A great shooter, just needs a little more work.

User Rating: 8.5 | Far Cry 2 X360
I didn't go into this game expecting too much, but what I got was a suprsingly great game. It's nothing revolutionary by any means but it is a very well polished game but it isn't perfect. I haven't played enough multiplayer, so I can't review that portion of the game. This will mainly be focused on singleplayer.

GRAPHICS 10/10
-This game looks extraordinary. The textures are sharp, the environments are realistic, and the lighting perfectly suits the African safari setting. Personally, I think this games visuals makes gears of wars visuals look like trash.

SOUND 9/10
-The music knows when to play at the right time. Granted, it does use the same music a lot, but it still suits the African Setting. Also, the voice acting is terrific. The gun sound effects are very suited as well.

STORY 5/10
-While it isn't one of those cliched type of stories, it is very slow paced and doesn't really go anywhere for a lot of the game. Also, the ending is very disappointing. But the gameplay makes up for the drab story.

GAMEPLAY 7/10
-The gunfights are a lot of fun in this game. It also does a great job with the realism. Such as the guns jamming. I like how you have to actually pick up ammo instead of simply just walking over it. I like that a lot. The only problem is the how you are forced to drive all the time. I know that is point of open world exploration but they really seemed to be pushing it here. I usually don't like open world games but this game really nailed it for me. While there are better titles out there, this is still a very worthy game to pick up.
