Far Cry 2 (Classics)

Unfortunately this game is actually very good. Extremely realistic in places with fantastic enemy AI and beautiful looking landscapes. The weapons and vehicles feel, sound and look awesome. There are times you really do feel like you're in Africa.

All of this is so disappointing due to a massive glitch in the game called the "73% glitch" or the "closed door glitch". This is a point in the game you come to where you have one main story to complete to further advance the game but the door to the room you need to get into to take the mission is mysteriously closed and cannot be opened thus making the game IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE!

Highly disappointing as I was really enjoying this game and had put in over 40 hour of game play. It supposedly happens in 60% of copies sold regardless of format, ps3, 360 and pc all affected and as of today there is still no patch to fix it. Google "far cry 2 closed door glitch" for your self.

Graphically this game is near if not top of the tree. The game world is huge and you need a car or fast travel via the bus system. You get a real feel of vast african savannas and the mountain ranges. The days and nights come and go with what feels a real world does.

The game it self does tend to repeat it self. In that you go find a man, he gives you a mission to kill or destroy some thing then you get medicine or part of the campaign resolved.

There is also the level builder which in it's self is a major works. Design your own level and even publish it via xbox to others.

Online games I felt were not the best, but to be honest I didn't give the game much of a chance as I tend to play COD 4-5 and they take some beating.

At the current price of £9.99 I think it is well worth a look.

These are the main issues why I didn't enjoy this game:

*Repetitive
*Open world becomes pointless, not enough interaction / to do
*Missions don't feel real and lack real substance
*Game creates no sense of accomplisment / progress
*Voiceovers really awful
*Multiplayer with hardly anyone and taking hours to start matches

Unless you can play a demo or someone else's copy I would personally avoid this game like the plague.

okay, the game is decent, but there's NOTHING to do! when something remotely interesting happens it means i have to travel to the other side of the map to get there! the best part that actually got me interested in it was the flamethrower, because burning the forest down really is quite fun.
the games i want to buy (and probably what everyone else does too) are the ones that really catch my attention, and cause me to play for hours and hours without taking my eyes off the screen and realizing where i am, and this game really doesnt do that. i want to turn it off as soon as im lost in some random shanty town looking for a tiny diamond that means nothing.
