That is true. Supposed to be less req than Crysis, so if your rig ran Crysis, Far Cry 2 should be no problem. You have to remember they designed it with consoles in mind so they won't up the graphics into something killer for a system.

If you analyze XBox 360 titles vs its PC counterparts for example, the XBox will have terrible resolution to distant objects, especially characters. PC's have no such limitation. This is why I hate console ports - they dumb down the graphics.

So if a proggy is designed with consoles in mind from the start, then you will get a decent running PC version on lesser hardware.

PS. An example of what I'm talking about:

Crytek has confirmed that a 360 version of Crysis is in development. It should be noted, however, that the game will not be a port of the PC version, but rather an entirely new game built from the ground up. The reasoning for this decision, according to the devs, is that the PC game simply couldn't run on an Xbox 360. Given that the title uses many of the advanced features of DirectX 10 (the 360 uses DirectX 9), this isn't too surprising -- although the explanation contradicts earlier statements from the developers. The game will reportedly share many elements with its PC counterpart, but contain entirely different graphics and gameplay.
