Nice for the first 10 hours, isn't worth the 50 hours
The amazing videos of gameplay kept me waiting and imagining how Far Cry 2 could have been.
When it hit the shops i went as fast as i could to get a copy, finally installed the game, then got that drm crap ( got past it though )
And then there was a amazing intro, menu..
Selected new game, chose a character ( like a rpg game )
I chose for Marty ( young like Jack )
Then a LONG introduction, nice for once, but couldn't they have a option to skip it, like in the menu or something.
Finally after the introduction trip, our friend cought malaria and went unconsiousness
So.. you awake and meet some guy that will be your main objective in the game
He will smash you in the face and you'll wake up later because you hear gunshots
Then the REAL game begins, finally
You will need to try to escape from town, but it will not work because you will always get shot and get rescued by some dude that you'll need to work for in order to get diamonds, to buy guns and upgrades for your guns.
Well that's a nice feature in the game, but still, it lacks gameplay.
After a while doing missions and stuff for people, you will be bored out because you don't know what you will do next or aren't in the mood for a mission, so you'll randomly shoot trees and grass, animals, rocks and even the water, jump from waterfalls ( it's fun ), try to choke yourself in the water, try to burn yourself, try to shoot you in the foot ( you can't because you don't see your feet in-game ) and that kind of random stuff.
But that will only happen after 10 hours of gameplay ( or maybe 20, if you really like missions and diamonds for the guns and upgrades ).
Also, you can drive vehicles, fix vehicles, blow up vehicles to get your enemies attention ( it's awesome to experiment with the AI )
You can choose your own style to eliminate your enemies, do it like splinter cell or be a tough guy and do it on the Rambo way ( my way, hell yeah )
You can get friends to help you in combat, but if they die, they are REALLY dead and stay dead ( that's how the death is supposed to be )
Excuse me for my language but.. i fu***** hate Far Cry in RPG style and that's the truth, i love Afrika, animals and grass, but this is not the way Far Cry 2 should have been, it should have been like Far Cry, only more features and more freedom, that is how it should have been
In my opinion, check it out it's pretty cool for awhile but.. don't be too excited because you will be disappointed after some time
I rate this game as fair as it is.. 8.5
