I always loved single player games. Would you recommend this one ? If the answer's no then why ? Tell me about it.

Thanks.

Ive got it. It's not my favourite game by any standards but it is good Its definatley worth looking at. The maps are huge and varied and thegraphics are nice. Only fault worth mentioning is the respawning checkpoint enemies. I say if you like single player go for it.

The worst game I've played in about 2 years, no lean, no prone, cars break down every 5 minutes, your weapon jams every 5 minutes, diamonds are hidden on rooftops in a briefcase with GPS, malaria is a pain in the ass, roadsigns glow telling you where to go, the enemy needs 20 rounds in them to die, the AI is ridiculous (they are 10 yards away and they get in a jeep tp follow you), convoys go round in circles waiting for you to attack, the enemy respawns at checkpoints you just cleared out, the game says click here to save your game at any one of your safehouses (or you could just hit F5 anytime). It's a terrible console port. That's all for now.

Even though it looks great from the screenshots and concept, and got great reviews, I got tired of this game very quickly. For one, despite it's 'open world' nature, you are almost always stuck inside canyon-like paths anyway, which takes the fun out of it. That forces you to go through repetitive checkpoints, fighting the same guys over and over again every time you travel. I have no idea why they implememted it this way - it completely ruined it for me. However, I do know some people really liked it.

I would not recommend it...

It has so many bad design decicions that it baffels me it got released at all...

the game basicly has 5 missions, repeated ad nausia, most of the time you do not even have a choice to accept them or not.

It is one of those "if it moves, shoot it" kind of game, no friendlies, apart from the towns.

The respawns in the game is really quite lame, did some experimenting, if you kill an outpost, and moves 100m away, and go back, they have respawned.

70% of the game is driving (which is not done well)

you have to repair your car every 3-5 mins...

The worst thing about the game, is that I can see a really good game underneath all the bad decicions. It was just put together in such a horrible way...

I wouldn't recommend It either. It gets extremely repetitive and boring after awhile. I only played like 30 mins of It and got bored. The first Far Cry game Is way better..

It's a decent game, fun, but very slow-paced. I would recommend Crysis first, if you haven't got that.

I liked the immersive environments but dear god did those damn checkpoints piss me off. I would get attacked at every damn intersection and would even be chased down. Id deplete the ammo I needed for the mission before I even got there just defending myself against hormonal bandits...

Depends on how much you are paying for it. I didn't pay a lot for it. I think about $10...so, yeah, if you are getting for under $10, then go for it. It looks pretty and you can play until you get bored and forget it, and you will get your money's worth.

Well regardless of what everyone else says here, I played it, and had fun with it while it lasted. Yes, the checkpoints suck and are extremely frustrating - and even if you try to ignore them the guys stationed at the checkpoints will chase you anyways... however, I wouldn't say it was a bad game. If you can get a good deal on it, I'd say go for it. You'll likely play through it once but the single player lasts a while.

Multiplayer, though, is kind of mediocre, not really a memorable part of that game.

The whole idea is to do repettive missions in which you kill enemies inside a camp. Also there is alot of driving and 2 huge maps to explore. The combat requries to make choices on how you proceed and flank your enemies all the time because the ai will suround you! The compaign does not have a visible story and its not what you would call a game with impressive story or compaign experiance. Its basicly assasin creed turned into a fps!! If you like what you heard, get it. If you hope for a linear story focuses fps, then dont get it!!

Most fps have a bad story! "Yeah but not as bad as fc2" FC2 story is different, it has more depth, it requires thinking in order to understand what is going on and why the war is going on!!

FC2 isn't a good game. I agree with everybody's complaints of it being repetitive and boring. The graphics and setting are good. Some of the gameplay is done well, too. But, the constant repetition ruins the good parts of the game. The story concept is nice in that it is different from the normal WWII, aliens, or monsters setting of most FPS games. However, the story isn't told very well. Basically, the more I played this game the more I realized how good this game could have been if the developers hadn't screwed it up so bad.
