How did Far Cry 2 even manage to get moderately positive reviews?

Far cry was a brilliant game. Maybe if Far Cry 2 was called something else it would have had a warmer reception amongst users.

I played FC2 for about 1/2 hour and just couldn't take it after that....but it's a big HD franchise so it HAS to get a good score. What a world.
