Far Cry 2 vs Rage 2
Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 sets you in the role of a mercenary who somehow found himself trapped between a 2-sided conflict while being stricken with malaria. You'll need to do whatever it takes to survive and complete your primary mission. Similar to the original, the game provides players with a beautiful open world to roam and explore as well as over 70 different side-missions to complete. This time around though, players can have even more fun with fire as the game mechanics will allow you to burn forests to cut off your enemies' escape. The environment in this game is destructible as well.Far Cry 2 also has a unique AI system that will build on the kills you've made and the reputation you've amassed among your enemies, resulting in unpredictable enemy reactions - they might simply drop their guns and run at the mere sight of you or they will immediately call for reinforcements. This freshens up the game significantly, giving you a different experience with every encounter. For players who want to play this game with friends, you can do so too, but be warned! Your friends can betray you as fast as they can decide to side with you, so you must always keep an eye on them, lest you get jumped.
This game is a brilliant sequel to the first Far Cry and surprisingly made quite a leap in terms of the realism of its gameplay. Some even dubbed this game as being the best Far Cry game ever, but well, you can give the game a try and we'll let you be the judge.
Rage 2
Rage 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to what seems to be an underrated, post-apocalyptic-themed action-shooter game. The original Rage was hailed as the ultimate combination of the dystopian world of Fallout, epic vehicular combat, a gameplay that mimics the intensity of Just Cause, and the sort of insanity which can only be characterized as Borderlands-like, and this sequel promises to deliver on all of that and more!Playing as the hero, Walker, you set off across the sun-scorched wastelands in pursuit of the nefarious Authority, but the place is massive and you'll need all the help you can get to navigate the world. This time around, you'll not only be able to drive monstrous battle vehicles; you can even take to the air in gyrocopters. Basically, if you see a vehicle, chances are you'll be able to drive or pilot it - it's that's simple.
The range of enemies (of various factions) that you'll encounter is pretty varied as well, with each featuring its own lineup of crazies, mutants and even monters. The same goes for the arsenal of futuristic weapons that you'll be able to collect and use to dish out a circus of carnage.
Rage is is currently available for pre-oreders on Bethesda's website. If you do order now, you can get an exclusive Cult of the Death God mission, which has a nice bit about the hero of the first Rage game and a chance to receive Raine’s legendary armor, the fan-favorite Settler Pistol and the new Mutant Monster Truck... if you managed to get through the hordes of mutants that is.
