Far Cry 2

Far cry 2, a game long anticipated and turned out to have nothing to do with the first game, but in my opinion was still good. This is my Personal reveiw of the game, if you have questions then there is a comment section below.

Gameplay.
Far cry 2 is a first person shooter that i would compare to something like The Grand theft auto series or saints row series but in a first person veiw. The game map is about 50 quare km and is completely open and there are all kinds of missions to choose from. There are story missions(which are reqired to move the game progression along), medicine missions(required to keep your malaria in check, otherwise you get sick and die), and other freelancer missions like assination missions and arm's dealer missions which both require the destruction of a place/vehicule or killing of someone. payment in game is through diamonds which you use to buy and upgrade weapons, but are only available through story missions.

Story.
The story in far cry 2 is that your a mercenary. there are different characters to choose from but all in all the game stays more a less the same. The main story is that you have been ordered to kill "The Jackal", an arms dealer that is supplying the two factions in country that are fighting each other. you end up sick with malaria and the jackal finds you, but you failed the mission or so he says. after a unknown period of time you wake up and fight your way out of the town and get to finding the jackal.

Overall.
Far cry is a enjoyable game, but at times can be boring and even frustrating. An example of this would be how much driving you do and some of the enemy spawn points. The problem i had was driving half way across the world just to get to the place and end up getting shot in the back. This problem isn't a huge one but is to be noted. Otherwise the game runs smoothly and the shooting is fluent.

Score: 4.5/5
