I just played Far Cry 2... and man o man o man, that game just looks awesome! The lighting, the sound... everything is nigh on perfect! Sorry Halo 3 but... move over! There's a new king in town: FarCry 2! It's got the whole african vibe at it's best. Even the music is like the lion king, but even better! Did I mention that the whole game world is just one big open place? You can drive/swim/hunt/shoot/blast everything. I personally like the flamethrower. Is there a baddy in your way? JUST BURN 'EM! (And hear the agonising screams of dooooooom! ) You can also drive EVERY vehicle in this game, even on some places you can take the bus to go from place a to place b! You don''t have to take the nessecary (typo?) missions to enjoy the african... wildlife?.... heck! Where are all the lions? Giraffes? Elephants? Yup, I only could spot a few(!!!!) gazelles in the distance, running away. The MAIN predators in this game are the baddies with their guns. And you like sunsets? Just go to a safehouse, set it around noon, and go to a open spot (without getting caught!) This game is no subsititute for africa but it comes waaaaaaaaay close to it! Graphical it is TOP NOTCH: the wind, dynamic weather, swaying trees/grass/realistic fire... it's just nigh on perfect! (10/10) Music: well... if you like african music, this is your cup of soup, if you don't... uuuuuuuhhhhhh..... then you don't! (8/10) Replay value: I bet this game will stay in your XBOX for a looooooong time if you once got started! (9/10)
Personally I got bored of the game in 20 minutes or so. The graphics were great though I always was streaming music so I don't know about the music on it. It was just something about it that I didn't like and became boring rather quick for me. Nice review though.
I liked the game at first, but I got bored with how long the driving took to go to one place to another with no option of fast travel other than the cheap bus.
