Far Cry 1 vs Just Cause 2
Far Cry 1
Far Cry 1 is the first game of a pretty popular open world action-adventure game. Assuming the role of Jack Carver, a freelance mariner, you find yourself being hunted by the militia on a beautiful tropical paradise of an island. However, things aren't as they seem and soon after, you will have to decide to take out the militia group and its leader yourself or condemn the world to the maniac's nefarious plans.The gameplay - or should we say gunplay - in Far Cry is simply incredible. Being the hero of the game, you'll have access to a ton of tactical tools, such as motion-sensing binoculars, that will come in handy when taking on larger groups of enemies. You can even engage the enemy stealthily or simply ram down the front gate with an armored vehicle and start mowing your enemies down... how you choose to approach your target is entirely up to you! Of course, let's not forget about the large variety of weapons and vehicles that you can use. The cunning AI system that will also force you to constantly up your game as the enemies find weaknesses in your strategy and exploit it in the next encounter.
Not to mention, the game has impressive graphics for a game of its time and the game environment feels so realistic, especially with the gorgeous setting and the amazing shadow and weather effects. If you love open world shooters, you'll enjoy Far Cry... this we can assure you!
Just Cause 2
Just Cause 2 is the explosive sequel to the popular and incredibly cinematic "destruction galore", third-person action adventure game, Just Cause. Offering players a whole new map (another tropical island called Panau) to explore in the game's wide variety of land, sea, and sky vehicles along with Rico's wingsuit, you can now perform stunts like never before since the game now allows you to free fall, base jump, vehicle surf, skydive, para sail, slingshot, and more. You can also dual wield your grappling hook in Just Cause 2, allowing epic scenes of you dangling in between two helicopters possible. You can even have fun racing on the many circuits on the island.Unlike the previous game, the physics in this one is a lot more realistic as well, lending the game a deeper form of immersion it needs to distance itself from the dark trench that's called "arcade-like". There are plenty of missions (of all lengths) for you to complete too!
As you might have also gleaned so far, the game retains its over-the-top animations, so if you fancy yourself an action film actor, this game series is the closest you can get to actually being one. So, looking to destroy some stuff and walk away backed with a glorious fiery explosion? You can experience all of that and more in Just Cause 2 (or any of the more recent Just Cause games).
