1 player is so buggy it almost unplayable-- Multiplayer is also buggy- but also REALLY poorly created and serviced.

BUGGY BUGGY BUGGY- lock ups (on new system 4 gigs and no problems in other games), drops out, and bad pathing. The game has a weak storyline, rediculous dialog/quests, mindless AI, BUT it looks good when it is working. Several times I have locked up while trying to save the game- which is really painful and forces you to replay sequences over and over. The game engine is pretty but creates a kind of buzzy lag on my Nvidia 9800 GT 512 card. The attempts at realism with blured vision are annoying more than cool and hurt playability.

Multiplayer is just bad. Getting into a game is PAINFUL and slow- maybe even unconstitutional (cruel and unusal). IF you get a game you want you may get bugged out of it and dropped or QUITTERS may kill your game because they are losing. The experience/weapon earning system is week and really just penalizes casual players rewarding 12 year olds. Game lag in internet play creates frustraiting play with lag shielding and suprise deaths.

Far Cry 2 is a FAR CRY from the first game and just not that much fun.
