Far Cry 3 vs Saints Row 2
Far Cry 3
Far Cry 3 is the third installment in the Far Cry franchise that's unsurprsingly set on another beautiful tropical island. However, in this game, you'll be battling warlords who own slave rings in an attempt to try to rescue your friends. You'll also meet some really odd and disturbed people along the way; people whose loyalty changes whenever it suits them.Being an open world game, you are given complete freedom when deciding on how to approach an objective. There are plenty of vehicles for you to use as well as tons of weapons that can be customized. Far Cry 3 also has a co-op aspect where you can play with up to 4 of your friends via campaign mode, or you can also play the multiplayer mode where team-play is highly emphasized. Best yet, the game even has a map editor, allowing players to create new content for other players to enjoy.
Featuring gorgeous graphics, a crazy yet engaging storyline as well as a fun and flexible gameplay, Far Cry 3 is an amazing sequel to the franchise. If you love Far Cry, you'll enjoy this version of it.
Saints Row 2
Saints Row 2 , released back in 2009, is gangster-themed open world game that is somewhat similar to what you'll expect in an old Grand Theft Auto game. The game was originally XBox exclusive and due to this, the game may feel a lot like a port... some may even say a poor port at that. However, the game itself is pretty fun to play. There are three main gangs or factions that you'll need to exert your dominance over so that your own gang, the Saints, can thrive. As expected of a gangster-themed game, there are plenty of pretty violent side-missions as well, most of which involve driving into pedestrians, destroying other people's properties, performing a drive-by, spraying excrement on big corporations, and well, wreaking as much havoc as you can in general. However, it's a point to note that the game doesn't have prostitutes that you can hire unlike in GTA, though there are some skimpily-dressed female AIs walking about.In this game, you'll also get to own multiple cribs scattered all around the city of Stilwater, each with their own set of upgrades and customization options. Similarly, your character can be customized down to the last detail too. The best part about this game is the wide variety of fun vehicles you can steal and collect in your garage. There are even helicopters, planes, boats and motorcycles that you can steal.
Despite its rather bad (by today's quality and standards) graphics, Saints Row 2 is a pretty huge game. Only the main missions will take you hours of gameplay, let alone the many side missions, the hours you put in to collect your fleet of cool cars, exploring the city's every nook and cranny, and even finding and getting the items you need to customize your character's looks. If you're into this sort of games, Saints Row 2 is definitely worth the price.
