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

This game is easily won of the worst FPS I've ever played! The driving is tedious, guard posts are annoying, A.I. sucks!, the missions are repetitive, the gunplay is weak, multi-player sucks, and the story is terrible! Yet, this game manage to get a average rating of 85 on gamerankings and metacritic.com!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky was a great video game yet it manage to get only 75 average rating on Metacritc.com! S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky was miles better than Far Drive 2!

Seriously, I don't know anyone who likes this game but it manages to undeservingly get good reviews. Seriously, how did this game get good reviews?!

I liked the sounds.
But that's it.
I also don't know why.
I'm playing through it now. I wish I wasn't

Yeah, its not too great. Is it just me or have Ubisoft released the most repetitive big budget games of this gen? Assasins Creed? Prince of Persia? (although I liked those 2) Far Cry 2



It is shit, isn't it... I have no idea how it could have scored so high on average. Same with Crysis, that was almost as insufferable to me.

reviewers don't like bugs in their games, unless when they're reviewing it, they don't see them (GTA IV)

as for Far Cry 2, I can't say because I haven't played it.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

It's probably the worst game in my collection.
Yes, even worse than the High school musical SingStar. At least that had jailbait.

I thought it was good, but incredibly incredibly flawed. Its actually more of a driving game than a shooter, having malaria is dumb, Guard Posts are the worst thing ever created in gaming and the shooting mechanics suck.

The open world is nice though, and I liked hunting deer with a rifle.

The Guard Posts though, ruined this game single handedly. You couldn't move without being stopped, and when the guards chased you in a truck they actually chase you until they find you. Your walking along a peaceful field when a truck starts gunning you down all of a sudden, a truck you probably alerted like 5 hours ago!



that game sucked driving around was awful every few feet u would run into enemys that for me killed it
