Far Cry - Shmar Cry

Far Cry 2...what a dissapointment. Probably what Eva Braun might have felt like when she went down on Hitler and found he only has one nut. No seriously, I think this game is horrible. Its stupid as hell. The game Far Cry 2 is supposed to depict some sort of African civil war. An African civil war where two factions are going at each other in a huge map, yet strangely enough the headquarters of the two factions are litteraly across the street from each other in a small village in the center of the map. Excuse me if I dont feel immersed in this portrayal of Africa. Its like that movie lucky number slevin, except that movie seemed like a parody of itself (havent actually watched it, so tell me if Im wrong). But both the oppsoing factions have their places across the street from each other in that movie, which seems really silly. Back to the game FC2. They can just walk push the button for the green light and then cross the street and be done with each other. Then there are all the random vehicles that constantly come after you out of NOWHERE when you least expect it. Very original.

The only really impressive thing about the game is all the different hand animations, like you see your charahcter hands fixing a car. Funny: In FC2 any all damage to your car can be fixed...by simply screwing a nut on your cars cooler. Engine riddled with bullets? Flat tires? No problem, just screw a little bit on that magic nut on the cooler and I promise it will all go away. Dont believe me? Get a baseball bat hit up a few dent on your car and then pop the hood and start screwing and the cooler and watch those dents go away. Modern technology is amazing. But FC 2 is just STUPID. The only thing it has in common with the orignal game is the name. Other than that Far Cry 2 is a far cry from Far Cry. (Not the best pun, but I couldnt resist)
