O.K., er, I mean, Sooooo Gooooood!

Far Cry 2 single player could last 25 hours! No 50! ... No 100!

Uh, playwhutyalike, one million play hours doesn't go as far as it used to...

I'm dissapointed to see no co-op.

I'd really like to know if they have fixed the horrendous aiming/targeting system. In Far Cry (1), you could sit in the brush with your gun pointed at a trail, wait for the reticule to turn red, indicating a passing enemy was in your sights, squeeze the trigger, and frag an enemy. As long as your opponent was within the rather large circle of your reticule, the bullets would home in on him. I loved the artwork and atmosphere of the first game, but I couldn't stand the shooting mechanics. Here's hoping they fix it in the sequel.

Which brings me to a larger point, why do devs reinvent the wrong parts of gameplay? Leave well enough alone the ones that already work well and need no variance. Make your own artwork, yes. Groovy story line? Great. New powers? Awesome. Funky new shooting mechanics? What in Samuel Helsinki are they thinking?

Jodie;

To the contrary, most commentary on the net indicates that people want MEANINGFUL motion control or none at all.

"if a game requires too much motion or requires ... too much movement on the player's part, Nintendo asks them to pull it"

Pretermitting the desireability of 1 to 1 control in video games, comments like the above lead me to believe that 1 to 1 controls will never happen on the Wii. Waggle is all we'll get.

Nerf herder, though I remain open to the possibility of Nerf Hurter - whatever that means.
