First of all: the I-reviewed game here in the present version 1.0 has become a good game! The graphical implementation examined probably second to none, is simply groundbreaking, and will probably stay that way for now. Important to mention here is the really excellent interplay between the Dunia engine with a modern multi-core processor. I play it with a resolution of 1680x1050 in the highest levels of detail and there on my now already nine months old system no stuttering. The game runs fast and smooth as you want it. There also appears to be relatively bug free, I've already played in singleplayer mode and can not find anything serious.
Keyword singleplayer mode: the gameplay and the basic concept are strongly reminiscent of blissful "Boiling Point" - "Road to Hell" times. However, one has in FarCry 2 any disturbing details of "Boiling Point" storyline eliminated - and these were some! So you can now uninhibited act as ruthless mercenaries in one of the war-torn African country, put together his orders and weapons from a umfangreichhen offer. This makes a total of fun, but there are more engaging games that mainly produce a wide beklemmedere Atmossphäre when the present game. Here you should have done much more and need. Personally, I find it too easy to play through, because with the necessary tactical "know-how" are a set no major obstacles in the way here. That was at the Crytek predecessor still different and more demanding total. Overall, this was also thrilling. As a major plus point, I expect the present game, but also that there are realistic weapons here and you fight against human beings and not against any mutants. My conclusion here is that we have indeed made a good game with a ordentlihen and aggressive AI that a graphically captivating landscapes presented, but voltage and Atmossphäre and tactical difficulties have been partly too much neglected. This is clearly better, but maybe here create future patches Remedy.
Multiplayer Mode: when is he started again, and you finally get to play, he makes fast fun and the myriad possibilities of upgrading weaponry surely contribute to the joy of playing. The possible varieties are good overall. BUT: currently the online players is probably not as high and it takes sometimes unreasonably long until latches the computer in one of the possible game server. This can very quickly nerves properly. And what also annoys correct, the fact that you can automatically return to a abgeschlossenenn ranked multiplayer game for multiplayer main menu and does not remain on the server for a new round! This is very bad because the whole Prozeur the (currently sensationally long) dialing procedure starts all over again !!! So you need a lot of time! But again: because if one finally comes to online games, it's really good! And above all Dingenn seeeehr quickly what definitely one of the pluses. My conclusion to the multiplayer mode so falls still very mixed. Here it must be readjusted due to the mentioned, really serious shortcomings urgently. Should these deficiencies once weren fixed, but threatens certainly addictive!
Game Effects: on this central point, we can say that sound and graphic highlights really are very good. Even the often-praised "realistic fire" looks great. BUT: the burning time is too short and thus the great effect not keep unfortunately very long ago. The flamethrower leaves of effectiveness is still a lot to be desired - gemesen at its realistic role model anyway. Molotov cocktails hit the niicht an opponent directly, fizzle its effect partly totally, happened without anything. Not even the spread of the fire mixture can be observed. This is completely incomprehensible and would have to be made much better. Like worked in the blessed, the first part of "Max Payne" many years ago already better. Here the advertising clearly has promised more than it holds. For other works much but very good and day and night and weather effects are really good. However, it is already to hear that you're working on a patch that is to breathe the flora and fauna live here longer. So Let's hope that the problems addressed here are resolved. The conclusion for this section therefore also means here that not everything that glitters is gold.
Finally I can say that the purchase of the game has found it satisfactory, and therefore, although this may not necessarily sound the acquisition of the Collectors Edition also from the above text from me so out. But it makes no sense to me to write only positive about something that still has significant weaknesses and this I wanted here to show unvarnished. Anyone who plays with the idea to buy this game, I can highly recommend it. But I would point out that the present version 1.0 is far from perfect, though the game has been going surprisingly stable and error-free per se. So Let's hope that brings the awaited and deserved perfection the future in the form of patches ...
