It's quite frankly a great game; with some equally great issues that aren't bothering me much now, but could in the future.
Issues are:
- some consolitis (no fire mode switch, no leaning or prone)
- quite frequent respawning, meaning it can be a hassle to go from location to location (but also can be an adventure; I was bushwacked last night, and while running for my life found a case of diamonds in a burnt-out van)
Actually I guess that's about it for me. Otherwise, I'm finding it quite immersive, with some absoluterly fantastic animation features (pulling bullets out of yourself when healing, resetting your own broken arm, ammo crates that 'brew up' and spit bullets all over the place, jamming weapons, misfiring RPGs).
There's been a lot of bellyaching about graphics, which I'm at a loss to understand. I think the problem is it's being compared to Crysis, however I'd say it scales far better than Crysis does. For example, while Ultra High in Crysis will kill FC 2 in looks, Medium or high in FC 2 looks significantly better to me, probably because you can apply some AA (real AA, not Edge AA) without killing performance. FC 2 also runs a helluvalot better. In short: Guys, don't trust the negative feedback about graphics, they are truly stunning.
