well the 1st 3 days of playin this game were amazing sweet graphics cool gameplay fun fun. But now it just seems very repetative and not so fun Every mission/task seems the same. drive somewhere get attacked along the way fight off the attackers, get to mission kill a bunch more ppl/ or blow somethin up. repeat. I really have no desire to keep playin and am starting to think about trading it in towards gears2. anyone else find themselves in a simular place?

Yeah, it does get repetitive. It's very annoying having to drive 10 minutes for 2 minutes of action. And even if you get a high reputation, you still get enemies following you constantly. If I were you, I'd trade it in for Gears .

Yes, my feelings are the same. It looked very promising, because of the graphics and arsenal of realistic weapons and the open world, but the game is rough around the edges in many ways. I wish I hadn't have bought it. But, it could still be worth your money to keep it because of the map editor. That's pretty much what I play the game for now, it is really very good.

Who cares about the single player... How is the multiplayer with the user created maps?? Thats what matters.

The multiplayer is ok. The one thing it really has going for it is the user created maps, some of which are really really cool. BUT the MP gameplay itself is a little clunky, it doesn't feel as good as COD4 or Halo 3, so don't expect that. I'd say it's slightly above average, due only to the user created maps. I am working on a map right now that is effing awesome. The possibilities are literally endless.

Ya, I agree with the op. It got very repetitive and it took only my first hour of play to realize it. Somewhat ironic since its made by the same company that made Assassin's Creed - which was also very repetitive. Hmmmm....

First off, this game is absolutley gorgeous. But I can't get into the game at all, I really want to play it though, but COD WAW steals my game time. Maybe it's the whole mercinary scenario. I would have been much happier fighting mutants in derelict science labs like in the 1st Far Cry.

The game is awesome imo, it definatly gets better later on.

What more can you want? A god singleplayer, an amazing map editor and fun online.

Its definatly not GAME OF THE YEAR, but its still a solid 9/10 imo.

yeah...I was incredibly hyped up for this game... but a lot of the missions are the same like you said... driving becomes a chore... I have been playing this game for over 24 hours now, just trying to finish it... yeah, the story gets more interesting later on ( i mean really later) but then it goes back to the repetitive missions again... the game is beautiful, but evertime I walk in the lush forests, the more that I wish that it were a Jurassic Park themed game or Dino Crisis or something...lol. There are no threatening animals in this game... what kind of Africa is this. lol

It's great for a couple of hours, then the repetitiveness just takes the biscuit.

Sheesh, Ive been seeing this alot lately with this game. Well....I really had no problem with Assassins Creed or GTA 4, so I might still get it. Hopefully the price drops, I'll try a used version of the game.

I would agree thatit is very repetative. I really like Instincts. Too much driving and lame missions. I hear from different sources that it does get better. I am about 30% done. Without giving spoilers, what exactly gets better?

LOL. Yeah I think they were both made by Ubi Montreal. I find that getting around is a chore. Driving to objectives is quicker but more likely to get you attacked and walking/running just takes too long. I think adding more bus stops would've helped!!!

I bought and finished Gears 2 on hardcore and then went back to FC2. After I'm done I may finish Gears on Insane mode but I still have a ton of unopened games to play. (CoD5, Resistance 2, Fallout 3, Mirrors Edge...:/)

Anyways, I'd choose Gears 2 over FC2 if I could pick only one.

I was really looking forward to the release of far cry 2 and chose to buy it over fable 2 (which in the end i bought just a few days later!. As others have said the first few hours of it are brilliant, the graphics really hit you and the game just feels great. Also as you are travelling in the back of that jeep, i found myself wanting to jump out and begin exploring.

I did begin to explore and for a while it was great, however after a while i became annoyed at the time it would take to travel from one destination to the other, meeting group after group of annoying enemies who you just have to get out and defeat!!

The map editor is great, however at first (as not playing a far cry game before) there seemed just too much to chose from and too much space to play with. The multiplayer is good, but due to the lack of people of ranked matched, ranking up is not an option. Overall far cry 2 is worth a look, and i am sure i'll be coming back to it.

I dunno I like it. Not as much as I thought I would. I thought the MP with its map editor would be great but it's the SP that has me hooked on. It does get a bit repetitive but it's always fun. I'm not sure what I'll do with it once I get 100% cause the MP sucks imo.

I don't think Far Cry 2 is a bad game, but it's not fantastic either. I think we were all expecting so much from it before the release that it was bound to be a let down, one way or another. I like it for short bursts at a time. When I get tired of the gore of Dead Space or disillusioned by some of Fallout 3's more ridiculously stupid creatures (like the giant biped crab-things that come out of the water . . . how lame) then I switch to Far Cry 2 for a bit. It's fun for me to play it as an alternate like that, one quick mission at a time to get bloody corpses or silly creature designs out of my head for a while. But I can't play Far Cry for too long. The graphics are beautiful (during the day, whilst night time looks crap) but even the environments don't change that much and it seems like everything gets repetitive. I do think it's a good game and it is quite fun, but . . .

Gears of War 2 is WAY WAY better. Better story, better environments, and a lot more fun. No contest IMO ;)

Far Cry 2 sucks. Biggest mistake I ever made buying that game. You can already buy a used copy for just $35.

It was probably the biggest disappointment that I had this year. I was really looking forward to this game and hated it when I finally got it. All the driving around got old really fast.

Trading for an even more repetitive game, eh? The multi online is badass though.

This is becoming more widespread then before or maybe it's just more noticeable now. Look at a lot of the games that have been released over the past year, they all have really repetitive gameplay mechanics. Assassins Creed, Prince of Persia, Mercenaries 2, Saints Row 2 and to a lesser extent, Just Cause. They all have very repetitive gameplay in one form or another.
