This review could easily change with some decent patchwork but the game for me is very broken. First, an error message pops up that I must click through 6 times to finally get the game going. I made it 16% through the game only to have my save file corrupted by some unknown element and then I had to start over. On very high settings, my rig can run FC2 at about 30 to 40 FPS. When collision sounds and some explosion sounds occur, the game drops to 1 fps and starts to lock up. I ran the game on low settings with around 70 fps and the same thing happened. The game is almost unplayable and contains the worst bugs I've ever encountered, other than maybe the first Sacred. Oh, and all my drivers were up to date as well. Some friends suggested it was due to the fact that I run Windows XP 64bit but I have yet to have problems with other games.
The graphics are great, sound is incredible, gameplay fun, but the bugs ruined it for me. The cons such as repitive side missions or bullet magnet buddies can be overlooked but the bugs can't.
Good attempt at a great game and if they patch the bugs, it will be worth but until that time, I will be playing other games.
