Unlike CRYSIS, FarCry 2 plays beautifully even on one of my older PCs (Nvidia 7800 GT, 2G RAM, 3.4 Intel)! I LOVE IT! I understand the need to cater to the top-of-the-line graphics cards and PC's, but no game producer should do that if they are going to forget about the aging PC's that are still out there. FarCry 2 covers it all! A simply stunning, beautifully created and designed game that runs on any PC newer than 4 years old.
Farcry 2 is MY KIND of game. An open ended, go where you want wonderland! No quantum physics involved, nothing weird as we had in "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl".
Just plain Africa in all it's glory. I'm not sure if the map is as large as it feels, but the designers have put in enough stuff to keep me busy exploring for quite some time to come. So there's no need for physics altering portals... I hate those anyway!
Just one small thing... I would have loved to see more wildlife. Sure there's the occasional zebra, wild birds and such. But, even though it may not be like this in real life... A few more animals would have given the game the perfect brooch for me to have given it a 10 and not a 9.5
I'm not sure why this website gave it just an 8.5 though... Maybe they too were expecting to see a few giraffes?
