"Far Cry 2" mini-review
« on: January 01, 2015, 12:33:57 pm »


Far Cry 2 is a sequel to the original Far Cry. The game features an open-ended experience. Players are able to ally with one or multiple factions, and to progress through the game world and missions as they see fit, resulting in a nonlinear style of gameplay commonly referred to as sandbox mode that allows the story to progress at their speed and in the order they choose.

My input:

Haven't played the first game, I couldn't find it, but before playing this I expected it to be as CoD or some other linear shooter. However my opinion has changed about it. The game is a relief from all those damn mindless shooters, you can travel by cars, boats, AI is pretty intelligent, game features pretty neat stealth elements. Health does not regenerate, you have a limited supply of healthpacks, guns can jam, oh lawd this game is just awesome.
But some missions can be repetitive and boring, however the fact that you have to travel from one end of the map to another usually, makes everything more interesting. Ammo isn't always around, so you need to conserve and avoid gun fights whenever you can...

One of my all time favorites. I was an Xbox360 player and a huge batch of the farcry2 games were corrupted when copied to disk. After getting 66% through my saved games just vanished. Rather let me down because to this day I still have not completed it :(

Bump. syntax990 was right - I got to 73% and the game would crash when loading the saved game :/ so I can't continue playing it, which fucking sucks.
