Awesome Game

This review is from: Far Cry 2 PC Game
Pros:
Was looking forward to this game for a while, and I'd have top say I wasn't disappointed. Interactivity and "realism" is top notch. The foliage system is extremely realistic (better than crysis if you'd ask me). The graphics come very close to crysis levels (though the foliage always looks better). The game play is fun, and shouldn't be repetitive if you're familiar with the gta series. Can't really say much about the story-line, since I haven't beaten the game yet, though I'm liking what I've seen so far. Exploration is a big factor with the hidden diamonds and audio tapes, but you risk getting shot up (quite often).
Cons:
One of the biggest cons to this game is it's instability. There's a chance that you'll run into a perform bug (such as the game constantly crashing every half hour, which is the only thing preventing me from playing a couple hours straight). However, there should be a bigger chance that the game will run fine. You can either take the chance in buying this game now, or wait for some more patches to come out.
Game play wise, I have experienced some minor bugs with AI, though they weren't big enough to bother me any. Other people have experienced worse problems regarding the dynamic narrative system, save system, and etc, but I haven't experienced any of those.
Some people also complain about the quick enemy respawn times, but I don't find them a problem. I think this is a little exaggerated, since I've gone through a checkpoint twince (before and after completing a mission), and the enemies did not respawn the second time I passed through.
Overall Review:
Generally a great game. Sort of like a GTA FPS in Africa. Should be enjoyable for those that don't demand bug-free and flawless games. The only reason I do not endorse the PC version of this game fully is because of the performance and stability issues. If there weren't any of these such issues, I'd be shouting far cry 2 everywhere I go. if you are not a chance taker, I'd suggest buying the console version (if you have a console), as those apparently have considerably fewer performance bugs.
