  • @HarveyCrumpet1 I concur. This game being almost 4 years old, and it's still the most realistic experience i've had in a while. I also once knew a guy who had malaria who resided in north africa and lived in a cheap flat, and said that when he gets his symptoms, his body goes all stiff like extreme pins-and-needles.

    It's just good to see that there are still those with more than half a braincell these days.

  • Lets just hope for those who hate Far Cry 2 (im not one of them, more the opposite) that Far Cry 3 will be a better impression on them.

  • @ChaosDemon2 I'm with you buddy, I loved this game. Met a couple of real-life ex Mercs and diamond smugglers, from Equatorial Guinea, Rhodesia and Angola, about a year after playing this game. And boy some of the stories, fucking hell!!! Talked about Free-town and all. now I've got quite a few Sth African and White Rhodesian friends. This game, along with Blood Diamond, Tears of the Sun and Hotel Rawanda really made me sit up and take notice of Africa. No other video game has had that power.

  • WHY DONT THEY EVER CATCH THEIR BREATH WHILE THEY TALK?!?!

  • @SkyrimwillRule because they aren't people. they are ALIEN ROBOT PIRATES!

  • doesn't this game have good graphics for its time?

  • Omg ...i can See Subtitles?...but my game Dont have Subtitles?...how did he Do that?..i played Far cry 2 on pc

  • @TheXzebx You can activate subtitles from the game options

  • Di people still play online on the 360?

  • yeah i agree with a lot of the people on here. I just didn't get this game it has good reviews but it's just a really bad game. You have to drive ridiculously large distances to each mission . The map interface is really awkward making the drive even more annoying. Just didn't get it

  • This game is on sale for only $89.99 get it now on steam

  • does this have trophies?

  • @IronLantern yes

  • @IronLantern Yes

  • worst game I have ever played

  • it's good the thing I hate is the save system that fucks you over if you don't save often and too much driving and random attacks, otherwise I'm having fun with it. game tip: if you are getting chased go offroad the AI is terrible at driving so you can evade those assholes pretty easily.

  • Haha maybe not as good as Crysis.. It either is or it's not.

    People really need to read their script before saying things like that.

  • Get this now for 4.99€ from Steam.

  • looks like the next game will have better voice actors, that understand what a period is for. every dialogue in this is just one sentence. but the gameplay is pretty damn fun despite the driving.

  • aah, I hate it when they don't give the game points..

  • Have I ever told you... the meaning of... madness ?

  • @lucasbudega did I ever tell you about the definition of insanity :3

  • I have this for PC, and yeah it looks way better and smoother than consoles but still I get bored in the story mode. I just play the multiplayer mode which is better and tons of maps and mod maps XD

  • It's not the driving that makes people disappointed with this game, I think. I actually enjoy taking a cruise through the jungles and savannas in this game. It's when you get stopped by a checkpoint or a patrol technical that pisses people off. It happens way too frequently. I think checkpoints should be guarded only one time like the safehouses and the locations should only have enemies when it's part of your objective. The game would be better then, in my opinion.

  • what are some games like far cry 2 for the 360 help please

  • @bbbrazboy fallout new vagas it my not have any cars but its more fun

  • I played farcry 2 exclusively and then i picked up Fallout 3 and its a far better game.

  • i traded this in and all i can remember were enemies constantly attacking you no matter where you went. it got fucking annoying. instead of doing that, why not populate the map with more wildlife/ things to do and have unsafe/ safe zones or something?

  • idk wat it is about that guy's face but i wanna kick his ass!!!

  • ign vs gamespot who do you vote

  • @NeverShoutSamiee ign ftw!!

  • @NeverShoutSamiee Gamespot easy

  • nahh didn't like the game. getting ambushed by africans in jeeps every 5 minutes got annoying and the gun have SO much recoil when you start

  • Its better the IGN's reviews. Talk about shit. At least they give you a gamers perspective. Instead of IGN sucking balls of anything that resembles COD.

  • Do People still play the multiplayer?

  • @wasnice98 no, no one plays it anymore 

  • @wasnice98 4/of10 server if full on PC sometimes,

    Not more sadly =(

  • @wasnice98 oh yea there are plenty to get a game going!

  • The Only bad part of tis game is all the driving, but other then that it was great. The only thing I would add a kind of oblivion style of fast travel to safehouses

  • Why is everyone hating on this game? Its really not that much of a pain to drive around. I mean this game is great besides that. But if you can grow a pair and stop bitching about the travel, this game is amazing! I mean sure the outposts respawn enemies too quick but every game has major flaws. And besides, you play an open world game and you don't expect extensive travel? Your fault. This game was one of the most emmersive games i've played to date.

  • @TheRoyalBreton I hate it because 1. the AI is terrible 2. driving is a pain because I can only drive for a minute before 4 other cars are chasing me 3. the weapons do no damage wherever you shoot them and 5. the mulitplayer is complete shit nobody is on and when they its just garbage nothing kills the maps are always terrible and looks like they took 5 minutes on and also if this game is the most immersive for you you should try to get fallout 3 or skyrim by now

  • @TheRoyalBreton I personally liked the travel. And it has the only viable story that still takes place today.....Mercs, blood money and millions of African people suffering. It was a beautiful game and in my top 20 favs of all time.

  • this is on ps3 too right?

    and is it worth buying. I want a open world rpg/shooter game. And this and fallout both look pretty cool.

  • @TheM0nsterUnderUrBed fallout 3 is better. get that. but this is only like 10$ now

  • @TheM0nsterUnderUrBed buy fallout

  • hopefully they fix all the littel problems in the third because this game is pretty awesome

  • People are the biggest assholes nowadays. Just because someone made something you don't like, they should be "publicly shot"? Fuck you people.

    Game looks pretty fun to me. Can't wait to get it (and I can't wait for Far Cry 3 either).

  • @ditnopota Gameplay for far cry 3 looks amazing, Ill give you link if you havent seen it :P

  • @ItsDodgyDanny Nah, it's cool, man. I've seen it, and it looks fucking amazing. It's going to be one of the few games I buy this year.

  • @1Nickyduncan lol you just eat it.

  • a LONG time

  • @1Nickyduncan lol u mad bro?

  • Good game.. but it's got a lot of frustrating problems that I makes me stop playing it. Probably, 8- 8.5/10 but it could of been a 9 or higher if they worked on it more.

  • @1Nickyduncan Black ops. Fc2 isn't really that bad, and if you don't like it, you don't have to play it ;)

  • @1Nickyduncan WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and WWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! once more

  • @1Nickyduncan Not bad, really hard though. Feels like a 2008 game. I'm on a Zombie spree right now so I didn't play a lot. It's not a bad game, but not awesome either.

  • thumbs up if you hate lipton adverstiment

  • Fallout 3 stole this game sthunder, average game worth playing not remeberal though

  • Just got it for 7.50€ lol ;) hope it's good

  • @1Nickyduncan WAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Far Drive 2

  • No mention that road blocks and enemies respawn after you go 50 meters away from them? That the enemie always cach up to you even if you drive the fastest viechle in the game? That you can sit in a bush, at night, one click away from a guard post and one guy can see you and nail you with perfect accuracy with a Ak 47? And that all the other enemies home in on your exact location even tho there is no way in hell they are able to know where you are? Still a fun game tho.

  • @1Nickyduncan Why would it come with a pipe? And if call of duty were realistic you would just be sitting around in a military base all day. Hence, call of duty is a load of unrealistic dog shit.

  • @SuperMicklovin New Vegas!!!

  • It's pretty sweet, I like the rpg elements in it!

  • far cry 2 vs crysis 

  • wow the review forgot to mention one really annoying problem in the game,there is to much damn driving in the game, on top of that you always run into guard posts every five minutes and it makes that long ass drive to your destination even longer.

  • Best single player FPS I've ever played. They should stick with this formula, and not make it a linear experience.

  • I'm addicted to this game. The enemy AI is great, and the possibilities of staging and attack is amazing

  • This is a great game. Love open world games and especially the map editor and the online play with the custom maps. I had/am having ALOT of fun with this game. Amazing how there are still plenty of people online to play with.

  • This review is shit, he forgot to mention 80% of the game is driving

  • @Brianthehax0r Fuck no this game is atleast 85% driving

  • @Brianthehax0r 99,9%

  • @Brianthehax0r I forgot to mention that you were 80% retarded and that you don't know the meaning of the word 'Atmosphere'.

  • @PhilLovesThrash Haha its a videogame not a virtual safari.

  • @Brianthehax0r I know it's a videogame. The game is more 10% driving and 70% being attacked having having to leave your vehicle. You make it sound like it is just a first person driving sim.

  • @PhilLovesThrash Thats because it is. By the time you drive to your objective, it has taken 3 of the same guard posts you already cleared and 2 random fights with another random guy passing you in the other lane. This is probably one of the most overrated games ever.

  • @PhilLovesThrash I played it for 3 hours and that's exactly what I experienced. I was driving to an objective only to be attacked by guys whose sole purpose is to annoy and impede. Wouldn't mind if this wasn't happening every 5 minutes

  • This game does something that gets right on my nerves.

    As soon as you finish the campaign, thats it...No more gameplay. Fallout 3 did it aswell.

    Its like the developers think....Surely they don't want to get to 100% completion. Lets end it here...

    Luckily i always keep 2 savegames and save alternatively. So it was only a problem for my first playthrough.

  • while playen the game got about 75% done i got red ring of death. never got to finish the campaign:(

  • hey some one tell me the name of this backgroun song

  • F.3.E.R is awesome too, not too much though

  • Stop arguing over whether or not 360 or PS3 is the best console on the market.YouTube wasn't made for wars and stuff like that.Look back at 2005 and the first video ever uploaded.It was meant for family and sharing your experiences with others.Not starting flame-wars and creating another account just so you can write "Fake and Gay" on every single video you see.Aren't I right guys?People UNITE!AND PC WILL NEVER DIE!*evil laugh*-tranzlationz-PZ WILZ NEVA DI!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!1

  • again same moronic view all hail the pc version i got super specs for pc and this game still looks better on my 360/cousins ps3 than a pc

  • GO TO STEAM! ASSASSIN CREED 1, FARCRY 2 + DLC, CALL OF JUEREZ & RAINBOW SIX 2 ALL TOGETHER FOR $13 :)

  • Comment removed

  • this noob is playing on easy

  • @trofdugweed So?

  • @Yoshi9003 maet it was a joke maet (but he is a noob just saiyan)

  • @trofdugweed maet? saiyan? what? D:

  • Fallout wanna-be

  • @juniorblakeman lmao

  • @juniorblakeman

    Most stupid comment EVAR!!!

  • @juniorblakeman This came out before Fallout 3.

  • @juniorblakeman far from

  • @juniorblakeman are you retarded?

  • @MrThembones No, are YOU retarded?

  • playing with pc can be a real pain, game don't start and so on unless you equip your pc with expensive stuff, I stopped playing with the pc, I got my games on console right now and is much more easier, no bug, no viruses, in fact, no problems at all to start any games you wanna play... And you can play multiplayers games online with consoles as well, so what can I say? All is perfect with console, they can even replace it if it breaks...

  • at least on consoles you cant get viruses and you dont have to worry about lag from fucking pc

  • i got malaria after a checpoint and i did not have pils and i had to start all over

  • this game sucks. while it has some good things, most of it is really boring

  • Looks pretty good to me! I'll admit that PC have the most horsepower, has the best graphics, and very good controls for FPS games with the mouse. Although, I actually like to play on my ps3 more than my pc, and my pc is pretty high-end. It isn't very awesome, but it manages to play any game I've ever played with NO lag what so every etc.

  • i love blowing conveys up with the IED's

  • you should get rsv2... I didn't like far cry 2

  • Which game should I get: Rainbow Six Vegas or FarCry 2?

  • @bleachangel8 far cry if you go to K-mart if your in the US 15 dollars cheaper at gamestop

  • @bleachangel8 pretty much up to you? i hate it when people ask shit like this. read the reviews and decide yourself. we know nothing about what you like or dislike and the 2 games a very different. do you like having a squad to help you or do you preffer an open world? cover based combat or run and gun? what do you like more, medium rare stake or a chocolate cake? people here will give you their oppinions as a "this or that" answer. dont ask people to make up your mind for you.

  • @lamezorlord umm, thanks...?

  • @bleachangel8 sorry... i was in that type of mood when i wrote this. did you get it in the end?

  • @lamezorlord Okay, I did understand it.

  • @bleachangel8 haha - i ment did you get the game in the end :P not my point. dont think i worded it quite well enough tho, my bad...

  • @lamezorlord Ooohhhh, so the answer is no, in the end, I just got Rainbow Six Vegas, but I'm getting FarCry 2 later :D

  • @bleachangel8 haha. good compromise then :P I found vegas to be really fun, especially coop. heh. well - now that that breakdown of communication has been solved, enjoy your games :)

  • @bleachangel8 there is a weekend deal going on in steam - Ubisoft Pack for 12.99 - Assassin's Creed, Call Of Juarez, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 and Far Cry 2.

  • @supadupa555 not far cry far cry 2 dlc

  • @alluuuuu1 i bought the pack. It's Far Cry 2 with fortune pack DLC

  • 3 steps to a good life

    1. shut the fuck up bout which console is better

    2. ??????

    3. PROFIT

  • Sucky frame rate on the PS3.

    Damn.

  • Love this game

  • HAHA MY CONSOLE IS BETTER THAN YOURS HAHAHA PS3 SUCKS PC SUCKS AND GUESS WHAT XBOX SUCKS. Wondering what my gaming console is? a life

  • @kalashnikov96 Obvious troll is obvious.

    Also you forgot the Wii.

  • @earthigan Haha, That's not trollin. If I missed the non caps lock bit then yeah it would be :) and yes I did. Didn't come to my mind cause this is far cry

  • @kalashnikov96 No, your gaming consol is a computer, you know the one you're trolling with because the life you think you have is pathetic, worthless, and meaningless.

  • @WplusPproductions2 well so is every life, i game on computer and xbox 360. wbu? or do you just sit on a pedestal thinking your better than other people

  • @kalashnikov96 1. Not every life is worthless and meaningless. only yours and Justin Beiber's 2. I use a computer 3. you contradict yourself by now saying you game. 4. I never said I was better then anyone, you implied that

  • @WplusPproductions2 1. Your arrogance is shown in this comment which I need not explain

    3. I game, but I don't worry about other peoples gaming console or get mad online over it.

    4. No, you implied it. I simply pointed out your implication. Learn the meaning of a word before you use it. I stated that you think your better than other people.

  • @WplusPproductions2 ps. my comment was pretty fucking stupid. I can admit that. Who hasn't made a stupid comment on youtube ( i suppose you'll say you haven't ) but in your argument against you just made yourself look like as much of an idiot as myself.

  • @kalashnikov96 I have made my fair share of stupid comments and arguing with you is probly near the top. I never said I was better then everyone, I only said what I thought of you, not of myself or anyone elts (Justin Beiber doesn't count as a person). And you counted 1,3,4.

  • @WplusPproductions2 It was in reply to your ones. Not in order. Rather 1 was me replying to your 1. etc etc

  • @kalashnikov96 See now that makes more sence. However, in fear of slipping any further toward your level, I will no longer continue this pointless conversation which has cumulatively sapped a precious 5 minutes of my life.

  • @WplusPproductions2 Same let's end this. But at least my spelling is better than yours :) *Sense

  • solid online? the online fucking sucks XD the only fun part was all the custom maps made by the community

  • Fallout 3 > FarCry 2

  • @TheEzioAuditore fact > dumb ass opinions

  • @symbiote1982 Well,I gave my opinion. ;)

  • @TheEzioAuditore yeah,but farcry 2 is great too

  • @TheEzioAuditore holy shit, then this game really must suck

  • @hejjagedu > means Fallout 3 is better u dumbass x.x

  • @Roflteddybear Thats what he meant you retard

  • @TheEzioAuditore Why would you even compare those 2 games

  • @TheEzioAuditore You're fucking stupid.

    The games are completely fucking different, how could you ever compare them.

  • @TheEzioAuditore They aren't even in the same genre....

  • @TheEzioAuditore both amazing games though

  • @TheEzioAuditore Nahhhhhh. They are both incredible in their own way. And you are comparing an open world shooter to an open world RPG. Doesn't necessarily work like that.

  • @TheEzioAuditore Fallout 3 with Far cry 2 graphics = perfect game

  • @TheEzioAuditore I disagree

  • I heard this game is good at game

  • pricpersia405 Fu** O**

    SonOfATurban calm down ... we all know ps3 is better then pc hehe :)

  • pc sucks ps3 rulzz!!

  • @osis90 FUCK U !

  • @osis90 consoles are consoles if you want to be biased do it somewhere where people actually care i dont care if people think my console (xbox 360) is crap who gives a shit gaming is gaming nomatter what you do it on

  • @osis90 why does every one start these console war. you are just a fag.

  • SPOLIER! I fuvking hate gamestop

  • I bought far cry 2.. It was pretty dull and repetetive, but it was for sure medicore game.. 5,5/10 maybe.. The ending was really fucked since the game is over after the ending so you'll have to restart the whole game from scratch in order to play.

    I'm gonna buy FO: NV instead and sell Far cry 2.

  • @BlacksVideos Fallout New Vegas sucks balls you know that? and its really unrealistic

  • @ostepobss

    That's true, but most games out there are unrealistic. Battlefield, fallout, call of duty, gta... the most realisic game i've ever played is arma2.

  • @BlacksVideos really? havent played before

  • Good review saints row2 is basically a quick paced and in my opinion a more fun version of gta4 but far cry 2 is defiantly the better game here

  • @NzWavez man i was thinking of buying this or saints row 2 any ideas?

  • This is a long game i will give it that. It also has great background and great potential. i will give it that too. But it's way too repetitive and driving takes more time than killing

  • why is every1 comparing this with crysys?

    its totally different.....

  • @coldplayfannr1 it is made from the same exact engine i believe. and same developers.

  • @CReaper210 this is made on Dunia, Crysis on CryEngine and developed by Crytek, dunno who developed Far Cry 2

  • @coldplayfannr1 Crytek made Far Cry 2 they also made the previous Far Cry game

  • @ostepobss Crytek didnt make Far Cry 2, Ubisoft Montreal did

  • @TheFenerli10 yeah sry found out when i got the game yesterday

  • how long is the gameplay?
