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

Looks great... gave me motion sickness after an hour...

Typical ultra-boring-repetitive game alla Ubisoft...



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

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.


Screw you dude, Crysis was awesome!

Because some guy on youtube says so? Its still shit to me.



It was HD, had good graphics, had online multiplayer, hand an advanced physics engine and was a sandbox game ... basically it had all the points that needed to be checked off the elitest reviewers arbitrary review form to get a good review. Whether or not any of these elements added to the enjoyment of the game is unimportant, all that matters is that they're there and a game is (basically) ensured a good score.



Yeah it was OK but for $9.99 on clearance at Target I grabbed multiple copies for myfriends and myself. I spent some time in single player and it wasn't that bad, but driving everywhere and having to drive on the other side of the world for some missions was a bit stupid.

Multi player is average and no COD thats for sure.

Worth $10 maybe $20 but was no way worth the $60 when it came out. I'm also suprised by the reviews but graphically it was very nice.

I have to say the sandbox idea was great, but in the end I would have rather had a straight foward approach to the single player campaign.



It's just that simple.

For me the biggest flaw is... Why the hell it is called Far Cry 2?

There is nothing like the first one, different environment, different characters, different story... Where the hell are the trigen?

its good at first with super visuals especially in jungle areas, but desert areas looked drap and it had far to much traveling and far to many respawning enemies.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

lets ask Assassins Creed and The Conduit shall we ?



Pile of garbage game.

Glad i played it offline on my other gamertag.



cause it's on hd console.
being a game on hd console with nice realisitc graphics guarantee 75+/100 on meta/gamerankings. if it's shooter then you know it will have 80+/100.
