AC SC: DA SC:C Far Cry 2 PoP was meh Double Agent and Assassin's Creed were far from terrible, I guess they didn't live up to your expectations. As for Far Cry 2? Well, thats a "love it and hate it" sort of game. Yea, love the graphics. Hate everything else :P
Well that's a shallow viewpoint towards the game, I doubt you would've made a decent review for Far Cry 2. The game had other merits of it's own and it's flaws. The merits being the exceptional audio design and musical score, with a well realized African enviroment that looks hauntingly realistic. The variety of weapons, tools, and openess allows players to play each missions with infinite amount of tactical options. The gunplay feels powerful, weapons have a raw and brutal feel to them. The flaws being the repition of the mission structure, similiar to that of Assassin's Creed. The guard posts are scattered around everywhere, and it doesn't help that they respawn a few seconds after you leave them. The storyline is quite well written, poorly told as it takes a backseat throughout most of the game.
I could go on and on about it's flaws and merits, but the best way to describe Far Cry 2: It's a mixed bag.
