Far cry 2 - preorder

Before I go ahead and break down, and preorder from ebgames/gamestop, I have a few questions about the game. Now I know that it hasn't been released yet, but I've been reading different messege boards, watching videos, and so forth and still am on the fence on this one. Does far cry 2 compare in any way to MGS4? Because I enjoyed that title a lot, I liked the adventure/shooter aspect. I want a fairly long game, will far cry 2 fit that criteria? Also, I enjoyed free-roaming games like oblivion, so far cry 2's should appeal to me also, right? I don't know what to do. The last game i preordered was nhl 09, and that doesn't really count; sports games are usually "safe bets" from year to year.

Who here has preordered far cry 2?

Will it be long? A lot of missions and sidequests

Replay value?

thanks for any feedback! :-)

Also-i like rpgs, but fallout 3 atmosphere doesn't appeal to me, being a post apocalyptic-world

We don't really know the answer to any of these questions. It's an open world shooter with a map creator and online play.Duckman5

-MGS4 is a standalone title that no other game release (short of another MG) can compare to.

-Farcry 2 looks to be quite expansive in it's scope and prospective game hours (in my eyes).

-If you like Oblivion for it's open world aspect then I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy Farcry!

-I've preordered and eagerly await the release day!!!

-Looks like a game with a substantial amount of replay value.

Yes it's going to be long with incredible replay value. I remember reading like over 50 hrs of gameplay in single player. There is going to be an online, but they have released much info about it. The map editor alone will add a billion more hours for you in this game.

Oh-And I absolutely adore the map editor's from the previous games and this new edition seems absolutely stellar by comparison!

Map editor of this caliber + online = WIN

I will answer your questions and go into details turn by turn :

1)Yes it will be fun like MGS4.Although they both are somewhat different from each other.But still it wont be any worse than MGS4.There are MANY ways to play it,which include stleath(mgs4),rambo style,tactics or strategy.Because you can approach your enemy from ANYWHERE.Example you have a checkpost with three men sitting,now if you ambush them through any vantage point they will take cover hide n fight back.But you can just go from the back and kill them silently.ITS ALL UPTO YOU !

2)I have preordered it already !

3)It will be VERY long.Your main mission is very small to hunt down the Jackle.But the way you reach him is Very long.You make your own story.There are alot of captains,warlords,drug dealers and buddies you have to deal with.There are two parties you have to destroy before reaching the jackle ! I mean it plays somewhat like oblivion.Like you have a huge fully accesible 50 square kms map and its COMPLETELY upto you what you do first and how you make your way to the Jackle ! Its completely upto you that in which jungle of that map you go first and which captain you meet first.The characters are ALL FULL real-time AI dynamic.That means they wont appear in any specific chapter or at any specific time.They just play like any other normal guy in the game.You can kill them and still go on...etc..etc..

4)Yes alot of replay value i mean you can play the story again and again,use different tactics each time and it still wont grow old on you.Apart from that it has the BEST map builder on consoles which you can share online ! So it has that value.
