    Booooooooring...

    ...I was waiting for something way greater then this...I've played way better games than this.Some people say that Far Cry 2 is better than Crysis,but I just cannot agree with them.That's because the game is boring and very lame.On first place-the story is perhaps interesting,but the way it opens to you is very dumb.Everything in this game(except shooting)goes really slow.You have to drive a very uncomfortable vehicle every time you start a mission.You have to drive 5 minutes to the objective's place,shoot 5-10 minutes and then more 5 minutes to go back,to the person that gave you the mission...and that's it,the whole game is only this.The action is,but,very cool,actually.There a lot of weapons in the game,some of them are very stupid,but still is better than nothing.The problem is that they jam really quick and that stops the action in the most awful way.The effects are very smooth,too.The flames are very cool...the graphics are not the best ever,but still they do their job really well.So that's from me for now...

This is how you start your journey of FarCry 2 in the middle of Africa. You get the gist of the current political situations by the taxi driver who picks you up after landing in ...

      Crytek, the developer of the first game in the series, went on from that to make Crysis, while the rights to the series stayed with publisher Ubisoft, who gave the sequel to one of their internal teams. Thanks to this, Far Cry 2 doesn't have a lot in common with the original besides shooting people in a jungle environment. I only played a bit of the first game, but basically you were a guy named Jack shooting his way through a linear story, albeit with some freedom in how you went about doing th...
