I can't afford all the great titles coming out, so I am going through gamefly. Since everything else is booked up they sent me farcry 2 first. Which is good because this game wouldn't have been picked up till next year. This is a great game that will really eat the clock away on you. It has that " let me try that mission again, oh wait let me reload that and do it this way" feeeling to it. it is really exhilirating to be sniping a enemy camp and have you weapon explode from overuse, or when the wind changes and suddenly you own fire is bearing down on you. Even the best laid plans can fall apart, and then you must think on the fly. I really dug almost every aspect of this game, however wrecking your car in the middle of the jungle miles from anywhere means, your walking...again...
( Interesting side note I, accidentaly, hit an impala with my truck, hopped out and snapped a pic with my phone and totally fooled all my hunter friends.)

I dont know how to explain this game, its down right badass. Everything is epic, story line, graphics, game play, and weapons. The problems i saw with it was, A: i miss the times when you can go back after you beat the game and continue to play for more money and gear, how come games dont have that anymore. The story line was intense, very well thought out. I enjoyed fixing my wounds, sometimes it even made me flinch while he snapped his leg back into place or extracted a bullet from his hand. The multiplayer, not so good, just a little to slow, and weird for me, but nice try. Anyways good job Ubisoft, now get crackin on another jungle game like the first one! with the unreal engine for the 360 baby! i give this game a 8/10

-hard (everything is so technical)
-boring (the environment is the same shit)
-annoying (why the freak are 10 random guys shoot at you at once?)
-missions suck!

Finnaly got this game, and I'm glad. It's tons of fun and the environments are gorgeous. You can play as almost any type of character. Run-and-gun, tactical, explosives, stealth. It succeeds on all levels. I'm personally a fan of the realism involved. 1 headshot = 1 kill with ANY gun. If you have'nt picked this one up, do so, it's cheap now, and worth every penny.

this game was fun but extremely repetetive and EVERYWHERE you go you get shot at by some african with a trigger finger and purple haze in his lungs. Mikes bar is the sanctuary of this game. I cry out for the next one to be more varied but as big and free playing as this one.
