Everything about this game is child's play, there is nothing mature about it at all. They claimed it was going to be tactical and it isn't, they claimed it was going to be a huge open world and as soon as you get off the path indicated by them, you get Malaria and die (unless you get those Miracle Pills that you won't get until your 2nd mission.

The game is the worst optimized console port I have played yet, worse than Vegas 1 and that was a complete sham. I don't want to get off on a rant here so I'll let it go and just say... IT WAS A BIG DISSAPOINMENT!

I agree. The gameplay was VERY lackluster. Did anyone actually play all the way through? I played the first like hour on release day. Everlong did you get the latest drivers they released specifically for Farcry 2. They're beta so I dunno if you're comfortable installing them but I got about a 30% increase with them. Perhaps thats why you had to lower your graphics setting so much?
