So, after spending my vacation week playing classic video games, there was one more game that I wanted to go back to the well with, and that was "Far Cry". I had just read the latest issue of "PC Gamer" which had a preview article on "Far Cry 2". That was the push over the ledge I needed to take this title for another spin.
Can just four years a classic make? I think that given a few more years, we'll look back on the adventures of Jack Carver and see that along with a nice story with a good plot twist, Ubisoft upped the ante with a beautiful tropical setting.
I'm pretty sure that my first time through the game, I didn't take time to stop and smell the roses. This time, I'm using more stealth and exploring the islands and what lurks under the water as well. One thing that I have this time as opposed to the last time I played it (aside from a faster machine) is a nice sound system. From gunshots to explosions, the sounds are so much beefier this time.
So if you'll excuse me, I have more Trigens to fight.
