I just bought this game on a whim today because I needed my shooter fix. I'm generally finding it pretty fun, the graphics are definitely a mixture of good and bad.
the good: the draw distance, bloom effects, minimalistic shadowing which actually looks pretty good, lush vegetation, steady frame rate.
The bad: the water effects are bland with little to no reflection, I've seen amazing water in all of the far cry games so I was surprised they didn't bump that up a notch, there is quite a bit of popup, and character models are a little dull. The games got a few graphical bugs here and there as well i'd like to point out, there were a few trees that I was able to clip through. and the water seems to shimmer ALOT when viewing it from a distance, I think i even noticed the skybox texture repeating itself on more than one occasion.
The AI is as good as the original far cry in my opinion. The motion movements are finicky at times as well and you really need to get used to them, the aiming is really good and I have had no problems there, you can hold A to stop from turning and push the controller forward to zoom in, it works out well when you get used to the motions. I also had to turn the sensitivity way up for the turning speed, the default is SO slow.
The multiplayer is barebones deathmatch and 'predator' mod, and only 2 players.
