The gameplay WAS pretty bad, but I have to disagree with the graphics being worse than COD. I think they are pretty close, considering they were going for different environmental feels. It was WAY too linear and the vehicle dynamics suck. (The buggy slides the same way your teammate does)
The inventory was too cumbersome to manipulate in battle. And how bout that sniper that can shoot through almost anything and hit you. The replay value is ALMOST nonexistent.
overall =
I, too, hope FAR CRY delivers
