As more and more information is released for Far Cry 2, some of the bigger gaming sites out there are finally getting the chance to unleash their impressions to the waiting public.GameSpot has done a great Impressions Previews on Far Cry 2 and they are specifically talking about dynamic environments and savannah battles that are present within the game. Here is a small quote from the full preview over at Gamespot UK (http://uk.gamespot.com/)

"It's hard to say which aspect of Far Cry 2 is most impressive--the game's powerful tech and excellent audiovisual effects help create a beautiful-looking, constantly changing world full of clever enemies, as well as weapons and vehicles with realistic damage models. However, its fast-paced gameplay looks extremely challenging and should offer plenty of opportunities to use very different strategies in how you want to approach your missions--whether using brute force, sniping enemies from a distance, or even using hit-and-run tactics by keeping a fast vehicle nearby. One thing's for sure: Far Cry 2 is one of the most impressive games we've seen in a long time."

The Preview is a few days old now, but just posting for those that may have missed it. Post your comments here and let us know what you think http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

p.s. Keep an eye on Gamespot UK (http://uk.gamespot.com/) as they have a Developer Studio Special which should be up in the coming weeks.

Thanks a bunch.

There're 2 new interview videos up. Is that the studio special you're referring to?

I think they are planning a more detailed Studio video. Less interview and more showing people around http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I will chase them up and see if they still have it planned.

It's funny how the forum mods are constantly defending Far Cry 2. Seriously, stop deluding yourselves! We were simply lied to with what Far Cry 2 would be.

The game isn't bad. But it is hardly what was promised, no where near what was expected!

Please stop trying to make it look better than it really is. The previews and initial reviews have wasted a lot of hard earned cash by peddling lies.
