Just plain fun  
Far Cry 2 is a truly next gen shooter.

Far Cry 2 is a VERY absorbing game. You have to think about how many bullets are left in your gun, or if its gonna jam, you have to actually repair your car, or self (think prying bullets out of your leg, or injecting yourself with *something* to keep going), and the cockpit driving is great. Running around the African landscape, doing missions to unlock more guns (there are LOTS of guns :]) or safehouses, or just get money is a blast. The graphics are GREAT, and setting fire to stuff is really fun. The open world is something pretty new to the FPS genre, and this game does it well, except that it gets old having to driving for ten minutes every time you want to do something. My only other complaint is that the gameplay gets a little old, though new guns and vehicles help somewhat, and the story sucks pretty bad. Vote if you read please, thanks.

The major downfall to this game is the repetitive gameplay. Getting to various locations is frustrating, especially if they are far away, due to the outrageous re-spawn times of the computer at every outpost. Consequently, the game eventually reaches a point (<10 hour mark for me) where the player no longer wants to be involved in gunfights, which is the whole point of an fps, and instead attempts to avoid them in every possible way.

I agree with the majority written in the above review. There is no doubt that there are many features of Far Cry 2 to like and enjoy, and after my ~10 hour gameplay time I still had ~80% of the game left to complete. It is too bad that due to the frustration of travelling, I no longer desire to play and complete this last 80% of the game.
