Product Description
Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal", a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralise their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.
Features:
- DUNIA ENGINE The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montréal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more…
- REAL-TIME IMMERSION Real-time story telling, systemic auto-healing, minimal in-game interface are just few of the features that will make you feel the tension of being alone against barbarous warlords that threaten thousands of innocent lives.
- WEAPONS OF CHOICE Choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper. If you feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough, light up your flamethrower and let your enemies and everything around them feel the heat.

Just Wow!
Reviewed by Ross on October 31st, 2008
Well, after receiving it this morning and playing it for 6 hours now, I've decided it is one of the most enthralling Shooter's this year.
One thing you will immediately notice in the opening is that the graphics are stunning. If you have a full 1080p hi def TV you will see some of the most - if not the best fire effects, water effects, and some of the character and animal modeling is great, too.
You can tell that Ubisoft have put a lot of effort in, so far the story has been compelling, and almost every aspect is just top-notch.
I have found, however that the weapon aiming can be pretty difficult to immediately lock yourself onto an enemy, and this isn't necessarily a negative thing, since more and more games are incorporating the "auto lock on" thing which immediately targets your enemy. This simply adds to the scare when an enemy creeps up behind you.
This brings me to my next point, the AI (or, enemy intelligence), is superb. No matter what angle, slope, or whatever you are, the enemy will always manage to find you, which makes the entire game feel so much more 'alive'.
Another brilliant thing is the vehicles in the game. Since the game is a seemless free-roaming map, (instead of the 'stages' style you find in COD4, etc) there is a ton of driving in the game. Thankfully, the African dirt roads are beautiful, and, what is possibly THE BEST MAPPING SYSTEM I HAVE COME ACROSS IN A GAME, means that you absolutely always know where you are going.
Overall, the missions are varied, graphics beautiful, sound enchanting, and most importantly gameplay stunning, I have no choice but to say that I am enjoying this game even more than Fallout 3, Dead Space at the moment, lets hope that lasts!
10/10
