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.

"Far Cry 2 is a slog for the first few hours of gameplay, but you've got to stick with it because it soon turns into one of the most revolutionary FPS games of the decade."
What are you guys Smoking or who has given you a sweetner to write such rubbish?? get a grip
same as the Reviews for GTA 4 another MAJOR let down..
really crap review, thought intially the game was good, then it's just repeating itself over and over and over and.. im bored, at 93% done and really want to finish but its not drawing me in.. Bad story, the audio in the game is terrible cant hear the dialogue properly and god f... just like the iphone all hype NO substance..
Brutal game. looks good but man is it boring.

after giving it my undivided attention about 93% finished, my conclusion is its a beautiful looking game with a really bad story or if the story is good it just doesnt come across in the game the dialogue is very week and its barely audible most of the time, also when i shoot someone repeatedly with a machine gun and they dont die, its ridiculous, and also enemies respawning straight away is bloody lazy also, it just does'nt keep you engrossed in the game, the world although really nice to look at doesnt draw you in.. im so dissapointed with this game and also size is'nt everything, id preder half the game world with more time being spent on making the game flow alot better. a real let down from the first game.. at least there was variation in FAR CRY 1, This game leads you to believe its going be good and at 93% done i've had some moments of fun but the rest just boredom wanting to get it finished..
im playing it on hardcore and no complaints with difficulty i just dont think its a challenge whatever setting you play on
big let down..
6/10

lol im way past that ive completed over 50% of the game im now in the southern part of the game, anyone who says the game is crap or repetative is a crap gamer (i guess true hardcore gamers are realy a dying breed, the games industry is now being swamped by noobie gamers who want an fps where you can get shot over 100 times before you need any health you can jump down sky scrapers and not die basicly making the games far to easy and short). well i can firmly position farcry 2 as a hardcore fps none of that easy run in and kill everything in sight you actually have to think before you jump ect. im sure the game deserves its review score just face it if you says its crap your only describing your self as a gamer CRAP

Im only up 2 act 1-8% but i am so sick of this game im getting my money back asap..

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.........................
