Review of Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360)

Far Cry 2. I bought this game for the Xbox 260 after having played the first installment of the game, Far Cry, on the PC and being very impressed. However, I feel this latest offering is somewhat of a disspointment. It cost me £29.99 from play.com in October 2008. The story of the game is you are out to kill "The Jackal" who is a serial arms dealer who you have had dealings with in the past. To get to him you must steadily build up contacts, unlock ...
...endless landscape, which in itself is beautiful and partly makes up for the poor gameplay. The graphics in general with this game are extaordinary; the beautiful, lush, African landscapes seem to roll on forever, and change rapidly and blend into one another seemlessly. The buildings, people and vehicles are also beautifully made; in general, this game is exceptional graphically and really makes you able to immerse yourself in the game. And it doesn't ...

Review of Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360)

...work? -------------------------------------------------- There is far too much travel in the game! The map being great is a must have but going from one side to the other by car take upwards of twenty minutes. It's very annoying having to kill guards on your travels when you simply want to go to a mission. Bus stops have been located around the map so you can travel corner to corner but I found many missions were not located near them. You also ...
...you need to get aid and also pills. This takes up time and can get annoying when you just want to attempt a mission. ----------------------------------- Graphics -------------------------------------------------------------- Setting the game in Africa, has allowed the design team to use rich colours, amazing mountains, trees and wildlife to deliver amazing game play! In fact the first 5 minutes of the game is yourself in a taxi, which you can't ...

The world of Far Cry 2 is filled with all sorts of nasty people but the real star is the setting its self with its 50 square kilometers of landscape, aside from providing the opportunities from soaking an amazing sunset, Far Cry 2's brilliantly turain harmonizes with the first person combat. With sure a diverse landscape, all environment factors that go along with it, and a Hugh selection of weaponry, your given a tremendous amount of freedom to ...
...leave this African wilderness. Far Cry 2's story goes like this, your a mercenary working for a client, who sent you to an unnamed Africa nation engulfed in civil war, you job is to take out a notorious arms dealer knows as the Jackal. In order to find him you'll need to begin working for various waring factions that you can trance your target. Complicated things is the fact your character has malaria, which mean you'll occasional need to play nice ...

Review of Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360)

When I turned on my Xbox to play this game I was stunned by the amazing graphics and great environment. Although graphics aren't everything the high quality environment does make the game very enjoyable. Another great point of this game is how realistic the explosions and weapon fire is. Weapons will rust and jam more frequently overtime. Ammo is quite easy to find and you don't have to pay for it like on Fallout 3 where I found you had to spend ...
...of side missions which include having to assassinate people and helping out your buddies which can be completed in between doing the main missions. The main missions include attacking a lot of enemy bases where you can take a stealthy approach and use weapons like a silenced MP5 or sniper or just run in spraying bullets out of a saw machine gun. The main storyline is quite long, about 20 hours of game play on an easy difficulty. The missions get ...
