Far Cry 2 and Fable II Impressions
By EightBitWarrior 6 Comments
As you perhaps might have noticed on my gamercard, I've played Far Cry 2 and Fable II. Well, I had some money left over after preordering Gears of War II, so I decided to utilize Blockbuster since it's only a dollar per day to rent games there. So, here you are, my impressions:
Far Cry 2 - As some of you might have known, I was looking forward to this one quite a bit not long ago, so I wanted to get my hands on this one. It's... well... it doesn't click with me or something, or I just don't like it. The controls are pretty terrible (fast look is on heavily and can't turn it off, when sprinting you can BARELY turn), and the voice acting is....wow. Did they even try? I mean it's not Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom bad (oh no, not even close), but it's like the voice actors were rushing through their lines and not really emoting or having any passion at all for their parts. Oh, and I didn't catch WHAT THE HELL was going on with the story. Way to make me not interested at all. You're just thrust into... shootin' dudes and doing objectives...for some dude. Meh. Overall, the only good thing I have to say about the game is the multiplayer map editor is pretty insanely good, but other than that, I'm going to have to pass on this one.
