Cons:
There are really only two flaws in Far Cry 2, but they are super annoying and can get to be extremely frustrating.
1. Whenever your objective requires you to travel through a guard post you usually have to kill all of the soldiers stationed there, because they will follow you in trucks otherwise. This is fun to do because you gain experience with each conquered guard post. The annoying part is that the guards continue to respawn at the guard post indefinitely. So, every single time you pass that guard post, you have to stop and kill everyone there. This is fun to do most of the time because you can test out all of your guns, however, when you have to stop in the middle of a mission over and over again, it gets to be quite tiresome.
2. Your character cannot climb up the side of hills or mountains. Not too bad, except for if your car gets blown up in the middle of nowhere and you have to walk for a super long time to get anywhere near civilization. Practically everything is surrounded by mountains, so if you total your vehicle in the middle of a long road, make sure you brought your hiking boots.
Overall:
Far Cry 2 is a really fun shooter with a satisfying campaign and tons of vehicles and guns to complete it with. This game is an absolute must have.
