I have both farcry 2 and 3. Gave up on 2 after I had to get malaria pills all the time. tried 3 again and it felt so redundant. If I can get passed the damn pills things, is farcry 2 the better game?

No. Far Cry 2 has pretty much one advantage: The super minimalist HUD. And I believe that with the patches, FC3 lets you fix the ridiculously intrusive HUD that it had at launch. If you think FC3 felt redundant, you'll literally go insane after like 2 hours of FC2. Just push a bit farther in 3. It's a great game.

@Tranula: Far Cry 3 is absolutely excellent. Do as they say and keep going, it gets better.

FC3 is an absolute blast. I love the feeling of the guns.

Me too. And the cover system. It's just so damn natural and fluid. The kind of mechanic that's so perfect I really do hope that it just gets adopted by everybody and becomes one of those default actions that you expect in any FPS, like right click for iron sights/aim, or spacebar for jump.

FC3 gets better alot better. If you found FC3 redundant then you will hate FC2. Boring and repetitive

You can also try FC3 blood dragon . Its more linear but its crazy over the top shooter with some great music and excellent gunplay ( everything about the craziest cliches of 80's really )

I don't remember FC2 that well but I wouldn't be surprised if the gun mechanics were better (aside from the stupid jamming). The guns in 3 feel so consoley with near perfect accuracy and no recoil.

@Tranula: You are going to like neither. Far Cry 3 is generally considered the better one when it is compared with Far Cry 2.

You made bad choices in selecting games.

FC2 is way better than FC3.
