Cormick McCarthy Novel: the Game

A friend of mine who loves this game got me buy it by describing it as playing a video game version of a Cormick McCarthy novel.

I've only had it for a day but so far I agree. And I'm not disappointed.

Long lonely gaps between intense gritty violence make sense when looking at it in that way. As does skulking away from a fire fight to dig bullets out of your limbs and bandage your wounds.

To put it simple, Far Cry 2 is just the same as the first one but with a few changes. First off you do not have your powers anymore nor will you gain any of them during the single player story. You can still blaze through the missions any way you want by going in at it from many different angles but theres really little stealth to be had in FC2, a knife kill will still alert guards and there isnt an instant kill option if you sneak up on one. Like quite a few 360 games out there, you desperately need an HD TV to really enjoy the game, and frankly I found it nearly impossible to play the game during the night on a standard TV and barely manageable during the day. Another issue I had with the game was its lack of explanation of the online multiplayer , a few words here and there or even some menu help would be nice. Also the multiplayer suffers the same gigantic maps issue that the first FC suffered from sadly you spend ALOT of time running around looking for someone much like its single player counter part. Everything aside the game is still gorgeous and entertaining, but Id gamefly it before Id shell out 60 for it and even then its still cheaper to buy it from gamefly...
