Pros & Cons

  • or radar anymore, 50 km of exploration, beautiful graphics, oh wait, and interactive multiplayer
  • repetitive quests, but i just thought, massive open world, it is very inconsistent, for example

In a collapsing central African country, the player is sent to kill “the Jackal”, a mysterious character who has reignited a factional mercenaries’ conflict, jeopardizing thousands of lives.

    21 October 2008

    Overall, Far Cry 2 is a game in which you can quite literally get lost for hours at a time. But that feeling of exploration is precisely what makes the game so much fun; your creativity never feels stifled when approaching a mission, and the game's overall structure of side tasks, friends, rewards, and upgrades is a diverse ecosystem rivaling the landscape itself. No matter whether you're a PC fan whose played through the similarly structured Crysis or a console owner... Read more

    Polished and innovative and extremely challenging, Far Cry 2 tests the boundaries of the FPS genre. Gamers used to exciting setpieces may find it a bit dry. Read more

    Given the sustained popularity of the first-person shoot ‘em up over the last decade and the increasing move towards open world games, it was perhaps inevitable that hybrids of the two would become commonplace in their own right. Whilst Far Cry 2 at times borders on excellence in the technical stakes, its selective adherence to realism often proves unpalatable as a gaming experience, especially as it tends to place emphasis more on the humdrum than the exciting.

    Don't buy this game!!! You'll spend most of the game looking at your GPS and getting ridiculous phone calls from your mission comrade. This game doesn't come close to Killzone2 or Call of Duty. Big disappointment. Read more

    This game offers a tremendous amount of freedom within a huge map. There are loads of different approaches to tackling each mission. The single player campaign is loaded with stuff to do. I'm 15 hours in and doubt im near completion. Multiplayer is also loads of fun. It does get boring traveling from destination to destination as the map is so huge. There are times when you have no car and end up running to your destination and that gets stale very quick. Read more

    none graphics aren't as good as expected but that might have been forgiveable if not for the fact that gameplay is garbage. The worst thing is that it's completely unplayable almost with the jerky reaction the game has to the controller input. There is almost no control of this game. Buyer's remorse? YES. This is a PC game, and it was not ported to PS3 in a way that makes it playable. There's this huge whiny debate about keeping keyboard and mouse off of consoles and the... Read more
