Let it be know first off that I have been a fan of the Far Cry series for years. Having played the first Far Cry on PC and then Xbox, as well as Predator on Xbox 360, I know where the series has come from and what I thought I could expect. With the release of Far Cry 2 last week, I was ecstatic to see what Ubi Montreal was going to bring to us this time around.
A good friend said Far Cry 2 is a first person shooter in a GTA world. I think that sums it up quite nicely.
We got our hands on the Limited Edition of Fable II just after the stroke of midnight last night. Regulars to this blog know that both of us are big Fable fans and have been looking forward to the release for a year at least. It’s here now, I’ve played a couple of hours, and here are my first impressions of the game (with possible spoilers).
I’ve been thinking of classic maps to remake with the new Far Cry 2 mapmaker, and can’t believe I didn’t think of dust from Counterstrike! Well, shadowzack has made on for the PC version of Far Cry, so it’s only a matter of time before someone duplicates it. Way to go shadowzach. (looks like it is a work in progress).
Far Cry 2 ships today and should be at your retailer late tomorrow. Go buy it.
