I loved the first, hated the second. Besides very average graphics for a game of this generation, the game play is terribly complex. The soundtrack is zero and the very vague scenario painfully behind an open environment. Technically the game is poorly designed, there is often slowdowns and blockages. The system requirements are very selective for graphics cards (which probably explains it as rowing). By comparison, my PC is turned "Call of Juarez 2" like clockwork but "Far Cry 2" train like a Roman galley (even putting the config minimum). In short a great disappointment that I will not recommend it.
