Far Cryis a first-person shooter video game developed by Crytek and it released inMarch 23, 2004 and

far cry 2 released inOctober 21, 2008 made by Ubisoft

which one is better?

i am not talking about only the graphics of both games.

u should choice by story of the both games,weapons,characters,cars etc things.

and what is better in ur choice?

I hate the mutants in Far Cry and it's probably the only first-person shooter I've never finished. That said, Far Cry 2 is better.RK-Mara

I agree with him, also I think the gameplay is better in Far Cry 2.

far Cry 1 by a land slide, that game is actually more open ended then FC2 with its fored paths were you have no choicd but to clear the same camp you just did 2 minutes before.

Farcry 1 was an absolute stunner when it was released. Farcry 2 was a disappointment. Not so hard to choose here...

Farcry 1 was made for PC, Farcry 2 was made for consoles.

Far Cry 1 came out and shocked everyone with its awesomeness.

Far Cry 2 came out and a lot of people complained.

HAHA, so true, FC2 is one of the years biggest dissappointments, like playing an MMO when it becomes an endless grind.

i agree with u in this point.

when far cry released everyone shocked because far cry was awesome but now far cry 2 released but it is not as good as most other games of 2008.

far cry 2 is the best one

LOl, yeah, because the poster is the only good thing, Fc1 way better.

Just shows how much superior Crytek is to Ubisoft.

AI in Far Cry 1 was amazing, it seroiusly shocked me that they communicated with other and worked in squads etc.

ya for the poster only :D

Far Cry without the mutants is better than Far Cry 2. It's a hard decision once mutants enter the picture. Weapons in Far Cry actually do fatal damage, which is probably the deciding point (Good Gunplay vs. Broken Gunplay)Swiftstrike5

Far Cry 1 was probably one of the hardest games I've ever played, up there with Operation Flashpoint and Diablo.

I didn't care for the mutants or the boss parts of Far Cry 1 (like the cowboy in the helicopter, or that crazy part near the end where soldiers just pour into that closed in room with the black floor), but it was still way better than FC2.

The first 3/4's of the original Far Cry are epic. You can hide, snipe, flank, attack from vehicles, nearly anything you want. I could play it all day. FC2 I've been playing in 1/2 to 1 hour sittings before doing something else.

Far cry 2. It seemed more mature, less poor 80's action flick.

FC2 is not without flaws, I ended up plotting routes to go around guardposts early on, worked great, and ended up useng the busses quite often.

There are some fatal flaws in the game, namely the side missions that is the same thing over and over... little exitement there...

The main story of Far Cry 2 is more muddy, and apart from 1 point in the game which is out right cheesy, I really began to get sucked in. I prefer the gun combat in FC2 over FC1, I liked the weapons better, and apart form my guns magicly doing a lot more damage in aimed mode, diddnt bother me that much.

(seriously aim and most weapons drop after 3-5 shots, fire from the hip and expect to use the whole mag)

Im not sure why, but FC1 impressed me with the engine, and the gfx, but felt shallow and pointless. FC2 did not impress me with the engine, but did impress me with the fluid gameplay, and the guts to let you play an evil character.

All in all it just felt more like FC2 had a story to tell, they did not choose the best way to tell it, but it did make an impression on me.

Far Cry 2 is a mediocre sandbox game with only halfway decent combat and absolutely no other redeeming qualities.

Far Cry 1 is a linear FPS pretending to be a sandbox game, with semi-decent combat, but horrible balance and design flaws.

It's a tie. They both suck.

Yeah my review pretty much sums up why Far Cry 2 is one of the worst games I've ever played.

I've never played Far Cry 2. I have played Far Cry. Crytek's game came out of nowhere. No hype, nothing. That's why Far Cry was such a stunner when it first came out. I too have yet to finish Far Cry. I play at the Realistic setting and often get my butt kicked by the trigens. But, I have no intention of uninstalling it yet even though it's been superseded by Crysis.

42% Think Far Cry 2 im shocked! Its like the worst FPS game ever.

I'm shocked too :P

I absolutely loved FC. Huge maps, but still more linear than FC2, and there fit many play-styles.

FC2 is uninteresting, and the 50km map--I had seen the north and south ends of it in two hours. Play a few missions in FC2 and you've seen it all. I felt it was a sorry excuse for a game. It was more of an expansive tech demo with little to do.

The fast respawns and constant traveling became torture.

Farcry 2 is horrid...farcry was amazing. Its one of those games where you had to play it when it came out tho.

Far Cry 1 is one of those games I unfortunately missed out on. Maybe I'll borrow it sooner or later, or try to get it for cheap. Far Cry 2 was a game with huge potential, but all of its potential was undermined by some horrible programming and questionable design.

Far cry one is way better than Far Cry 2 IMO.

old thread is old.

Far cry was the best FPS imo after HL. Farcry 2 mehbadtaker

^this. Far Cry 1, no contest.

I have Win7 and I can play Far Cry 1 without any problems.

Definitely far cry 2. I loved the african setting in the game that i spend hours and hours exploring.

Far cry is the better game: I played it expecting little and it was amazing, but when I played far cry it was great, till I realised the entire game existed out of doing the same thing over and over and over. That wouldn't be so bad if only the game had the AI of far cry which was pretty advanced for it's time, instead I found far cry 2 to have some of the worst AI I've seen to date (can't understand some people praise it's AI)

Sure the trigent twist wasn't that great especially those big ones with rokcet launchers, but they didn't take away the tremendous fun I had fighting the mercs. As for the story both of them are poorly executed, far cry 2 because of the lack of focus on story and the horrible rushed way the lines are delivered. far cry because the plot just wasn't that good, it was atleast a bit funny though.

Last but not least far cry had diverse gameplay, and gave you some choice in how to approach missions. and you needed to be stealthy or you would die a lot. Far cry 2 however, the shooting wasn't bad and on hardcore it was challenging (though not always in the good way) but the repetition, I got half through to game, but when after the plot finally seemed to take of everything went back to the same kind of missions as before I gave up on the game and every time I try to play it I almost immediately wan't to stop again.

gah, i effing love farcry 2

Far Cry...one of the best games ever! It's also rather hard..even on the lowest setting. FarCry 2 was just ok...shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as FarCry.
