Review: Farcry 2

 Frycry2

FarCry 2, the only game that has on the box "Most realistic fire in any game" so being the gamer i am, i though id play it. Oh, my, god. the graphics in this game are close to CRISIS(future review) very, very nice looking game, smooth too, if your computer can handle it.

From what Ive seen, single player has a great story line, it tends to pull you in for little while, but about halfway through the game, its the same as Farcry1 - mission after mission after mission after mission etc. Their is however, very good physics in this game, the gun sounds, looks and fires like what id think to be a real weapon. Another thing that's cool about Farcry 2 would have to be the gun "jamming" yes it is very, very annoying, especially mid combat, but it adds more realism to the game, too often games like C.O.D and BFBC2 the guns seem to have that "game" effect, Farcry really shines in this respect with gun durability. another good thing about the physics engine in Farcry2 is the weapon shake of snipers, and i know C.O.D BFBG2 etc have it too, but i think Farcry2's recoil and shaking of the cross-hair is better.

Taking into account that Farcry2 was not meant for multiplayer, the multiplayer was still god-awful, the same happened to Crisis, their is no "re-playability" theirs simply kill people, no achievements or anything like that, its choose a weapon and spray and hope u kill something. this is what i hate about this game, their should be a new match type, like when capture the flag came to play for the first time, everyone loved it! - same with things like the assault match type, but you can tell Farcry2 was really meant for single player campaign

Overall i think this game needs a few tweaks, and i personally think it was trying to be too good for its era of technology, (it kills your video card and CPU) but all in all it is still a fun playable game, not one i recommend buying, torrenting however, go right ahead :)
