Comment on Far Cry 2: Cry Some More by pinto4402

For a game that is 95% unscripted, it has produced the most “John Woo” moments of any video game I have ever played. Yesterday I was on a mission where I was attacked by an assualt truck. It was far down the road and I had my trusty sniper rifle, so I wasn’t overly concerned. I easily blew out the driver from his seat with a bullet through the windshield. When the pinto gunner foolishly dropped into the driver seat to take his place, I did the same thing to him. As the warm feeling of satisfaction embraced me, I heard the unnerving engine revving sound which signaled a vehicle attack. There was another assualt truck barrelling at me from another direction. The pinto gunner was pumping me with machine gun rounds. I managed to take him out with a round from my rifle. As I began set my sights on the driver (*O sh!T*) my magazine ran out of bullets. The reload animation felt like an eternity as the driver came straight at me full throttle. I began to feel panicked because one hit from the vehicle meant instant death. I managed to squeeze two rounds. One missed as he swerved. The second found its mark on the driver’s head. I exhaled deeply as the driverless truck with shot out windshields stopped several feet from my position. It was an action movie moment, and it happened it real time. No scripting. No predetermined routes. No rails. This is why I love this game so much. Every time I play, I am treated to at least one of these *O sh!T* moments that blows me away.

I came upon your review while looking for cover art of “100 Grim Reapers” to put into iTunes.

Apparently you can now purchase the album on LastFM:

You might be interested to hear that Ben and Bruno independently produced a couple of albums before this one. I highly recommend both, if you can get your hands on them.

I managed to find my favorite track on InternetArchive (“Firefly” this version has Breathe Owl Breathe singing backup)

Bleeding good! I thought about doing this, but I never got around to it. But I can support that terrible feeling of seeing all of your survivors slowly fall, one by one and then in groups.

Good show.

This review says it all, this is a whacked out puzzle game that doesn’t make you bored. And every now and then,there’s an explosion or something of the like that will make your jaw drop.
