It's worth a shot I guess.

I think it is a good thing for the gaming business. Pirating games are what lead to companies having less money to develop quality titles. Don't blame Microsoft for doing what is right. I modded an original xbox because of all of the cool things you could do with it. But considering the only thing you can do with a 360 is play pirated games I just don't see any reason to do it.

Now if I had an extra 360 just sitting around, I might try it out. But still, pay for the games you love to support the developers. Vote with your money so to speak.

One thing I forgot to mention. The voice acting. Horrible. I heard someone else describe it as "they are speaking without using punctuation."

It's like they are trying to make it sound like they are speaking with an African Accent (see the movie blood diamond for a reference) but they got it all wrong. It's just like they are talking really really fast and ignoring any feeling towards what they are saying. Very fake sounding.

I really like a lot about Far Cry 2. The graphics are great. I love the open world. And I love how on a console I am able to run around in an open world without seeing loading screens. I've seen only one glitch and that was early on where the game just froze up on me at a saving point. I just resumed from the last save point and the next time I didn't have this issue. I also really like the map editor, although I haven't played that much of the multiplayer. I did enjoy it when i was playing though.

Now for the bad. I do agree with what others are saying. 1. The name is completely for name recognition. Has nothing to do with the original Far Cry. They should have went with something like Far Cry Africa or something. 2. The driving back and forth can get a little old. They attempted to remedy this by adding the bus stations so that you don't have to drive all around. But it still is a lot of back and forth. 3. the console version should have an option to save at anytime just like on pc. I don't see why they couldn't do that.

In the end it suffers from what games like GTA suffer from. You feel like you are just running back and forth all over the place doing the same types of things. And that does get old. I still haven't finished GTAIV because of that. I'd still recommend that any gamer buy the game though.
