A lot of people dogged on Far Cry and Crysis so much I was scared to play them.. but I did and I enjoyed the game experience. I am sure Far Cry 2 will be similar.

There was something so unsatisfying about clearing out a checkpoint to get to an objective, then 5 minutes later after your objective is complete, you're driving through the same checkpoint and it's completely re-stocked with enemies. The game just doesn't give you any sort of feeling of accomplishment whatsoever and that's its biggest downfall.
