October 12, 2008 · Filed Under Main Page 

As Far Cry 2 release approaches more and more websites are putting up previews and first impressions about the game. Several new ones have come out and will be shown in this brief overview.

Eurogamer is quite happy with the multiplayer component of Far Cry 2:
“We’re sure that it’s the single-player game that most gamers are waiting for, but it’s still good to know that there’s a hefty set of deathmatch options to back it up. On the basis of what we’ve played, we reckon this could garner quite a sizeable online following – a following that will certainly include us.”

The official Xbox360 magazine lets us know that in their upcoming magazine there will be an extensive review on Far Cry 2. They reveal that Far Cry 2 is very good according to them and they even let us know it hits 9/10 in their verdict:
Far Cry 2 is this year’s equivalent of Assassin’s Creed… when it comes to enveloping the player in exotic sights and sounds, Ubisoft has absolutely nailed it,” says our reviewer Ben Talbot, explaining why Far Cry 2 could be this year’s big hit like Ubisoft’s acrobatic Assassin’s Creed was in 2007. “What separates Far Cry 2 from other shooters of this ilk is that there really aren’t any rules to follow.”

News for Gamers reports that the first previews out in magazines on Far Cry 2 are glowing: 94%, 9/10 and 9/10. PC Gamers gave the game 94% saying:
“The basis of Far Cry 2’s story telling: Characters and situations are swapped via a software author, its responding to choices made by you the player. Its something that’s been on the cards for some time – mostly in research projects – but this is the first high-profile game to use it.
Its nothing less than a revelation.”

Next to the OXM review reported on above the official PS3 magazine rates it 9/10 as well:
“Whatever happens you’ll believe it’s a real world and a fantastic setting for the action.”
