Far Cry 2

"Far Cry 2" evokes ambiguous emotions. On the one hand, this is a game in which many mechanics have become the basis for future installments of the series. A huge open world, dynamic missions, the ability to apply different approaches to combat, a huge number of weapons - all this was supposed to immerse you in the gameplay. However, in practice, the game is disappointing.

I tried to start the passage twice, and both times I quickly lost interest. You seem to understand that it was "Far Cry 2" that laid the foundations that developed so successfully in subsequent games that I love, but for some reason I don't want to play the second part. Perhaps it's the atmosphere itself or the boring pace: frequent transport breakdowns, constant enemy attacks and excessive attention to detail, like treatment, all this slows down the gameplay. The map of Africa, even if it is open, quickly gets bored with monotony. The map in your hands is wildly inconvenient for orientation The plot also leaves no special trace. The characters seem dry, the motivations are boring, and the missions quickly start repeating themselves. This is a game that, despite all attempts to immerse you in the atmosphere of survival and war, is more tiring than exciting. And the game is strikingly inferior in atmosphere to the original. If the future parts of the series were able to correct these mistakes, then "Far Cry 2" remains for me the project that can hardly be called successful.

4 out of 10.

This game gives me the real feeling of far cry. Away from home, nobody there to back you up. I don't care what people says but this is the best FPS experience of my life. Attached to reality and very indulging.Many didn't like the jamming animations and weapon explosions but it makes sense when you have to traverse through rivers, desert, savannah, etc etc. You may caught up with malaria and stuffs and weapons get rusty too over time. Those are pain in game-play but make sense guys. This game has flaws but no game is perfect. But this was close to undeniable world phenomenon. Big thumbs up for the director (Clint Hocking).

Real as in -

1. You have to drive all the way to the target point or if you don't want any enemy confrontation take bus to the nearest stop. 2. You cannot run insanely forever at same energy. 3. Liberated Outposts can be easily taken back by the enemy as there is no one to guard it. 4. You have the most wanted head in their territory. Why won't they pounce on your back the second they sees you.(They=everyone=enemy).

Far Cry 3 & 4 are just fun play. Nothing new as compared to any other FPS with just some funny character in it. Loved the way background score lined up with the situation. Trust me guys just give this gem one more shot. You will certainly find it different and awesome.

Far Cry 2 was okay.

I'm not a nerd, geek or fanboy of any console or game. When I play these games it's fun at the beginning, then thing get so repetitive and boring. These games are a waste of energy and time. It's not a horrible series. It's just overrated because you don't get anything back in return excpt for dust. That's what video gaming has become, 90 dollar games in exchange for dust. (Back then, 40-60 bucks).

Far Cry is like any game. It has guns. You shoot, you die, story mode, and it's unfulfilling.

Last Words: Sitting around playing games like these are not as fun as it once used to be. Its not bad it's just an okay game.

'Far Cry 2 (2008)' isn't supposed to be a traditionally 'fun' experience. In fact, it goes to great lengths to fight against the player, attempting to mimic its story's bleak and ultimately anti-war tone within its actual gameplay. This is an interesting prospect, to say the least. Your guns can jam and eventually break, your companions can die or even turn against you, your explosives can cause wildfires that wipe you out, and your character constantly requires medication for the malaria they contract right at the start of the plot. It all feels rather 'realistic', as it were. This hostility has a tendency to put players off, but those who stick with the experience will find a slow-burning, open-world thriller that essentially emulates Joseph Conrad's 'Heart Of Darkness'. It's actually rather remarkable how unlike most examples of the genre this is. There are only four spots that offer 'fast travel', there aren't an overabundance of side-quests, your map is a physical item you have to look at... the list goes on. It makes for a rather unique affair, one that sort of creeps up on you. The game's narrative sees your mercenary - one of several whom you can choose between - travel to Africa in order to eliminate the elusive Jackal, only to get caught up in a civil war and participate in the circulation of blood diamonds. It's an 'every man for himself' sort of story, with each mission offering the opportunity to 'switch sides'; no matter what you do, you're betraying somebody. This all comes together nicely for a near nihilistic vibe, even though the ending itself feels rather scripted and forced. The piece is enjoyable, even if it's often frustrating and cumbersome by design, and it's bold in its decision to favour immersion, in terms of both aesthetic and theme, over ease of use. It might not please fans of the following 'Far Cry' games, but it's a great first-person shooter nevertheless. 8/10

An exhausting game to play that makes you play as a scumbag on this earth. Just being alive to pillage and eat the last bit of this African country,,,,, a very enjoyable and fun game.

I like the story and the character even if it kind feels like a first draft at some points. I mean don't know it. Just feels like some of the writing should have been through a bit more hands, but I still enjoy it. It feels like the bones of an amazing game but now it's just a really great game.

I enjoyed the way game tries to realism without being realistic. I enjoyed how you have to use the bus system as fast travel how the gun with jam. If you don't get the new ones, how would the damage affects if you have to use healing animations where your arm up broken hitting the stomach. It's just all around really immersive in the gameplay even if the enemies feels like they bullets sponges most of time.

I really love the game, but it feels like a game that only has the bones but it doesn't have the skin and muscle yet. I've truly think this could have been one of the most great games, but there's just not enough to do in it and the story feels like it has some good points, but it's not all the way there. Sadly far Cry 3 goes in a totally different tone with the gameplay. So it just feels more like an action game with hit points and experience which at least this game. Just feels like it tries to be realistic Africa.
