0 comments by ~Saxon~ on Jun 30th, 2011

There are some things I spend a lot of time taking to finish, either due to a lack of interest or just generally forgetting about it.  Far Cry 2 is one of those things.

I started playing Far Cry 2 when it was new, but I was immediately turned off by how unlike Far Cry 1 it was.  Despite the massive sandbox freedom of movement was extremely limited, enemies lacked variation (only mercs, no choppers or monsters?) and it was extremely repetitive. 

The repetitiveness of the game is frustratingly high - you'll often find yourself going past the exact same points, fighting off the exact same respawned enemies.  Expect to do this 10 or 20 times at least for any given route.  It doesn't help that the game nearly always bottlenecks into going a certain way, which is not what a Far Cry game should be about.

Basically if you've played one FC2 mission, you've played them all - for that reason I only ever played the game one mission at a time.  This is why it took me so long to complete the game.  It was kind of a slap in the face for all those years of playing only to get one cheap cutscene at the end of the game: a couple of NPCs walk left to right, that's it.

Despite these criticisms I'm not going to say FC2 is a bad game, but it's certainly not worth going out of your way to get nor is it particularly memorable.  Crysis or Far Cry 1 are still the superior alternatives.
