    Far cry 2 is by many a legendary game to me an above average one.
    You play as a random dude with military background, that is all you know about him and that is all you will get to know about him. That would be okay if you could Role play, but you cannot because the story is very linear.
    Missions are repetitive and uninspired, go here kill this camp, go here kill this guy, go here destroy this and you know the rest.
    Very early in the game you get access to "Buddies" which in my opinion do absolutely nothing of value. You can be on a main mission, you get a call of your buddy.
    - Buddy: "Hey come here 200 km away from the missions i have something to tell you"
    - Me: "We are talking on the phone, you can tell me here"
    - Buddy: " Nah man" -call ended-
    Okay cool, I will drive to his safe house (there is no functional fast travel btw). Buddy lets me know there is more ways to complete this mission, okay cool, go here threat this guy, then go to this place. To my surprise this is the second time im doing this mission, first without buddy second with it. It was very different. The first time, no problem killed the guys and completed the missions in 20 minutes or so. With buddy drove around 40 minutes, went to way too many places, killed platoons of goons, died 4 times. What a mess.
    Driving is a big part of the game, its a somewhat enjoyable experience... If you were not assaulted every 5 minutes by goons. Oh and you cannot outrun them, you will need to get out of your vehicle and kill them. Imagine this several times on a very long travel, it gets very ridiculous.

    Combat is good, the gun play is solid and enjoyable.
    Guns are cool looking and feel nice.
    Fire and explosions are properly done.

    Story, ehh... Well it feels like there is none. Run around being attacked every 5 minutes by the same goons over and over again until you reach your mission point. Go here do that come back, avoid your buddy like a plague and stock up on explosives.

    Conclusion:
    This game is not a bad game by any means, the open world while pretty and somewhat interesting even in 2020 it feels void of any realism because you get attacked every 5 minutes. The driving feels nice but lets remind this is not a driving game. Combat and shooting mechanics are good and solid but are not enough to justify spending your time here.

    [Avoid IF] - You like story focused games, you enjoy peaceful exploration, you get bored easily with repetitive quests.

    [Get IF] - You are a dying fan of Far Cry, you just want a sandbox to shoot people.

    Final Score: 5 -AVERAGE
    You are not missing much with skipping this one, it's a lengthy game with much of it being very repetitive and frustrating, however it does have a very solid gun play even at 2020.    … Expand

    After the success of the first version of Far Cry, this version was very disappointing! Despite the graphics improvement, the game has become very boring and redundant. Nothing engaging story, making the game just about running and shooting.

    -- Granted it's not the most interesting story but most games today don't have really good stories either. The introduction phase is too long and unnecessary really but once you get past it you're wide open as to what you do in a pretty large world. The world needed to be colored a lot better as it comes off as too drab overall, like fallout 3 drab, and of course the story by good old jubisoft has it's typical bigoted tripe. I recommend LIRW's hook trainer for the foundations 1.3 version to cut out a LOT of the annoyances in this game such as the malaria bouts, breaking weapons, car degradation, annoying diamond hunting etc Stealth is only going to last once you get past the car combat ordeal and before you take out the bases so really this game is just a rambo combat game which is fine for me.
    ---It has boats as well as gliders in certain places and NO RADIO MASTS to climb etc Much less useless side stuff so a largely uncluttered map.
    ---There is no framelimiter even with vsync turned on and you get really weird movements etc Solution is to go do this in nvidia control panel for the game, limit framerate to your monitor and use that vsync. Otherwise obv most of us can ultramax this out by now. It's geared toward kbm so if you use a controller it's setup typical xbox controller but it does not have a list of what each button does so you will have to trial and error or just use the kbm to do certain things no big deal but they could have at least put in controller button prompts etc This game is like ten bucks on steam and well worth it for what you get compared to thousands of other modern games.    … Expand

Far Cry 1 was great, so I thought the second one would be the same. From what I've seen in the reviews, most people were happy with the game. So I wasn't and I'll try to tell you why. What the game probably lacks the most is the story. The number one had it and it was great, but unfortunately it is not much here and you wonder how not it is? The point is that cut-scenes are minimal here. Nothing that would draw you into a game with a real movie. Besides, your character doesn't even talk, which doesn't help the story much either. Furthermore, it will not please repetitive missions too much, which would not bother you anyway. Personally, I don't mind repetitive missions, but you will perform them here without just getting a film, as I mentioned. What bothered me most about the game were probably the mechanics that the developers added here. I understand that they tried to make the game more realistic, but I think it was rather harmful. For example, weapons that get stuck in the middle of a shootout or medicine for malaria, where our main character starts to get sick and you have to get the medicine that you get again with those repetitive missions. So that I still don't criticize the game, I praise the environment. Although I would immediately return to the island from number one, but Africa was not bad at all and especially the part in the desert was luxurious and it is a pity that there are no more such film and, say, more story parts in the game. I also liked the modification of weapons, where you can decently improve your arsenal compared to the previous part, and overall you have a greater choice of weapons. Unfortunately, that's about all I could praise in the game. As I mentioned in this review, the game does not have a bad rating at all, so I think you might like it. But for me, this is an average shooter that I would not recommend.… Expand

    FC2's emphasis is on its exquisitely detailed environment of an African savanna and its attempt at gritty realism.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Far cry 2 es un juego que no puedo recomendar, tiene detalles graciosos, una banda sonora decente y gráficamente no está mal para salir en 2008 y tener ya unos años, pero es bastante repetitivo, pesado y tiene mecánicas como el sigilo que no funcionan o la tontería de que los puestos se vuelvan a llenar de enemigos. El juego está bien si vas super rápido e interactúas más con tus colegas, la historia es un sin sentido y lo único que merece la pena es la hora final. En la que *SPOILER* colaboras con el chacal de repente sin ninguna explicación, siendo la persona a la que tienes que matar como objetivo principal desde que empiezas el juego. También tengo que mencionar que, sí que es cierto, que plantó una base muy buena para lo que vino después, ya que salto de un juego de niveles como era el Far Cry 1 a uno de mundo abierto con lo que más tarde llegaría Far cry 3 y los demás en consecuencia.… Expand

    It is worth saying that there are many innovations in the game compared to the 1st game. Many more positive innovations such as rusting and not working of the weapon, jamming, self-healing animations after being hit, hit feeling, weapon variety have been brought. If we talk about the cons of the game, it constantly repeats itself and does not give much space to cutscenes. Also, the Finale wasn't that satisfying.

    In terms of gameplay, Far Cry is still the same. Whether you play stealth or skirmish, the choice is yours.

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.
