However the game spawns enemies in jeeps who come out of nowhere, are impossible to outrun and ALWAYS shoot your car to bits. Then you are left in the situation of being on foot and underfire.... then if you kill them and use their jeep to travel to your destination, everything is quiet for a few minutes then the game goes and respawns another group of enemies in jeeps who shoot your vehicle to bits. It's neverending and made the game unplayable!! I also felt that the whole malaria tablets thing was extremely annoying and detracted from the gameplay. I strongly agree with Jerry S's comments that it just feels extremely repetitive. This could have been one of the best games out there, but sadly falls well short.… Expand

    AFRICA!
    After having played both Far Cry 3 and 4 I have to say that this is my favorite of the three. I might be writing this through my nostalgia goggles, so bare with me. The beauty of Africa is just stunning. There is a lot of variety in the game's world. There is the deep jungle areas, large savannah's, wet swamps and dry desert areas. In Far Cry 3 it was just jungle, jungle, jungle    AFRICA!

In Far Cry 3 it was just jungle, jungle, jungle and green, green, green.

    The story and voice acting is decent and oh, the accents. The main villain is interesting enough. And there's nothing better than being victorious after slaying a handful of enemies. Because unlike the later Far Cry games, this game is actually challenging. You have a very limited health and ability to heal. And the battles really feel like battles. The tension is real when you have to hide behind your car when taking fire from all sides. And the music just fits the game and atmosphere perfectly.

    It is still my favorite FPS of all time because of its amazing atmosphere and its attention to detail in the environment. In my opinion this game has the highest degree of immersion ever. For example there is no minimap or other notifications on the screen, no arrows that indicate where the enemies are and no seeing through walls. Instead you have to navigate with a physical map and a compass. It just feels real.

    I would like to see more of these mechanics, but i doubt any of the modern gaming developers will do so. Rather they will make a mass suitably game for the mainstream.

    PROs:

    - highly immersive
    - attention to detail in the environment
    - very good graphics
    - big open world

    CONs:

    - mediocre storyline
    - respawning enemies
    - outpost and patrols keep shooting you every 2 minutes
    - stealth mechanic a little broken
    - repetetive side-quests    … Expand

    Far Cry 2 is a game for a particular kind of gamer. It is almost totally unlike the games that came after it. The world is a tragic and violent one, the controls aren't as snappy as other Far Cry games, and it is impossible to just mow down huge scores of enemies.

The game is all about portraying the grittiness of a completely broken and colonized country worn to the bone by war and terror. Though the story isn't strong, the game feels fantastic and the world is believable. I still remember how entrancing the world was when I first booted up FC2 and explored. The music is incredibly atmospheric and the environment feels authentic. In my humble opinion, Far Cry 2 is what Far Cry should be. Not a pleasant round of target practice featuring some cult run by a depraved leader, but a serious and challenging game.    … Expand

The stealth mechanic is broken as once an enemy catches a glance of you all enemies will immediately know the EXACT spot where you are and will continue to follow you around until either you or they are dead. The story is dull and virtually non-existant. The characters are all one-dimensional and the voice acting is atrocious; all characters talk extremely fast and sound emotionless.

Buddies, lending you helping hand when you need it most and requiring same service when they're in trouble themselves, behaves like real human beings and you really care about their fate. But it's Africa what steals the show completely. Map, with it dense jungles, shanty towns and open savannas, sets quality level so high that no other game can think of using same environment without being called Far Cry 2 clone.

Many people don't like it because of the repetitiveness, but they just don't have something called 'imagination'. There are hundreds of ways to approuch each mission, here are a couple of examples: - Normal shooting. - Ramming a jeep into the enemies while throwing molotovs through the windows. - Make a fire around their camp, then wait and let the wind blow the fire right into their base. - Snipe enemies and use silencer's to do a secret 'attack'. - Place a bomb onto your vehicle, park it into their base and explode it, causing their base to burst into flames, slaughtering enemies. And the long driving, it's fun for me. For the game I would give a 9, but for myself a 9.5, but with the map editor and multiplayer it defenitely deserves a boost to ten. Make some rally or other race tracks, invite your friends and have fun online! How about a fortress? With the game mode set to defend the camp? There is so much of opportunity in this game!

For me every minute of my 40 hours of Far Cry 2 felt like a chore. Let me just say, however, that I played Far Cry 3 and 4 before I played this one and thoroughly enjoyed them, I even played on hard difficulty for a bit of a challenge. Far Cry 2 I played on easy and found it significantly harder than the others. The script is rushed, the enemies are constantly chasing you down, and you can't outrun them. Stealth very rarely works, unless you only play at night and the enemies are spread out. The amount of times I spent stuck against a knee high rock or trapped between a rock and a tree branch desperately trying to jump or duck my way out ruined the game for me. After finally making it to the last chapter of the game and into the heart of darkness I encountered a glitch which stopped the mission activating and no matter what I did it would not activate. I had to reload a save losing 4 hours of play. Positives are impressive graphics for the time of release and an interesting "villain", even if the script is a little rushed. Overall I would not recommend this game to anyone, unless I hated them. Once I am done burning my copy and participating in some deep breathing exercises I may return to the Far Cry series for Far Cry Primal, but I'm just too emotional for that right now.… Expand

    The graphics and gameplay are still better than some games released in 2020, which is honestly very pathetic. It was way ahead of it's time. Great weapons selection, a bit limited but it compensates for having guns like the explosive arrow crossbow (Fortune's Edition), 8 golden AKs, and of course my all time favourite, the Desert Eagle. Funny, since it's also the only game that finally made the Desert Eagle look good, all other games from that era, except CoD4, made it look like absolute trash.    … Expand

    Whatever happens you'll believe it's a real world and a fantastic setting for the action. It's not as dense or as varied as, say, Oblivion - you'll go somewhere, kill everyone, every mission - but it's utterly convincing and engrossing. [Dec 2008, p.98]
