Its been a good month since I got Far Cry 2 and I've not been playing anything else since. When the game come out it got alot of negative feed back from people who didn't like certain aspects of the game, and I have to admit at first, I was one of them.
They're alot of things wrong with Far Cry 2 like the fact everybody in the game is trying to hunt you down. I don't know if Ubi-Soft meant it to be that way because they wanted to represent a War Zone in Africa (hence no civialians) or weather they wanted you to take your time, scout out all the guardposts or take another way into the wilderness around them. Other things about the game arn't too good either like the fact the story is some what not present at times, this is one thing Gamespot heavily critisied the game for. However I think the story plays out well in the end, I like how its, its own game, they're is no beginning or end to this story its all about this one war in Africa. That and the fact multiplayer online needs alot of improvements.
But the big apeal to me with this game and the one thing I think Ubi have done a good job with is the gameplay. I've never played a game that gives you so much freedom in how you go about each mission. I love sleeping until nightfall, driving to the location, turning off the jeeps headlights just before I get there, hiding my jeep out of sight in some trees, scopping out the area with my monoscope and excuting all guards I can see with the Dart Rifle, shooting and relocating so they never know exactly where I am and finishing the rest of with the silenced pistol or a knife in the back. The world in Far Cry 2 is truley amazing and the gameplay is a unique experience which is why I eurge people to play for more than half an hour if they want to get into this game.
