FarCry 2 review

[flightlessagbsls]

i love this game!!!

[TheBobinatorXL]

and almost 3 year later it's still an awesome game!!!

[Yorsefener]

piece of shit game.

drive around a jungle maze for a litirallya whole hour just for a 5 minute mediocre fight with a a bunch of bad AI that can take a rediculious amount of damage before dropping

[TheCdeboy]

@Yorsefener I guess you play COD and find that real?

[Yorsefener]

@TheCdeboy it's not, and frankly i don't care, COD is intense and fun as hell and puts right in the action.

unlike in this game where you have to drive around for half an hour JUST TO GET A MISSION.

[TheGamepire]

this game is getting boring after 1 h playing

[lolitsmejoellol]

In soviet russia, you fight the jackal.

[hellfireGSX]

people either like it or hate it...

[B1ushMoe]

This game was FKN horrible, i can't believe i bought this pile of crap!

[Choppr777]

@B1ushMoe wow im sad that such a great game had to be bought by such a douchebag.

[B1ushMoe]

@Choppr777 well, i can't believe that some 12 yr old actually bothers to defend it!

[Choppr777]

@B1ushMoe if you were smart enough to click on my name you´d know my age

[B1ushMoe]

@Choppr777 Well i can only imagine a 12-16 year old defending this horrible game. The AI is bad, the guns handle crap, cover does nothing. I'm just not gonna bother to debate it with a idiot. How can you find a game fun that is just get into a car, drive to a location, shoot everyone and then spend another half hour driving back.

This is a example of how in the future we will all be playing captain bland's monotonous adventure!

[Choppr777]

@B1ushMoe the real star in the game may not be the gameplay, but the fantastic atmosphere, the graphics and the mapeditor. its just great to play in this beautiful setting

[B1ushMoe]

@Choppr777 my main focus will always be story and gameplay. Also most importantly... how much fun i am having. Maybe its the fact i'm a little old to fine new games fun, but never do i play a game for any other reason then fun.

[XcavemannX]

@B1ushMoe instead of complaining about a game that you hate, try not making an idiot of yourself by being one of the millions of idiots on youtube who thinks anyone cares about their opinion.

[B1ushMoe]

@XcavemannX u mad?

[mikeyinlalaland]

@B1ushMoe And you call other people immature 12-16 year olds. Get off your high horse and realize no one respects your opinion.

[anbuanger]

@B1ushMoe i have seen 25-40 year old people play this and have tons of fun

[yourass117]

I've heard that the AI is quite poor, is that true?

[littleAE86thatcould]

@yourass117 below normal difficulties, yes. sometimes.

 just play it on hard. LOL

[c4crookedrider]

Holy shit, did that G3 just exploded of the guy's hand? How'd that happen, roller delayed blow back don't go boom like that?!!! Seriously consider buying it now, never seen a game with such gripping action.

[shasha2727]

thats why you dont get them as an adult you get them when you are born it will have no affect but decreasing the chance of getting the virus or disease of which the vaccine is based of

[Fubargamer360]

top notch game! i love it soo much! one of my favorit things to do is slide into someone with a shotgun and blast them upwards. soooooo cool!

[dominater2156]

its a ok game but here are my problems no way to repair weapons and to much driving i have stopped playing this after like 2 missions

[narutofan9tf]

this game has fucked up glitches like not being able to advance at 73%!!!

[mjallan123]

I'm sorry but Far Cry 2 was fucking awful. I wanted it to be great, but I can't kid myself. In fact there is so many things wrong with the game, I don't know where to start. In all honestly, I'd rather cut my testicles off than play Far Cry 2.

[kesuga7]

have you played e.t based on 1980s movie.

[bongomajongo]

2:24, just like full metal jacket

[LiLAbdi97]

This game is alot like blood diamond

[Imthewbestintheworld]

@LiLAbdi97 he said "this is like a videogame blood diamond"

[GreenRifle08]

Look at my awsome Map I made on the XBOX 360.

It is just like the First Cease Fire Zone you start the game inside the hotel and you must escape the town.

Gamertag: ChunkyCows

Map Name: Cease Fire

Trust me you tell the difference of time put into it easily...

[Fubargamer360]

nice map!

you should check out mine...

gamertag: FubarAssassin

map name: Water Logged

took me 15 hours to make

[FC2king]

fallout 3 is THE best game in the world i have beaten both fallout 3 and fa cry 2 and fallout 3 is better but far cry 2 is still a good game

[johnTRAN93]

lol u beat the game. i only beat the game once and i have like 6 profiles on level 20 (dont have broken steel yet). its a great game.

[miffoman2]

this game would have been better in third person

[asdasdasshole]

i wonder how fallout 3 won game of the year for the 360 and pc for 2008. well at least fc 2 was a nominee

[loftboyyy]

The Bad

1) There is no feeling of accomplishment, you kill all the enemies at a base, they only end up responding after you left for a while.

2) Weapons felt good, its just that if they are old they seem to break. Sure fine this is very real, but its frustrating. Reality kind of sucks

The Good

1) OK basically the ENTIRE production value is AMAZING

I dont like playing a person with malaria and broken weapons. I dont think its fun. its 3:30 and I got nothing to do. I apologize

[Entertainer83]

i love this review. i hate how so many poeple underate this game such as game informer, xplay, and gt, i myself think it is spectacular and thought that it could win game of the year.

[hitlerskilla]

getin it tommowrow

[TheDoogleBoy]

I agree with the sluggish aiming. At the start I couldn't bear it but I got used to it quickly and now it doesn't bother me at all.

[BelfastBorn2]

apart from the malaria thing (it doesnt help in a firefight for it to emerge) and the fact that the guard posts reload every time u leave and the fact the buddies are s""t. apart from these it is a great game, think of it as a virtual safari where instead of shooting animals, u shoot people

[billyhammertime]

someone please reply on weather u think this game is worth getting

[astonmartinv12s]

yes its well worth the money the single player can take you around 30 hours and since its open world you can still go around doing side missions the multiplayer is suprisingly good and it has the best map editor there is

[littleAE86thatcould]

yup, just like like gta4 but with no taxis, helicopters, and big buildings.

plus. you could get this game for 30$(usa). you get alot for that money.

[lklklkkkl]

yeah. I think the game is awesome.

[kieran377]

Far Cry 2 is definetly the best and most underrated game of the year

[TheIWFChannel]

@kieran377 the game was horrible...graphics and stuff were okay but the story is sooo fucking borring! Multiplayer is absolutely fucked ....the level editor was the best thing in this game

[graffmade]

Great review ! game me more info than other reviews. I just orderd far cry and hope it's good. Oh and is this review on the pc or console?

[madnoob12]

this game is awesome multiplayer is so much f ing fun but missions are sometimes boring but there is so much detail o yea you have to drive too much

i would give it a 9

game of the year FC2!!

[Semphas87]

I hate this game.. Still do tbh. It feels like im playing a weird mix of crysis and GTA. Run, get a car, get ramed by someone while passing a outpost, kill everyone on sight, do the mission, get ramed AGAIN, and kill the same camp AGAIN, and get a new car AGAIN.

Oh and taking a sniper bullet to the chest doesnt kill a man.. Oh no..

Fail imo : /

[prolog66]

if u shoot a man in the chest it does kill him.

u just to shit to aim at his chest.

[AdminSilentAssassins]

overhyped in my opinion, online sucks

[MyHomie93]

i agree, i was so sad when 3 quarters of the time i spent playing the game driving around in  a jeep

[MetalHeadMassacre]

Yeah dude,im with ya,its really unbalanced most of the time & every1 camps & just uses the grenade launcher.

[kieran377]

Now thats what im talking about FINALY someone thinks its the game of the year because i think it is too its friken amazing

[HoodSta93]

got this game yesterday and it looks amazin but i think its just to hard, especially because there isnt any crosshairs and most of the time i cant see my enemy

[ChiaKaCheng]

why dont you toggle shadows off? i managed to complete the whole game's main missions in 14 hours

[MetalHeadMassacre]

go into options at the main menu and you can turn them on or off,when you 1st play the game its already off

[JayfuzOMarley]

my brother said this was a pain in the arse, he said u do missions but never get anywhere init

[goomy07]

I don't like the story in this game at all! I agree with what w1104717 and i just don't like how You have to drive all the time! But multiplayer is amazing and the map maker is great!

[GalacticGargleBlasta]

Downloaded FC2 from Steam 2 days ago. It's actually a really fun game. Only thing letting it down is the voice acting (which at times is *terrible*).

[jackalarrr]

fc2 is crap its not as big as they say

[dandaman06]

Its 50 sq km what else do you want?!!?

[jackalarrr]

thats the point ,its not, and its completely empty

[dandaman06]

But that is what Africa is like, completely empty, with a few places around.

[jackalarrr]

so next they'll make a game set in antartica, where there is nothing to do? is something is boring in real life dont make a game out of it.

[dandaman06]

There would be something to do they could add in a few buildings or igloos and animals etc. But I agree it would be boring, but I still think Far Cry is an exciting game the only problems I have with it is that the missions are so repetitive and can sometimes get a bit boring but apart from that I think it is a top notch game I would give it a healthy 8.5/10. What you think of the game is your own opinion and your entitled to it.

[atom2009]

Funny when a game finally has a large open map people complain about traveling. If you don't want to travel get a linear Call of duty game and you can funnel down a one way map with even more annoying friendly AI tagging along in you way.

[ILikesToSplooge]

Any Primates on this one?

[Joshsyndrome]

This review makes me feel like playing it again, the think I hate is repairing your car every 10 minutes, other than that it's alright.

[w1104717]

i just got it for 360, it's alright i fucking hate how every 100m you have to stop your car get out, shoot get back in and repeat , i mean why so many enemies from pts a to b?

[ImTylerDurden99]

an excellent review, and i can't stress that enough. im assuming you dont ever play multiplayer in any of your games however, but if you ever decide you feel like it, i would love to hear what you think of the multiplayer in this and fear 2. i agree, far cry 2 is my nomination for game of the year as well and i was highly surprised when it wasnt nominated by any main sites or mags. i did a video review of far cry 2 as well, but i honestly look up to some of your reviews. great job

[dotz2k8]

reparing your car , preforming mini surgery on yourself and malaria are some of the reasons why this is one of THE most REALISTIC games ever made 10/10

[benarn123]

YA, its SOOO realistic pulling out bullets and drug-abusing to get health, eat some pills to get over MALARIA and using your screwdriver on ONE FRICKIN NUT REPAIRS THE WHOLE CAR

[lklklkkkl]

haha xD yeah soooo realistic!

although malaria pills does work in real life xD

but not in one sec as in far cry 2 xD

[stevensheps]

wel i dont know about you but usually pulling a bullet out really saves your life drug abusing makes for no pain and i live in this 3de worl country and pills really gets you over malaria and the car thing is abit lame but if you want to waste 10 hours in a game to repair a car buy gearhead garage

[Foehammer0443]

Game looks sweet

[TheTrillz]

Online in this game is garbage.

[08CJ09]

he didnt talk about the map editor!

[confirm94]

The online is not all that too.

[LOLLIEGEEFMELOLLY]

benarn, you are annoying us.

[AlextheTitan]

Hahaha

[benarn123]

The AI in this game is the worst ive ever seen. Its amazing how well they failed on this part. The travelling is reaaaaaaallyyyyyyyy annoying since you have to ride in your shitty car for about 10 minutes from A to B, and while doing that, you encounter enemies every 100 metres. Plus, you will have to repair your car as soon as you hit a tree. These things makes the game annoying.

[BlueShadowIaido]

bus ride? Heard of one? Just me then. And repairing your car if it goes into a big tree sounds pretty realistic to me.

[bballkp27]

can someone please help me i just got farcry 2 and how do i find mission and breifing areas im really lost and im just driving around i probably missed something but can somone reply to this

[squatch00]

you probably found out by now... but, on your map, the little symbols of little flags are where your missions are. just walk into a building with that flag on it and the guard will want to search you and so on. i probably made that sound very confusing. lol

[dotz2k8]

u just look at your map for flashing exclaimation marks and dey are missions

[Terramax]

Funny, I didn't hear them mention DRM once on this... seeing that that would effect sales and this review sounds as if these guys were paid by the developers to dedicate 95% of the review to the positive attributes.

[antipopcorn]

i love the graphic..especially during dawn or sunset..look realistic..:D

[Matunismo]

This game is really boring. Like GTA but all the fun stuff taken out...

[lonewolf6849]

i have this game it is so awsome!!!!!

[nikhello111]

far cry 2 online is fun but not great because of the lack of game modes

[burntHotwire]

it's really fun but I think the single player and multiplayer are as fun and go as far as you want to take it

[Dreamslayer321]

Isn't Far Cry 2 online gameplay fun?

[Mahjzik]

*yawn*

[JoseBaiona]

why do people say this game sux???

i bought it for xmas and i haven't played it yet cuz it's a present

but wh do people say it sux?

i think it roxx cuz if it's repetitive u have diferent ways of doing your missions

and one thing, assassin's creed was repetitive as hell but it rocked anyways!

[LetMeGit5dollaZ]

yea assasins creed was dope

[MrBoBoTom]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R done all of this before and it's much better.

[Spudscooking]

Much agreed.

[hamsterseatsteak]

is this game worth getting? im getting 4 games and a 360 for xmas.i know i want gta4 gears of war 2 and fallout 3, and i also want a good fps.

[mistabump]

this game gets reallly repetative.. its like its trying to be grandtheft auto (drive there kill him... drive some where else kill him... drive some more kill some dude) but no way near as good... And no you CANT do stealth sneak attacks.. there are points when your sneaking up on the enemy and somehow all of a sudden they have all seen you hiding behind rock from a mile away... nonsense... this game is just graphically very nice.. but i got bored of this after a day of playing it.. yawn

[Nebcheese1]

get either call of duty 4 or call of duty world at war thier both good.

look them up and decide what one suits u best.

[hamsterseatsteak]

k thanks

[hamsterseatsteak]

waw looks funner for me cuz nazi zombies :) then agen i mite instead get left 4 ded looks like alotta fun

[yekrut22]

i have got this game and have only done one missions as i want to play it at night on my own so it is more intense, i found the controlls were a bit sluggish but is seems like a good game and the realism is awsome, guns jamming, stabalising your health and injecting yourself when injured, only thing that was disapointing was the sniping, not as realisting as CoD4:MW and CoD:WaW.

[KillersReflex]

FAR DRIVE 2 SUCKS. its way too repetitive, the cars suck, which is bad cause you use them for 80% of the game. Every normal person agrees that it sucks, every reviewer loves it. go figure.

[PeteJK94]

Have you every played it?

[PeteJK94]

ever*

[hrvat142367]

the game is good but i hate when people fire at you from no where

[dadangdota]

I got dizzy all the time, for it's unnecessary animations. Whenever you open a door, or your vision gets blurred whenever you ran out of breath from sprinting...

Can't you just have a full image of the map while driving?

Putting the same house model on some places? that is not good!

list go on and on and on...

[Soupmaster822]

what do you really care about what the house models are like? "game sucks because there are a few houses that look the same no i cant play QQ" isn't GAMEPLAY the most important part of the GAME

[dadangdota]

Well the idea is nice, once you get the hang of the game.

Like i said earlier, it need to tone down a bit on animations and give more to, where you adequately put: gameplay.

[DeadPixel00]

You fucking idiots, don't tell me that all these games that I've listed you felt like it was worth the £39.99 you paid for it. OK GTA IV is an exception because there is still some DLC to await for, and also Gears of War is my favorite franchise so Gears of War 2 was alright. But the rest...No comment.

[POOOON25252]

i would almost go as far as to say this game is better than gta4.This game immerses you in the surroundings!You probably shat your pants in the first 5mins and never played it again!

[Brenho]

The game is made brilliantly. Looks great, plays fairly well with a few nice touches.

Big letdown though is the fact that you spend most of the game travelling. FAR TOO MUCH TRAVELLING!!!!

[POOOON25252]

The travelling is a bit of a bitch but it also goes a long way to immerse you into the game

[DeadPixel00]

This is one of the biggest disappointments of the year. Along with: GTA IV, Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and many many more.

[nyboy101]

dEAD PIXEL

your a retardd

[pburgess1]

i have every single one of those games and none dissapoint so my guess is that your a boring office cubicle worker who plays those crappy website games that take 1 week to make all day long and dont know a real game if i slept with your mother

[DeadPixel00]

I am 15 years old, and I am more intelligent than you, shut the fuck up. Everyone has their own opinion you bitch, and you obviously have a retarded one. Now piss off and cook yourself a Burger, fat boy.

[koopagamer]

"Everyone has their own opinion you bitch"

that was a smart thing to say

"you obviously have a retarded one"

that wasn't smart, just idiotic.

"Now piss off and cook yourself a Burger, fat boy"

may I remind you that the UK has the 2nd largest amount of "fat boys" in the world.

the comment you made was not smart, just ignorant.

[DeadPixel00]

I wasn't implying on the fact that I was going to write an intelligent comment then, it was my michievious side kicking in.

Now you know what I hate the most, people who include themselves into conversations/arguments which has nothing to do with them. Now fuck off you little shit, and play Far Cry 2.

[koopagamer]

what is the point of posting a comment if it has no intelligent input. d'you know what I call that? spamming.

I included myself because I couldn't just let someone get away with a comment that ignorant and idiotic. But that's just me.

For the record, I haven't even got Far Cry 2. I was looking here because I'm getting it soon.

"Now fuck off you little shit"

that was uncalled for, since you were the one who sparked the "argument" with your comment.

[Fubargamer360]

dead pixel... the for games you claimed to be "the biggest dissapointments of the year", were four of the best selling and best reviewed games of the year. i think it's fair to say your against the majority here and you not going to win this petty argument over the internet

[Scottydoo69]

u r a retard.

[DeadMaiden]

Good game, game play was fantastic the only let down for me personally was the ending. But hey the game play was fun and exciting so i guess thats what matters xD

[huggy1234567891011]

nice

[turkeyman102]

Good online 2

[domzersaunders]

bit of a late review, i bought it ages ago.

[TheHillsHaveEyeBrows]

first woot

great review
