 Far Cry 2 January 7, 2009
Why Is This Called Far Cry 2? AnyWay It's A really Good Shooter With A Huge Area To Explore.
 Fun but short, story is lacking January 7, 2009
The level of detail in this game is fantastic, but a little cartoony at times. I thoroughly enjoyed the different weapons, flamethrower owns. I played through and did most side missions and located 75% of the diamonds in about 30 to 40 hours. Took a little bit of extra time to locate a few gold AK-47's (which are not better than regular ones). Far Cry 2 would be worth playing a second time through if the weapons were upgradable or the enemies varied a little more, hopefully a SDK will come out soon.
Ok game play, but disappointing graphics January 6, 2009
The game play on this was ok.
It tries to be a RPG FPS, but fails in the role playing part.
As a first person shooter, the game was fine.
The quest game play tries to be open and tries to let you do what you want, but he quests eventually run out and the game becomes linear again (which doesn't take long).
It took me longer than normal to finish this game. If you do all the quests and look for all the Easter Eggs, the game becomes very extensive.
The biggest disappointment was the graphics.
They may have been trying to do a style of graphics, but it just didn't work out for me. It felt the graphics was from 2000'ish, and took a step backwards from Farcry 1.
I picked up the game for $18 on a Black Friday deal, and for $18 it was entertaining. I would not buy this game at full price.

 What a let down! January 6, 2009
Purchased this game when it was on sale for $20. There were tons of reviews all over the internet saying what a great game this is and how it lived up to the hype that it had built.
After playing this game, I have come to the conclusion that there is no point in playing the game! Once you start playing, you'll eventually have to shoot somebody. Once you shoot one person, the entire country has it out for you and you end up just killing EVERYBODY. That would be fun if that is what this game was designed for, but it's not...
The story line is very basic. There is a evil war lord that needs to be shot. Do it. ...Yeah, that's it. You feel like there is no reason to play the game. You never really get engaged.
Oh, and they give you malaria just to piss you off in middle of fire fights...
Horrible story line, average graphics (IMO) and frustrating amounts of 'back-and-forth'.
Btw: The daylight engine is fricken sweet! Doesn't make up for the game though...
Like Playing the Movie Blood Diamond January 6, 2009
To start, this is not a direct sequel to the original game. It has some similar mechanics, but beyond that, it is its own game.
You pick a mercenary and enter a world beyond the law, where EVERYONE who moves is fair game to be killed. Rarely does one have to practice target identification. To be short, it's a fun game with fun weapons, really cool fps animations, interesting characters and beautiful Africa as a setting.
Two bad things:
The game crashes after 30-45 min of play. I have 32 bit Vista and apparently this is a memory dump issue that may or may not be patched in the future. Until then, save often and make multiple saves, but be careful, this game also has a nasty habit of corrupting save games. This is frustrating, but hopefully patchable.
Some of the audio seems rushed and unnatural. Pretty annoying when the antagonist is speaking a million words a minute. Not very awesome...
Securom is a non-issue in my book, but to each his own.
Recommended, but admittedly, I got this game on Black Friday when it was $18.95, so buy it when the price drops and another patch comes out.
Cheers!
