Playing FarCry 2 on PS3
186 words.
Normally I only play one game at a time, but Need For Speed SHIFT is pretty one-dimensional so I’ve also started FarCry 2 for the PS3. The story is nothing like the original FarCry, sharing only a name that honestly has nothing to do with anything. This time around you’re running (and driving) around an enormous chunk of Africa.
It’s one of those open-world style games, so you can do the missions in any order you want. I actually find this style of game a little annoying – I get a better sense of accomplishment from linear games. With open games I usually feel like I’m wandering around aimlessly for no particular reason. FarCry 2 is not so bad, though – it actually feels a little like an MMO.
I tried some multiplayer but I was not impressed. The lag was pretty intense so it felt like playing on a dial-up connection (maybe nobody was running servers near me). Plus most of the maps that came up were user-generated, which means they pretty much sucked. So far, I’d say FEAR2 had a much better multiplayer experience.
