I recently spent several hours with Far Cry 2, hoping for a better experience than when I first got hold of the game several years ago. Although I was getting smooth framerates with the game on my old PC, this was only running on medium-low settings, so I guess I hoped that now, maxing the game with no issues on my new PC would change my opinion of the game. Of course, the environment is stunning, absolutely flawless, but that still didn't help me change my mind of the gameplay.

It's certainly a game that many people love and many people hate. I hate the fact that it's related to the original Far Cry, but at the same time I love the new African setting. There's plenty of interesting gameplay ideas, but I found most of them to be flawed. You can check out my new review at the bottom of the page (I would've inserted a link, but it's not letting me for whatever reason...).

Am I looking forward to Far Cry 3? Yes. But my hopes aren't high.
