Having played most of the other "first person shooter" games, I find Far Cry 2 to be the very best. I have had months and months of enjoyment playing this game at the most difficult setting (Infamous). For an old guy like me, it's a great excercise for the brain/reaction reflexes. I would recommend such PC games to other retired folk to keep their mental abilities working.

Expect to spend more than 1/2 the time driving & wandering, punctuated by occasional skirmishes that leave us barely satisfied. Graphics is good, gameplay mechanics suffer a bit... protagonist doesn't have a full body, hence no shadow unlike crysis... HDR effect is awful: too dark to see sometimes plus haven't found any tweaks to optimize so far.

It's actually possible that I've racked up more hours playing Far Cry 2 time and time again than I did when replaying my beloved Deus Ex.
Every time I play it, there are always new ways to tackle missions - and the missions vary depending on the choices you make.
If you don't remain fully alert don't be surprised if you get shot - and being targeted by an unseen sniper at night will take some ingenuity to get him before he gets you.
Should you get cocky and decide to make an unprepared attack on superior forces, be prepared to devise a rapid escape plan.
If any game can sharpen your reflexes, this is the one.
Ignore its detractors, forget the 're-spawning', and just enjoy.

Far Cry 2
Delivered pretty quick I think it was 2-3 days. Game is ok but I found it a bit long winded. Getting plants to make health is a bit drawn out. Graphics are good on my pc. Read more

Disappointing
A fairly ho hum FPS with an annoyingly preachy storyline, and railroaded ending. It has it'smoments, but they are too few and far between to make it worth playing. Avoid.
