well thanks... 13 post and you trust my opinion, lol...closet Simmer r u? lol/ jk First one was great, can find it real cheap now-a-days... worth it to test out. FC2 was beautiful and great looking, game play was terrible... terrible weapon feel, bad guys respawning over and over, just poor gameplay design with ALOT of potential that never happened... IMO... hopefully they learned for FC3.

Don't bother looking at Far Cry 1. It has no bearing on FC2 or FC3 as it was done by Crytek, makers of Crysis and Crysis 2. FC2 was done by Ubi in-house and I believe the same for FC3. So while it appears they want to make FC3 look like the first game, my gut says it will play more like the 2nd one. So, if you liked FC2, you should like FC3, maybe more. If you hated it, I don't think you'll like FC3.

Love FC2, I think it's an excellent game. Repetitive with the checkpoints, but still pretty amazing. A lot of games could learn something from it. In SP that is, not MP other than the map editor on console. Plus it turns up dirt cheap on steam sales on a regular basis, easily worth it for the asking price.

Been playing it (FarCry2) and you are right RawKryptonite, a very amazing game. BUT toooooooo repetitive! Those never ending jeeps! LOL
You're using the bus system and the river boats, right? I also went cross country where possible, the roads just make you jeep bait. Pity they didn't put an engine on the hang glider, firing rocket launcher from a microlight would have been very cool.

I was going to say they needed more vertical range. The problem was unlike FC1 you never were that high to start with, so you couldn't get very far before you hit the ground.
I think FC2's issues were all the more glaring because of how enjoyable the rest of it was. I mean, I have over 80 hrs in just 2 playthroughs, and you don't put that kind of time into a game that you don't want to finish.

I finished FC 2 not that long ago and I really enjoyed it except for 2 things,
1. Constantly respawning AI checkpoints
2. The game dragged on for far too long. It took me close to 40 hours to finish it. If I play it again I'll just do the story-driven missions and won't bother with the bonus stuff. Heck, it took me less time to finish Mass Effect 2 and that's an RPG!

These are both fair comments, I think it comes down to the way it is played as well. On the first playthrough I skipped 90% of the side missions because I was playing on Easy (I had my reasons) and didn't need extra diamonds or upgrades. I've gone back and played it on Hard setting since, and especially if not trying to get through game, just doing 30 minutes here and there, and experimenting with all the different ways of smoking out the AI, definitely get money's worth. Or accidentally dying in the fire I started to ambush a convoy

This is a minor point but I found the hang gliders to be pretty much useless in the game. There was even one that was placed on a large rock which was only about 10 feet off the ground. LOL

In Far Cry, yes.
In Far Cry 2, no. They needn't have bothered with them.

I may have missed some hang gliders in FC 2 but of the ones I came across, they really weren't put in high enough spots to use effectively and like Jedi Master mentioned, the hang gliders in the first FC were indeed very useful since they were usually placed on top of very high mountain peaks.

FC2 just didn't have very high mountains. Seeing as it was a fictional location, there's no reason they couldn't have had one decent range on one of the 2 maps.
