This is one game that deserves to be slapped around. I'll be watching this when I get home tonight, even if it's more immature rambling.

You guys and Yahtzee saved me from playing this game, even though I liked the previous Far Cry games, excluding the Wii one.

Even if it is, Far Cry 2 cannot get too much of said slapping around. One of the biggest gaming letdowns yet. At the very least of this decade.

the most appalling thing about this game is they created one of the best best map creation tools ever to grace a console,and then promptly destroyed the use of user created maps, I literaly had more fun with the map editor than the actual game.

There is no way you were as hyped as I was. It was like my dream game. Free roaming, militias, the list of weapons was comprised almost entirely of some of my favorites....the stage looked to be set for a great sandbox FPS experience. And let's not forget that map editor. All of that hope made it all the more painful when I realized that I had spent $65 on a gigantic dud. It was akin to lighting an M-80, running twenty feet away, sticking your fingers in your ears...only to see a little sparkler poke out through the tip, fizzle for a bit, and then go out.

Oh wow, he nailed everything. The lame "it's a secret mission so our guys will be shooting at you too" excuse Ubisoft concocted at the last second, the weapon convoys that drive in farking circles, and the horrid plot. Huh, notice how two of my main complaints are things that could easily be solved by better AI, as Yahtzee pointed out. Maybe Ubisoft spent so much bloody time on their Dunea engine and making fire spread "realisticly (See; only destroying foliage) that they totally forgot that AI needs more programming time than, say, two hours.

I have a console, I rented it and I still think I paid too much for that experience. Just avoid the game at all costs, unless it's free and you want to use it as a doorstop.

I have seen the pc version selling for 15 dollars or so in India and Hong Kong, price is not the problem, the biggest problem the game looks so bad (with you doing the same stuff over and over again) I fear it's not worth wasting the time when there are so many good game I have yet to play (GTA IV, Dead Space etc)

They CAN'T, the files are compressed using a dumbass method that allows extracting them, but you can't put them back. It's impossible to modify.

Haha Zordon, sweet! Seriously though, he put it perfectly, the game is just soulless, and you never feel like you're accomplishing anything. Pile on all of the rendom encounters, and malaria, and you have one of the most disappointing games of 2008.

And you know what? I wasn't too keen on Far Cry 1 at first, it wasn't that much appealing to me to play it at the time and Far Cry 2 sounded like a dream game to me, and now I have to admit that actually first Far Cry was better game by a mile. How ironic.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is miles better than Far Cry 2 as a sandbox game in my opinion. I really don't know how the reviews could be so forgiving towards Far Cry 2. Even Boiling Point: Road to Hell, game from 2005 is infinitely better than Far Cry 2 as a sandbox game, although being slightly buggy.

I completely agree with him there.

I personally am trading in the game soon for killzone 2, I cant stand it... you drive around for 10 mins in what seems to be the same piece of land copied and pasted 1000 times to a short mission, the same as all the other missions youve done before, only to have to drive for another 10 mins to save the game, all while everyone alive wants you dead, meaning every 30 seconds you must stop and watch the same animation of your man fising the car.

how does ubisoft manage to make the ssame mistake again and again??? Assassins creed had mission problems but farcry 2 takes it to a whole new level...

Im not even going to try and complete it, its not fun, the online is horrible, downloading other peoples shoddy maps takes longer than the average game lasts, it sucks...
