Great game to the add too my favourits love playing this game it is so good and fun to play great game would not say better the far cry 3 but this game is a classic and is in my top list tis game is so good all ubisoft games are great.

A 'love it or hate it' game. Despite a thin story and repetitive structure, FC2 excels in the dynamism of its gameplay. This is a game about the beauty of ugliness. The game is built with numerous features that work against the player and results in an experience where its highs come from the thrill of adapting to the challenges thrown your way: be it a malfunctioning weapon, aggressive enemies that work together to surround you or other limitations such as inventory and weapon loadout. The game could do with extra polish and a couple of tweaks, but this is a real diamond in the rough for players who enjoy games that aren't all about making things clean and easy for the player.

i haven't played the campaign on this game but the map editor is absolutely beautiful

Far Cry 2 is possibly one of the most addicting games out there - even halfway through the story when things start to become a little repetitive, you'll still find yourself blasting through the content. The scope of the African world in Far Cry 2 is huge - from the dry sweeping plains to the murky swamps and forests, Far Cry 2 encourages you to explore at your own leisure and pick your own path through the wild. A wonderfully detailed world, it's just unfortunate the inhabitants didn't receive as much love. While the story itself has an interesting premise, it never really picks up and fulfills its promise (with a horribly sudden and anti-climactic ending). The buddy system is never taken advantage of, and feels ultimately like a half-baked idea. The upside however is that gameplay is fun, despite being tedious at times. As previously stated, the world is HUGE, and your only "portals" are at the few bus stops located on each map. Every other time you're either walking or driving (from cars, buggys, jeeps, boats and more) the distance; though that's not an entirely bad thing as the world is gorgeous and you'll most likely stumble across an enemy camp to wipe out. Weapon choice is vast, and the weapon deteriorating adds dramatic effect, especially when you're ammo clip gets stuck during combat. I'm pretty indifferent to the malaria usage. The enemy AI is very smart and always brings a fun challenge to each mission; however I'm disappointed that EVERY person shoots at you, despite there being two factions out there. Even if you work exclusively for one, the henchmen out in the wild will still shoot you on sight. But overall, absorbing game and worth the purchase. Can't wait for FC3!

The story is good and the graphics are not too bad for this day in age (2012). Guns are cool and there are quite a few to choose from. However be aware, the AI can be exceptionally annoying and difficult at times, they flank and usually take between 7-10 AR bullets to go down (unless you are a headshot king). 3.5/5 Stars APACHE117X
