Ok so this is a review of the game Farcry 2. Farcry 2 is a game by the guys over at Ubisoft Montreal. In this game you play as one of 8 characters, each following the same story. Now the story of the game is that the character that you chose is a mercenary who is ridden with malaria as soon ass he reaches the country of Africa. Now the reason you are in Africa is you are hunting for a criminal offender who is wanted for “criminal things.” So this game takes you up and down the African coastline looking for the Jackal
the bad guy in the game. Now that you have background info on the game lets get to the review.
Farcry 2 is apparently a sequel the hit game Farcry, even though the game has almost no similarities to the first. Farcry uses the Dunia (proprietary) and the Havok engine, The Havok engine may seem familiar because it was in the games Elder scrolls 4 oblivion, The Saints Row series, Some games in the Sonic series, Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. And let me say it works B-E-A-UTIFULY. The game immerses you in a world of drama and awesomeness to the highest degree. Now in the game the malaria that you contract plays a vital role, because every 40-45 minutes in real-time your character passes out, that is why you need to make sure you have your handy dandy malaria medicine. The controls are average First person shooter, nothing unique here. The game has one of the most in-depth map editors I have ever seen. It relates to that of the games of the Tony Hawks franchise’s map makers. In the map editor you choose from 1 of a few templates then the rest goes to your imagination. The game spans over 50-60 hours with three acts. The biggest upside to the game is its realism such as, weapon degradation, physics, and the look of the African coastline safari, and the way that the people act towards you is kind of like real life too. If you murder some one and continue to do that people will resent you. However there are flaws that will hold this game back. CRASHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This game crashes like cars on I-95. (PC version mostly) The game has some other problems like that enemies will spawn out of nowhere, and on the highest difficulty this game it just gets unbearable to the point I want to break my controller. The games online mode works fairly well, and you can take your beast friends work of art (the map he made In the map editor) and torch it to the ground. One last thing I would have liked is maybe a local/split screen so that way when you have friends over and your playing online against friends you don’t have to take your friend, who’s is really bad at this game, I mean so bad he makes your grandmamma look like a member of the WCG team for Shooters (WCG=world cyber games) so all together here is the summarization of the game.
Graphics=9.5/10
Controls=8/10
Writing=7/10
Gameplay=8/10
Storyline=8.5/10
Playability=High
Characters=Kind of memorable
Overall=8/10
Replay value= Very high (if your up to it)
Summarization= This game has amazing graphics, A good story, And every thing else except the writing and the glitches and the crashes, its just Like a chicken and dumpling thing, Without the dumplings.
