Well, so far I think it's a bit crap
The graphics are superb, I have everything on high, running DX10 and res of 1920 x 1200, the same res as my desktop.
Movements are fluid, mouse control is good, no jerkiness, everything is smooth and looks absolutely brilliant.
The problem is in the gameplay itself.
I keep keeling over and dying of malaria and it is royally cheesing me off
Lemme see, playing on easy level, I sit through the longest ever opening intro movie I've ever known in a game. I get instructions to kill the guards in a safe house and am pointed towards a car. I fix the car, jump in, drive, park up near safe house, creep through undergrowth and kill guards.
Nip into safe house and have a kip til six in the morning.
I come out, the car's disappeared and my mission status still says 'Kill the scouts and unlock the safe house'. I couldda sworn I done that
So I start walking around, get dizzy, and open up my medicine pills container - I don't have any so I die and end up re-spawning back where I got the original instructions.
So I fix the car again, drive to safe house, there are no scouts to kill now and my instructions are still the same - kill the scouts & unlock the safe house.
I drive around for a while, looking for clues, but just die of malaria again.
What total crap
I've just wasted £25.00 I think, just to see some good graphics.
So that's two in a row I've wasted money on now cos I didn't think much of Crysis Warhead either - dying and having to play a level over and over just to reach a checkpoint is not my idea of fun.
I'm going to start Far Cry 2 again from the beginning and see if I missed anything. The manual offers few clues, it just says you need to take pills now and again. Gurrrrr - what a crock of crap
I just hope CoD5 is good.
Right now I'm off to play the CoD2 GobRats maps - rifles only but real good fun.
