Far Cry 2



Ubisoft tried something a little different, taking a first person shooter and trying to make it open world. Unfortunately by not having anywhere near enough variety when it came to gameplay options, the game just ends up feeling unnecessarily long and drawn out. It lacks any real plot and while the visuals are fantastic as a package it really wasn’t enough to keep me engaged. By the end I was just burning through the main storyline to get to the end. No way I was going to go through all the side missions as well. A good game, but just waaay too long. Three stars.

Three stars is way too kind, Margaret. The game was tedious beyond words.

I played the game for 6 hours straight on Saturday to get through the story just to see it through to the end. If I hadn't complete it in that sitting I think those three stars would've disintegrated into two.
