This game is not overrated, check out the reviews on GOG or Steam...

Just go on ModDb and look for Dylan's Far Cry 2 Realism Mod.
Removes all the heartache.
'his mod fixes what Ubisoft left unfixed. Dylan's Realism Mod changes Far Cry 2 from an Africa-based sedan and pickup truck simulator into a (semi accurate)
African conflict simulator. Realistic weapon damage, recoil, realistic ammo loads and weapon reliability have been added, along with a more effective stealth suit, and revamped AI weapons. (No more SPAS12s and AR15s for militiamen). Checkpoint AI has been tweaked as well. Checkpoint guards now have a 60% chance to chase you after passing through, as opposed to 90%-100% in vanilla. Militiamen also communicate more frequently in combat, and use suppressing fire more often. However, you are now as vulnerable as the AI. A single burst of rifle fire can kill you, so you are probably going to need that extra ammo and stealth suit. '

Stealth suit?! Was there something like that in the standard game as well?

By far the best and most immersive Far Cry expirience i ever had was with this game.Then it started getting dumbed down for the masses sadly.Graphics,sound and physics is still unsurpassed to this day.Lighting a fire just before a rainstorm and the wind blowing it towards a guard post is just jawdropping.The respawning enemies are a bit annoying but nothing serious like some users above stated.Cheers

I always find it hilarious that people claim Far Cry 2 is some kind of super difficult, hardcore experience when it's hilariously easy in comparison to Far Cry 1. Now *that's* a game that will kick your ass and laugh at your broken corpse.
Far Cry 2 isn't a game that's difficult. It's not hardcore. The enemies I deal with are the lowest tier, easy enemies in Far Cry 1. There are no Trigen, no helicopters, no heavily armored mercs that can take multiple shotgun rounds to the face, so the game never ramps up its opposition enough to truly feel overwhelming and require a ton of planning to overcome. You die quicker in Far Cry 1 as well, and health and armor pickups are actually quite rare. The respawning checkpoints are a nuisance, not some great threat that makes it feel like an accomplishment to survive. In fact, dealing with the checkpoints becomes easier as you get better gear and upgrade your safehouse. The only difficult thing about Far Cry 2 is mustering the patience to deal with all the busywork it forces you to do, like endless driving, fighting the same enemies you've killed 100 times before, replacing your guns, getting new pills, all so you can play gameplay that's just a lesser Far Cry 1 with most of its depth removed.
EDIT: Also, any of the immersion and world detail stuff are all deeply unimpressive when Crysis came out the year before and still blows it out of the water, plus because Far Cry 2 was designed with consoles in mind, the resources devoted to adding all these little details is also what makes Far Cry 2 feel so empty and repetitive.

'do some research and you'll find this game has tons of criticisms'
or you could do some research and find tons of articles by serious gamers that consider fc2 the best game in the series. especially on infamous difficulty.

Another thing about Farcry 2 that many seem to have missed: The horrible art direction.
I never seen a video game abuse the color brown more than this, in some scenes is like the entire game was made out of mud.
