    The game was pretty good to me. If they only wouldve added some more life to the towns, maybe some side activities, a story thats actually there and limit the respawns of the enemies. it wouldve been perfect.

    I didn't particularly like the game that much either.

    Good review, he seems a little nervous though.

    Did not like this game one bit. Totally overrated.

    I didn't like this one. You get shot and followed by the enemy every time you pass them away. It's pretty frustrating because sometimes a mission can take you somewhere very far away and when you past an enemy post, you either die or lose your car. So, you need to get another car from another enemy post, so you have to blast again a bunch of enemies and run, hoping that they don't follow you. And all of this you have to do to get to start one new mission. The same thing repeats when you play the mission, end a mission etc. You have to know that enemy doesn't die after five bullets in the head, so it takes long time to get all those enemies killed. It's just not fun to blast you're way every single time you want to do something. I can understand that some people find this a good game, I didn't, so stopped with this one pretty fast.

    I played this on PS3 and really enjoyed my time playing it. Yh it has some sillthing things like enemies attacking you every second, and walking into a village iwth your gun infront of your face. But this game really made combat and mission real fun like the reviewer said. It;s still to date the only fps i've seen that when you shoot an rpg into the air it comes back down within a few second. Also the fire in this game. Its visuallu outstanding and fun to do missions. Oh and its also one of the only games i've played where you can use IED's which is pretty kl.

    Great game indeed. Might have to play it again to be prepared for Farcry 3 which i hope won't let me down.

    When it comes to mindless, free roaming shooters, Far Cry 2 is fantastic. I enjoyed simply running around and shooting up Africa. That said, the story is trash, and I can't remember the name of one character in the game outside of the Jackal, and that's only because he name is on EVERY loading screen.

    No, I just hate every game that isn't fun to play at all

    I just picked up Far Cry 2: Fortunes Edition on Steam for $4.99. Totally worth the bargain!

    You must hate any game that isn't exactly like Call of Duty.

    you must be very easily pleased with any game you play.

    This is a horrible game. Enemies take 15 bullets to kill, driving is extremely clumsy, and most of all it could take 2-3 hours just to get to a mission. Skip this at all costs if you want a game that's actually enjoyable to play.

    "More diverse landscape than Crysis" - excuse me? The range of this game was all the way from orange sand to white sand. Dunno how this got a 9.

    I bought this when it first came out. I loved every minute I spent playing it. It's definitely one of my all time favourite shooters.

    @robyy22

    Grab it. I got it a while back and never played more than 20 mins 'till yesterday. The first minutes are boring, so I abandoned the game when I bought it.

    It was a mistake. After the 15-20 minutes of boring gameplay, the game start showing the true face, it's a very solid shooter with a feeling you could probably compare to games like Fallout 3. You have a lot of freedom, decent graphics and gameplay.

    Yes, it could be better. They never had the courage to take the leap (the settings they chose ask for a more visceral, depressive, realistic take, with civilians, troubling morale choices, etc), but if you can ignore it, the game is really rich and worth much more than the 5 bucks you can grab it for.
