game is polarizing. you'll love it or hate it. it's clunky and annoying. but something will keep drawing you back... maybe the jungle drums. or the life you could've had, if you'd made different decisions.

Played almost every far cry game and since I have the bundle I decided to give Far Cry 2 a try, with the redux mod that fixes most technical issues this game is a hugely slept on gem. The atmosphere and gameplay is entirely different than any other far cry game. It's more brutal and unforgiving which is very much in theme with its' setting of an African state in the middle of a civil war.
The whole malaria mechanic can definitely be annoying but it being a constant threat adds to the already incredible tension this game has.
The AI can be unfair at times but most of the time I'm just genuinely impressed. I'm not sure how they dumbed down the AI so much in Far Cry 3 when the AI in this game use strategies, rescue their teammates, and overall behave more humanlike
All in all this is an amazing Far Cry game if you've ever wanted to feel like you're stuck in an African Civil War.

For a 16 year old game, it still has great gameplay compared to some of todays releases, also much more memorable than the latest sequel, Far Cry 6.

this story of this game is pretty brutal. the story goes where you get hired to kill a guy who armed both side and then some guy hired you to kill some guy and your buddy interrupt you by hiring you to kill some other guy instead and then suddenly you get told to kill the guy who hired you to kill some guy and then you kill the guy who betrayed you and then you were move in some place to kill some guy there and then a new guy hired you to kill some guy and your new buddy interrupt you to kill other guy instead and then suddenly you were told to kill the guy who hired you to kill some guy and a great plot twist emerge where the guy that told you to kill the guy who hired you to kill some guy came back and told you to kill the guy who told you to kill the guy who hired you to kill some guy. and then suddenly your buddy or the guy who arm both side i think tells you to kill the guy who told you to kill the guy who hired you to kill some guy and also told you to kill another guy who told you to kill the guy who hired you to kill some guy and then your act 1 buddy suddenly appear that you thought they were dead but you kill them all along with your main buddy from act 2 and then the guy who arms both side gave you a battery that can possibly kill you and the guy who arm both side and then you killed yourself along with the guy who arms both side possibly and then the pastor guy takes a picture of the explosion like hes special for not dying. 10/10 Game would recommend.

This game is unplayable on the PC. I would not recommend you to waste your money on this at all. I was stuck at the same mission for 1 hour trying to talk to this guy and it wouldnt let me. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

The game is fun and replayable, with relatively good looking graphics and pinpoint attention to detail, however, the only problems are visual bugs and crashing.

Older players like to reminisce about how cool and open-ended FC2 was, often citing the "amazing fire physics" but the truth is this is a very disjointed game that very clearly had a troubled development.
Everything feels half-assed; The writing sucks, the missions suck, the shooting is mediocre and the ending is essentially "Poochie died on his way to his home planet"
It's still an okay game, but highly overrated.

Hard game, doesn't hold your hand, quite difficult, every map encounter could be your last.. Heart of Darkness like experience. Next replay will be on the hardest difficulty, this game has a unique setting, it's not typical bright colors flashy sharp picture, Story is brutal, you're not the typical good guy, merc doing missions for diamonds to buy ammo and occasionally help others in exchange for malaria pills. It's brutal and unforgiving, I had a buddy npc which suffered damage and I didn't have a syringe to rescue him.. felt real.. tough..
Anywyay great game, you should deffinitely try it out, give it a chance and it won't disapoint.
