Far Cry 2 is a good game. The combat system is good, I like how you have a health bar instead of regenarating after getting shot twenty times. Healing was also pretty fun. If your health gets really low the screen becomes hazy and there are red flashes on the sides of the screen. Once this happens you press LB and a you will perform an action that is pretty cool, such as jerking your arm to make a bullet squirt out or cracking a limb back into place. The story, however, is quite basic and the game can get repetitive to some people after a while of playing. However if you know how to play this game it won't be boring for a long time.You can approach every situation differently. If you are trying to get through a guard post at night, you can simply go around quietly and they will never know you were there, or you can drive in and run over a few guards then jump out and kill all of them. You can also be stealthy and knife them in the back or snipe them from a distance.The graphics are pretty good and it is nice to see some forests in a shooter. The guns are quite fun to use, such as the flamethrower or sniper, and you can unlock many guns from local arms dealers. It is a great game, but you might want to rent it first.
This game is one of the best games i have ever played. its a free world + first person shooter. You can't get much better then that. No linear game play. Its all up to you. the healing system is the best i have ever seen... Read Full Review
