Far Cry 2

matiss's Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360) review

It burns...

It's sad. The potential that Far Cry 2 had was huge - a 50sqkm African open world, gunplay, great graphical design and gameplay. Too bad only some of that came true. Yeah, there is a 50sqkm open world, and there's great graphics - but where's all the fun? The game play is horrific. All you do, is complete missions which involve you driving from one place to another, killing a lot of dudes on the way, and repairing your car like 20 times within your journey. The bottom line is, it sucks. The multiplayer and the map editor are nice, so if you want OK multiplayer, and are a creative person - you might want to consider playing this just for the multiplayer. Otherwise, avoid this game. It's pretty, burning stuff is fun, but that's all.

Pros:

It looks nice.
There's fire, and it's fun to play with.
Map editor.

Cons:

Terrible, repetitive single player.
Clunky gunplay, sumtimes.
No fun.

6/10

  The original Far Cry on the PC was something special; it successfully combined an open world to roam with great shooting action. However, when Far Cry Instincts and its expansion, Predator, were released, Ubisoft did away with the open world elements, much to the games' detriment. Thankfully, Far Cry 2 does not follow that example. It features a huge chunk of African savanna to explore by running, gliding, swimming and driving. To compliment that overworld, a solid shooting engine is i...
