Far Cry 2 - A Triumph of Hype over Substance
Quite some time ago I pre-ordered Far Cry 2 from Amazon, and it finally arrived... well, I'd say "earlier today", but I'm a good two hours into tomorrow by now, so I suppose it arrived yesterday.
Oh, before you ask... no, the game wasn't good enough to keep me up until two in the morning. I went to bed three hours ago, but got bored of not sleeping, so here I am. In the interest of full disclosure, I've only played it for two or three hours so far; I haven't got terribly far in yet, so it may get better further in. Hopefully.
Anyway, let's get the good out of the way first; it won't take long.
( Praise and (a bit of) vitriol after the cut... )
