This game has a lot of differences among other Far Cry games but other unbalances in game is makes the immersion frustrating. You can repair your car if it's damaged, when you want to use map character is taking out a map from his pocket or something etc. but immersion is not enough for a game to be good, this game's gameplay is too bad. Half of the gameplay is driving a car and driving car doesn't feel good it feels slow and on top of that cars is too vulnerable, even 6-7 bullets can make your car broken. The protagonist is like doesn't exist, he can't talk. Missions are all the same. The other half of the gameplay ''shooting a gun'' is bad too, NPCs not reacting good to bullets. There is not an auto save feature. The story is dogshit we can see the villain a few times but he is not an interesting person. There is enemy camps in game even if you clear the camps they will respawn again and they will make the game too much frustrating for you. You have to repair your car or your car is become too much slower and these camps are on the way to the missions so when enemy shoots your car six and seven times you are going to slow down, and then they will send a car after you to shoot you more. Game loop is repairing your car, and clearing the same camp or roadblock over and over again. Far Cry 1 was frustrating, but Far Cry 2 is frustrating and boring at the same time.

AI have wallhack and they can see you from other side of the map. First half is good I was having fun but the second half is too bad. Story isn't something special. Far Cry 1's mission designs is good but AI making it frustrating by locking on you from miles away, shooting you through the wall. This game was not what I expected though, it was different from all other Far Cry games but it was really frustrating. It could have been a really good game with its gameplay and mission designs but I guess it was just good for its time. This was my first Far Cry game that I finished and I don't recommend this game to anyone.
