A Repetitive Far Cry Game
Far Cry 2, just like the others Far Cry, is filled with action: raining bullets and big explosions are constant during the playthrough.
There are many options of killing enemies, from pistols and knife to bazookas and heavy guns. Although having a good arsenal of weapons, those weapons feel much like the same and there is no customization.
The story is okay, it's about killing an arms dealer during a civil war in an african country, pretty standard Far Cry stuff. But the gameplay is simply repetitive. It's a basically "go there and kill this dude". The tension moments are limited and the characters are, for the most part, boring.
This game get you excited in the beginning because of the action, but a dozen hours of it and just becomes boring
Rating score: 6/10
