing to keep in mind is that certain reflections don't seem to work properly in any OS post-XP, such as the reflection of the mountains in the sea. I don't think most people will even notice this, but those that played it back in the day apparently will. I do have access to an old gamer laptop from 2007, so that is how I am playing. If I didn't I would play it on my current W10 laptop and would still have a ton of fun. I believe Far Cry to be worth a purchase. While a little rough around the edges, the game rewards those that take the time to learn how to play it properly.
Wonderful game. It features great retro graphics and platforming elements normally only found in classic Nintendo games. Fully customizable controls, excellent music, and hidden paths - what more do you want? Download it, clear your mind, and play. You won't look back.
