Ready for some safari?
After booting the game the first thing that you will notice is that this game is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. I don’t know how Ubisoft was able to pull this off on the Xbox, but this is the closest to Crysis on a console that you will currently get. The way Ubisoft was able to cramp so much vegetation at once with almost no slow downs, it’s very impressive.
As the first games made by Crytek, every mission can be done in multiple ways which makes the whole experience very open, but on this sequel, I felt more freedom on how to play the game. Missions are varied and can be done on whatever order you want. Sometimes I just fel like I was playing Oblivion with guns (wait, that is what Fallout is supposed to be). As in Oblivion you can travel anywhere and suprisingly for a shooter, there is a lot of interaction with non-playable characters. Also the nice touch of having “friends” was cool (specially when thay rescue you out of a sure death in a gun battle).
The game is not perfect, some side missions are very repetitive and there is a lot of backtracking, but everything else is pure genius. I just hope people get notice of this game with all the jungle of games released on this holiday season. “Jungle”, did you get it? I am so good at this!
Score:
