Farcry games arn't know for amazingly good. But Farcry 2, is just about the biggest improvement in a sequal I've ever seen. Ok, when you write a review for gamespot, you need to enter a classification for the game. I selected "Grows on you" for many reasons. Ok, This happens in the first minute or so of the game so don't accuse me of spoiling anything. So what happens is you get Malaria. Your probaly asking your self something like this: "What! Malaria? How the hell do you make a game where you have Malaria!" Well heres where the "Grows on you" come in. When I first started playing the game, I was very upset and dissipointed that I got Malaria, but later on in 3 hours or so, I was compleatly fine with Malaria. You start to not care and when tour Malaria strikes you know the drill. Just take a pill. The more you play the game, the less you care about Malaria, which can be applied to actually having Malaria. The setting also grows on you. You will want to explore every last bit of Africa. The weapons are cool also. From assault rifles, to a flare gun, Farcry got it all. Its missing no componants of a prefect game. The only thing keeping from getting a 10 is the physics engine is a little wierd, and gun fights are easy. I use the word "gun fights" because you will fight compounds of enemies and some will only have guns but others have cars. If there isnt a car your in luck the only real excuse for dying is you get run onver by a car. Its too easy to heal yourself. In conclusion, Farcry too is a good game. If your not into intensity or dont get this game. But if your a fan of the genre this is a must buy. You will like this if your a fan of Mercenaries 2 ( you get a good merc feel in Farcry ), GTA ( Farcry has a great freeroam ), and no HUD ( game really has no HUD so if your not into realistic games dont buy this ).
