   I waited until the 2.0 patch came our before buying this game, and upgraded the game before even playing it for the first time! Therefore I I waited until the 2.0 patch came our before buying this game, and upgraded the game before even playing it for the first time! Therefore I have seen no bugs. Driving the car is a little awkward, but then my skill is low (I remember my first couple of Morrowind fights with rats and mudcrabs!!!) Overall though, I am loving this game! I like the digitized speech vs the text you normally get in games like this. The graphics are brilliant (I don't compare, I always just look at the graphics and say "are they good enough". I think they're up to Morrowind standard which to me is still great!. My most memorable moment so far is the first time driving through the jungle at night, picking up a radio message broadcast and then driving through the middle of a Government/Mafia battle on either side of the road with one guy "rolling" out of the way of my car - just! And with tracer fire all over the place! I had to swerve around a burning car that I presume had been caught up in the firefight! The jungle is very unforgiving if you're on foot at night, with snakes and pumas that will kill you real easy at the start of the game (no Morrowind build up here!) I have got around 15 hours under my belt and have already had a dozen missions with another dozen in my notepad. I am only 2 steps closer to getting my Daughter, and I think there's probably 100 to go! About the bad drivers: With 2.0 patch they seem okay to me. Sometimes there are accidents, but that seems to happen to make the gameworld more real rather than bad AI (as in GTA III series) The theme tune is very catchy, the intro is cheesy, but so is the game - in a good way! I'll give it 9.0 with the 2.0 patch.… Expand

In its day this could be called very ambitious, even genius in some levels. Alas, it lends too much from its inspirations, such as Far Cry and GTA, and lacked the coat of polish it deserved. But for £3, I'm very satisfied.… Expand

   Do not buy this game unless you have a high-end machine - GEFORCE 6600GT MIN. I had really high expectations of this game only to install it Do not buy this game unless you have a high-end machine - GEFORCE 6600GT MIN. I had really high expectations of this game only to install it and find the game had really high expectations of my machine. I've only got 512MB RAM but have a decently overclockable Gainward Geforce FX 5900XT 128MB graphics card. And it took overclocking this to the max, running at 800x16 and closing every non-essential system tray app to get the game to run at all without shuddering to a halt every few steps. The game promises a lot and I thrill at the massive scope of the game but I invariably get half an hour into playing it before getting fed up with the dull graphics and jerky vehicle handling and go play Half Life 2 instead. If my mediocre machine can fling that game around how badly coded must this game be? I've considered forking out for 1GB RAM and a new graphics card just to see this game at it's best but I think I'll stick it on a shelf until my next essential upgrade when I can't play ANY of the current games.… Expand

   Et aussi une espèce d’histoire même si on s’en doute, ce n’est qu’un prétexte plus ou moins vaseux… Or ici l’espèce d’histoire (on se croirait dans une production Europacorp…) est vraiment très con et oblige à bavarder avec des persos très oubliables qui distribuent des missions à la con ; en vérité, rien que du très classique mais c’est tellement mal fait et mal présenté qu’on a juste envie de s’enfuir en courant.
   
   De toute façon, tout est mal fait et mal foutu dans ce jeu qui a eu les yeux plus gros que le ventre mais à dire vrai les premiers Far Cry n’étaient pas mieux lotis ; il a fallu attendre Far Cry 3 (et les suivants) pour qu’on ait enfin quelque chose de jouable, bien fait et bien pensé ! toujours est-il que la maniabilité, l’interface et la jouablité générale sont toutes nulles à chier ici !
   
   Se déplacer dans ce monde en outre pas très joli et très exigeant pour la machine, peu inspiré est aussi barbant qu’un épisode de Derrick et se faire boulotter de façon très inattendue par un tigre sorti d’on ne sait où en 3 secondes chrono, ce n’est pas très sérieux ! Malgré deux patches dont un gros second (192 mo !) le jeu reste lourdingue à souhait.
   
   Grand mais vide avec une IA aux fraises, des effets sonores étonnamment médiocres, un contrôle des véhicules épouvantable, une maladresse omniprésente dans tous les compartiments du « gameplay » (si on peut encore l’appeler comme ça) Boiling Point est décidément raté à tous les niveaux. A éviter et à oublier donc !… Expand
