    Gameplay can get very repetitive, but it's definitely not a bad game. You might just find it a bit boring. It makes more sense to play this instead of the new games in the Far Cry series.

    Удалил через час игры. Ужасная палитра графики, где ничего невозможно разглядеть. Геймплей унылый. Музыка унылая, физика стрельбы ужасная. В тому же игра сломалась на квесте и не смог играть дальше.

    Story isn't that great. A lot of driving around. Played only because of nostalgia.

    It is one of my favorite far cry 2 games. Without losing their fast pace, 2 men drive on you every 2 minutes, and they break your car, which you have meticulously repaired. They may come again while you fix it again.

    That was the issue that pissed me off the most. And there are snipers that it took me 5 minutes to see. The game does not have such a great story. I played with pleasure up to 54%, but the lack of fast travel feature spoiled my mood a bit. They made a fast travel in the style of a bus stop, giving importance to realism, but the number of stops is very few. And also; 10 minutes to go to the task, 2 minutes to do the task. I think the missions were a bit lacking. I'll add a final addition and close my comment. There are really a lot of bugs in the game. It's not as cool as the game, on the contrary, it's funny. After we give the passports to the man we went to buy medicine, the man starts jumping and flying in the air. He gives the medicine to my hand as I go left and right.
    There is no cutscene in the game, you have to do that scene. The character that gives the task does not start to speak before you move to the place where the codes put it. Dr. Gakumba starts shaking his head after giving me the mission.    … Expand

    It's a 9 for innovation, vision, music, and just the feel of it.

I was hit with a game-breaking bug after 70 hours. I can't say I wasn't warned, though, and I took the risk willingly. Still, I loved our time together, and maybe one day I'll try it again.

    A love it or hate it type of deal. But for those who love it, it's one of the best open-world Stalker-lite experiences you can have. Loved the setting and buddy system.

    Some of the settings of this game, such as, frequent jamming of the guns, screen blur when running, can be quite annoying while playing, which makes me upset. I’m just OCD to push myself beating the game.

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    O melhor jogo da série, antes da Ubisoft começar a só copiar e colar todos os jogos mudando apenas o lugar e um pouco os gráficos, com pelo menos alguma surpresa e desafio no modelo de jogo que é bem monótono e repetitivo nos jogos seguintes.

    Why don't people like this one? I think the dynamics of malaria are so cool where you have to keep using the drugs, that's very realistic! The game as a whole is realistic and also what has more Details among all FAR CRY'S. The only thing I don't like about this game is the dead and lifeless environment, without colors and it really gives the impression of lack of water.

    FC2's emphasis is on its exquisitely detailed environment of an African savanna and its attempt at gritty realism. In some regards it succeeds, with such features as rusty firearms jamming, the use of first aid to heal gruesome wounds, and destructible terrain.

    BOREDOM AND ROUTINE

    Absolutely boring and gray game in the truest sense of the word. Starting from the color-coder of the game in which you can only see something on your screen by leaning close to the monitor. A worthless plot in which you will just wander around the map and complete 32 main plot tasks in which nothing changes: "blow up that", "kill that", "find that" - EVERYTHING.

Not only is the game just boring to play, but bots always respawn at checkpoints (Who the hell likes to clear the same checkpoint over and over again?)
    Of the pluses, I can only note the mechanics of the game, which marked the beginning of the 3rd, 4th parts, etc.

    More importantly, it has nowhere near as many bugs as something like "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl," a title that bears many similarities. Add to the roughly 25 hour single-player campaign a remarkably easy-to-use map creation tool and a full multiplayer suite, and you've got one of the most complete overall gaming packages of the year, as well as one of the most ambitious.
