Far Cry 2

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.

I loved this game. I thought it captured the atmosphere of a dirty bush war very well. You go in all guns blazing and its all fun and games, but as the story goes on, it becomes darker, dubious moral choices, hurting the little people. And all this is enhanced by the Jackal Tapes. Whoever wrote those is a genius, they set the mood very well. You're no hero, you're just another exploiter.

Mayfield in The Mandalorian has a variation on it "Yeah, Empire, new Republic. It's all the same to these people. Invaders on their land is all we are." And if you follow those Jackal Tapes you KNOW you're just another invader.

The Zulu and Afrikaans spoke by the mercenaries is a great detail too, helped the atmosphere.

"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.

If you play all your games in 3D like I do then you will love this game. Rarely has an experience immersed me so deeply in the atmosphere that I have actually wanted to go out and buy a ticket to visit Africa. The story keeps you involved and you play in real time, meaning that you will be playing during nightime hours and daylight hours although you can sleep at anytime at a safe house until your preferred time of day. IE: I would sleep until dawn then play until it started to get dark and find a safehouse etc etc. Any seasoned FPS player must play this game. Your weapon can become damaged during a firefight, jam and leave you vulnerable so you must be prepared at all times. You will hear African drums and wildlife are in abundance. Very enjoyable and replayable. Well made and even wildfires if you please! Worth every cent so as Molly Meldrum would say, "Do yourself a favour and buy this game!

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.
