Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out “The Jackal,” a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfill your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses and neutralize their superior numbers and fire-power with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.

Great game, challenging yes but thats a good thing!
To quote the last poster
"what would you rather do be at home playing video games or be board stupid fighting in irak or afganistan seeing the same environment day after day after day ect as far as im concerned faycery 2 presents a more realistic environment and better challenge than most other shooters."
How is playing a FPS videogame at home anything like fighting in Iraq for real??
Some kids need a reality check, just because you might "own noobz" or whatever whlist twidling your thumbs and shouting at yout t.v does NOT qualify you to partake in a real gun fight.....FFS
NOW GET BACK TO PLAYING, SHUT UP AND EAT YOUR POTATOE CRISPS, GET FAT AND STAY DELUSIONAL.........................

i find it amazing just hao many noobs there realy are, the only reason they say farcry 2 is crap its cause its too hard for them they expect to just wander into a compound and not get shot and when they get shot a few times and die they complaine. well life a [#@!?] and so is this game which is why its so good it presents something which most modern games dont have "A CHALLENGE".
what would you rather do be at home playing video games or be board stupid fighting in irak or afganistan seeing the same environment day after day after day ect as far as im concerned faycery 2 presents a more realistic environment and better challenge than most other shooters.
just 1 thing im a bit confused about why isnt anyone digging in to saints row 2 or gta4 there similar always in the same environment only you can survive 50 rounds of ammo being fired directly at you (not very realistic eh).
ill carry on as part of a diying breed or hardcore gamers

I loved the original far Cry but this is
booooring, not worth a penny, repetitive, crappy AI, the 70 bucks I most regret this year, nothing new, nothing exciting... this is on PS3

One of the most boring games i've ever played!!!

I found the single player too repetitive and boring. But the really crap thing is the mulitplayer lobby system, what were they thinking? Is so bad half the time its impossible to get a game, then at the end of a single match it kicks you back to the lobby and you have to search for the same server again? What retards idea was that?

Loved it big time. Got the collector's edition on the release day and was not disappointed at all. "Avoid at all costs"? WTF? It's great. yes alot of traveling and yes AI bugs but do u expect all the objectives in the game world to be a short stroll frm each other? Lazy sods. Probs didn't realise theres a bus service tht gets u close to most objectives. It's not repetitive at all. yes the gun missions are but they made sense tht way. Each storyline mission is totally individual. You'll never be doing the same thing twice on any of them. Ending is good too. Yes theres a lack of a plot but do u really need one while planning hw to abush some police cheif or when readying to storm an enemy village? I think not. If u want imagination, [#@!?] off and read a book.

You're entitled to your opinion - I think if you persevere past the first few hours of repetition the game will open up and reward you. I'm not entirely sure why you brought Stranglehold into the equation though - TOTALLY different type of game, with only one thing in commin - they've both got guns.

very repetitive, not worth the buy, the detail is lacking as well, for example, you cant shoot the tires off a car, you are fighting the same fight over and over, it is total crap, the only thing decent is the destructive environment and catching stuff on fire... but for anyone who has played the game stranglehold, this is nothing even close to impressive, 2 thumbs down
