REAL FAR CRY 2 REVIEW
I am tired of people not reviewing games properly...
Graphics - 9/10
Gameplay - 9/10
Story - 7/10
Replayability - 9/10
and so on...
TO start off, the good. There are an immense amount of guns in the game, around 30. People are complaining that it takes soo many bullets to kill one person HOWEVER this is not true. It only takes about 3-8 depending on where they are shot. THe guns found on the ground are INNACURATE because they are old and worn, thats why the gun shop is there. Those are more accurate and dont jam. Anyway the guns feel powerful and are easy to use despite these bashers rying to FIND reasons to hate a game. THe world looks beautiful and is fun just to drive around in and run over a zebra or 2. THe story is interesting when you get past the mediocre voice acting but then again what more can u do with a story in this setting? Mercinary sent to kill an arms dealer? What you want more mutants? Far Cry and Far Cry 2 are alike they both FEEL the same and are about surviving. THe fire is fun to use and can be used for strategic assaults or defence. Health system is fun and changes how you need to play at times. Buddy system is great and allows more choice during missions and more fun if you wish to stab them in the back. The Dunia engine is amazing (Real time weather and 24 hour clock). Either way it is a fun game and NOT repetative if you play it right. How do you do this? Well instead of going through the outposts go around, throw a molotove to kill everyone, set of an ammo dump...just kill everyone different ways.
The bad. Well THe voice acting could have been much better. The story was alright but needed better voice acting to really bring it out. The cars are really weak and like paper until upgraded. NO allies in the field even if you make an alliance with a faction. Not enough wildlife.
Final word. People NEED to stop comparing this to Crysis. They are in no way alike. It is not an RPG as many would like to believe and it is only repetative if you make it. But then again arent all games repetative? Call of Duty 4 - Shoot everyone end of story. Those who dont like the game do not play it right or were expecting something that it isnt. It is exactly what screenshots and videos were showing so what were you expecting? You got hyped from the videos and its all there. The game is fun. Sorry for the wall of text, I am just tired of innaccurate reviews.
TIPS!
Dont want a patrol from a camp chasing? GO AROUND!
Dont want repetition? Use different tactics such as stealth, sniping, be a pyromaniac or just dont play games? After all every game is repetative in its own way!
Map to big? Use the bus to et in general ares then drive. 5 minutes of driving WONT kill you, besides you dont need to stay on the road.
Cars breaking? Pay attention to where your drivingand you wont hit a tree, and the dark spots on the GPS are rocks =)
Innacurate/weak weapons? Dont use ones covered in mud! Get the unlimited unlockable supply of your favourite guns from the many gun vender locations!
Think the story ruins it? HINT - ITS CALLED A GAME NOT A MOVIE/NOVEL!
In the end the game is great, and it does shy from potential greatness, but in my opinion because of the dunia engine and all the tecnical advances and fun gameplay its GOTY in my books.
