Far Cry 2 User Review
Now, it might be partially my own fault for not fully reading the previews. All I saw on Gamespot was: Far Cry 2, 24th Oct 2008. Without hesitation, I went out & bought the game on release day. What a mistake.
For a start, in no way should this have been given the name Far Cry 2. The only resemblance this bears to the original is: the jungle setting & the vehicles and that's it.
I could go on & on about the numerous glaring flaws with this game, but my main gripes are with the story not being continued from the original & the removal of the Feral abilities that made the original so unique.
As a result this game feels more like a generic FPS version of Just Cause, which also had a nice big lush landscape with very little to do in it.
I realise alot of critics & players are almost obsessed with big "open-world" games at the moment, but I don't think it really works as a console FPS.
I'll just be trading this in for Fallout 3 this week. I have a feeling that Fallout 3 will show Far Cry 2 how to do a big open worlded game properly.
I just hope that UbiSoft re-condider making a proper sequel to the original, instead of labelling fodder like this with the name "Far Cry" on the box.

Far Cry 2, Brilliant world, intelligent enemies, fantastic combat, but sometimes too difficult and can get annoying.

Great open world setting but for every thing this title does right, it has a flaw that almost completely over-shadows it

Ubisoft takes Far Cry to a totally new setting and gameplay, and with that they make an intense and interesting shooter.
