Richard Leadbetter is a man with more patience in one day than I’ll ever have in a lifetime. Somehow he finds it within himself to run comprehensive investigations into which versions of videogames are best for Eurogamer. The latest is Far Cry 2, and I mention it here because the PC dun won it.
“Map-finding issues apart, Far Cry 2 is an excellent release on PC, and the fact that it can run in high definition with all features set to high levels while still providing a reasonably smooth, graphically superb experience is a first-rate achievement.”
We already knew, obv, but just saying.

Oh, shameless plug, search for ”Yadar Swamps” and “Yadar Gorge” maps on Far Cry 2 map community! D:
Anyone mention that FarCry 2 PC is currently on sale for $18 on amazon?
That might be relevant.
Despite currently having nothing to play it on, I believe I’ll take them up on that offer.
I understand the criticisms, but Far Cry 2 is still my game of the year as well. I loved the combat, and the impeccably crafted atmosphere and sense of place really won me over whenever the travel grind was starting to blunt my enthusiasm.
The presence of the bus station only makes *some* of the missions *a little* easier.In most of the missions the location is just too far from bus stations and there’s usually still two or three checkpoints that you have to go through. I’ve completed like 55% of the game and I’m thinking of uninstalling it. Going from point A to B,shooting some bad guys,again go from B to C,pick something up,and return to base :most of the missions are different combinations of the stuff above.At least throw in some interesting cutscenes for mission briefing,But NO.
I’d have to agree with FC2 as GOTY. No other game this year has drawn me in quite so effectively as it did.
I’ve come up with a method to get away from the guard posts.
Firstly you must find yourself a jeep with a machine gun on the back to travel around in.
Before you begin to set off anywhere, Get in the MG turret of the jeep and turn the MG so that it is facing the opposite way in which your drive. When you approach a guard post, floor it and go about 500 metres past the guard post, quickly swap to the MG turret and pump the bastards full of lead, then swap back and drive off. Piece of cake
A piece of cake you have to consume 10 times in a row when trying to get anywhere on the map.
@ Saflo – Exactly!
I found FC2 disapointing. I honestly don’t know how anyone could enjoy it more than Clear Sky. Seemed like Stalker without a personality.
I didn’t think it was a bad game just surprisingly dull. I blame it on the PCGamer review. It hyped it up to be the most amazing game ever, I played and I was so disappointed I gave up a few hours later. A bigger disappointment than GTA4 for me, I’ve got to stop getting dragged in by all the hype!
@jonas it runs fine on any good computer lol
