Best way to describe this game is TOTAL LETDOWN Nothing like what it was hyped up to Cant see how it got s
So lets start from there:
Dunia Engine: IS HORRIBLE i dont know what all the reviewers are talking about this game being beautiful, its graphics are worse than Soldier of Fortune and other games.
Give it credit for its huge world yes, its immersion "OK"
But its far from beautiful the textures are horrible. Guns look like toys they dont feel or look anything like a real gun should. When they "AGE" all that happens is that they grow brown and start jamming a bit.
The driving and fixing cars is bearable though repetitive.
Now about the AI:
From the billions of in game footage i saw before this game was supposed to have great AI. Anyone see the one where you shoot the guy in the leg and his buddy comes to help him?? Try doing it in the game, the guy wont fall down.
When a guy can take a whole clip to the chest and not die thats messed up. I would stand in front of the guy and he wont notice me. I once crashed a car into their checkpoint and they didnt see me till i blew their heads off.
Other thoughts:
Lack of a minimap really hurts this game, you cant tell where the guy is especially at night. The voice acting is horrible. Its impossibel to follow seeing how fast they talk, good thing there are subtitles.
I really expected this game to have alot of things, however, i found almost none of them.
Good things about the game:
The driving system is good not jumpy and the cars respond well. As a friend told me it seems to be GTA in Africa. Other than that i cant seem to think of anything that makes this game worth it. The story is horrible if non-existant and the buddy system has potential but very flawed. But that seems to be the theme of Far Cry 2 "Flawed with Potential"
P.S. I cant believe gamespot and ign and most other big game websites gave this game a high score. Or maybe the review copy is different than the one i have.
And the difficulty mentioned in reviews, non existant. This is one of the easiest games ive ever played after the first bit i havent died to date.
