StephaneOct 24, 2008Now I have tried the PC version as well at my friend's place and I like it as much as my 360 version. I was actually quite surprised that it ran so smooth with high quality settings. The game has its little flaws like it had them on xbox 360 but damn, so little flaws for so many good things, I simply wish there were more games like this one. Time to create a map for a multiplayer game.

AntonioMMar 17, 2010I have always loved Ubisoft games, such as Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell, but lately it has been seeming to me like video games have become less entertaining over the years. But than I downloaded Far Cry 2 and lets just say with more games like this everyone should still be amazed by video games. Unforgettable game. A must play.

RogerM.Nov 23, 2008Unequivocally the best game ever. They have captured the mood and lighting of Africa, and the realism and details and game play are excellent for thinking people. Will not appeal to the bunny hopping crowd. Nees a very good graphics card to really enjoy the experience of being in Africa.

DanielImreOct 21, 2008Amazing game. The story immerses you from the beginning and keeps you glued to the screen to the very last plot twist. The graphics are absolotely amazing, a definite landmark for gaming. The map editor is worth the 60$ alone. Altogether, this is the best FPS I have played in my life. A must buy whether you're into the genre or not.

steveoJun 27, 2009This game was absolutely incredible. That gay ass samuel has no idea what he's talking about. he's probably mad because he doesn't have the brain power to figure out missions. He obviously has a terrible view on games. I mean look he like FAR CRY 1. That game was horrible. Go to hell Samuel W.

MattMDec 25, 2009Awesome game. I lived in Africa for 18 years and spent a good deal of time in the bush......this allows me to roam through very well portrayed landscape. A short coming would be that there should have been the big 5... and adding danger to the roaming. Gunfights were great and I loved the story. Scenery was awesome.

Jul 16, 2020The best in the series. It's amazing how the physics of this game still are better than the newer Far Cry titles. Also, the setting and story are way better than in Far Cry 3 where the experience was ruined by a group of brats Jason had as friends.

May 21, 2012well... it maybe true its repetitive, but open world, and nice graphic is priceless. i like the way we roam the big world, doing things we want to try... and it is not really that boring, if you are the types of person who like it. But, i believe FarCry3 would be the best because it really have soul in its character (i saw the trailer and it was amazing).

Jun 26, 2012Really brilliant! Awesome! The gameplay and the AI are just perfect to the entertainment of the gamer. I liked so much, but I only think that sometimes the game is too difficult, and complex to novice players.

Edge MagazineCombat is thrilling – each weapon packing a solid, vicious blast; movement suggesting heft and momentum. [Dec 2008, p.80]

By adopting a laissez faire attitude to player discretion, Ubisoft has crafted a brilliant follow-up.

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.
