FAR CRY 2 first impressions

Far Cry was one my favorite games in xbox1 and a technical prowess that has pushed the console’s hardware to its limits.

I have expected FC2 anxiously, especially since FC’s developpers sold the series trademark to Ubisoft and pursued their own career as Crytek, publishing Crysis - available exclusively on PC.

Well I played it for over an hour yesterday on a XBOX360 and my first impressions are excellent:

- it looks fantastic, the graphics are impressive! It definitely raises the bar as per what should we expect of the platform.
- The context, mutant-free and superpower-free is realistic. The fact it happens to Africa makes it even more actual and intense. We all know this shit happens for real there since colonization is officially “over” (yeah right). Tribal wars for diamonds, ruthless mercenaries and arms dealers, poverty and breath-cuttin nature. The game's atmosphere is a winner
- Gameplay is more or less the same than FC1. You have to accomplish objectives though stealth and by carefully planning your attack. The fact that you can chose to fight by day or by night is definitely a must.
- Your character has malaria from the beginning and it only gets worst as the game progresses. Another interesting dimension. FPS’ just got a bit smarter.
- I havent tested multiplayer mode yet. I’ll ke you posted.
