Far Cry 2 is somewhat like an RPG with great shooter mechanics. I only rented FC2 but in these few days I want to sell a kidney so I can buy this game. Campaign is your hired to kill a black market death dealer who supplies weapons and vehices to two groups in Africa bitterly fighting to the death and you'll be caught in between the action. PS3 owners it does have trophies and lots of them. The campaign lets you freely wander around the African savanna but mostly every where you go you'll either be fighting either African group. Whats nice is the buddy system which if you die your buddy appears at your side picks you up and brings you to cover and will help you fight off the baddies no matter where you are. Another nice thing about the buddy system is they'll tell you other ways that will help ease your journey in completing an assignment. For example you have to fight special mercs and your first buddy you free tells you that you can attack their informent and if successful you threaten him and he lies to the mercs and tells them to go to this city where you'll have an easier time ambushing them and completing your assignment. You can hijack enemy car or boats and if the cars damaged just pop the hood and repair it. The coolest thing about FC2 is that if severly injured press L2 and you'll pull out bullets, shrapnel out of your body either by pliers or a knife. If on fire press it and you'll pat out the flame, if hurt from a fall pop your leg back into place to heal yourself. Guns can jam so upgrade or get new ones. Whats nice is you can betray either side and join with the other or both and complete the game.(there are trophies for those) Online is fun and no lag. You can drive vehicles and to heal yourself pull out them bullets,etc. There are class designed weapons and as you level up you get diamonds the African currency which you can buy new weapons and secondary fire arms. Classes are Commando(assault rifle to minor heavy weapon), Guerilla(flamethrowers and shotguns),Saboteur( the 2nd sniping class that has better scopes),Assault/heavy(Machine guns to rocket launcher), and finally sharpshooter which has a lessened zoom scope for more closer combat battles. The modes vary from deathmatch to TDM, Uprising(haven't played)CTF where you'll try to capture enemy diamonds and one with the most win. Nice thing is if you start a fire in a grassy map the fire will spread a little and can or will kill the enemy. Graphics 9/10 Story 10/10 Gameplay 9.5/10 Total-27.5/30 A+
No one really knows what happened to Jack Carver, the macho oozing Hawaiian shirt wearing tit of a protagonist that graced our screens in the original Far Cry. A man who after having 400 mercenary's shoot at him and him ... Read Full Review
