Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars A MONSTER of a game!!!

The game looks great, the environmental effects and lighting are awesome. I loved Far Cry and had high expectations from Far Cry 2. Initialy I found the missions boring and the travel tedious but after a few side missions and help from NPC buddies things took a whole new turn. Hunting down diamonds and taking out targets from afar before storming various locations such as airports and shany towns is totally intense. Setting fire to the bush and watching it spread is one of the more interesting tactics you can use to take out enemies, especially when your on the run. This isn't the same game as Far Cry, it's different and all the better for it.

Honestly thought this was a great game. Yet I give it one star because it crashes constantly, that's if you can get it to run at all!!
Don't get me wrong, I have a very decent crossfire rig that runs everything without problem, but this game is ridiculous.
One second your looking at a breathtaking African sunset, then boom desktop. Now that I want to run through it again, it wont let me. Crash, crash, crash, c'mon Ubisoft you've got my money. Let me play!!!!!!
