Far Cry 2

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.

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" 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.

I don't think it's aged well. You'll spend much more time travelling from the mission-giver to the destination than actually performing the tasks required in the mission. Spend five minutes driving to a corner of the map, destroy an enemy cache with a single grenade in a maximum of two minutes, spend another five minutes or more returning for the next mission. Sprinkle in the endless enemy patrols, meandering road network and on-brand repetition from this Ubisoft game, and you end up with a title that felt fresh and even next-gen in 2008, but a very faded product now.

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.
