CVG Previews Far Cry 2 - They Like It

[CSN NewsBot]

CVG wrestled up some hands-on time with Far Cry 2. Their verdict? Their closing line states that "this one's got its sights set on becoming the shooter of the year for sure." Impressive!

The developer claims our hands-on session with the Xbox 360 version had us see "less than half a percent" of what Far Cry 2's virtual Savannah has to offer. Usually we could give a monkey's about the size of a virtual playfield, but Far Cry's not about empty streets and how many different districts you can cram onto an island.



Those empty, open fields aren't a waste of space, but a playground to plan your enemy assault from every angle. A sandbox to set a car on fire, roll it right into the enemy encampment and then follow it up Rambo-style with a sub-machine gun and a Molotov cocktail. It's an FPS playground... except they've gone and turned half of it into an RPG.

Just what does CVG mean by that "RPG" comment? You'll just have to read their preview to find out.

Now this is just mocking.

That sucks, time for an upgrade maybe? I know I'm due again for an upgrade before Far Cry 2 comes out .
