Story does very little with politicallycharged setting, Traveling for long stretches can become tedious.
Although you cant say the same for the plot, Far Cry 2s first-person action squeezes every last drop of potential out of the unique African setting. ...

Lush, beautiful environments; sense of total immersion; terrific action when carrying out missions
Extremely repetitive map encounters; slow pace with long travel times; character motivations are an enigma
Joseph Conrads 1902 novella Heart of Darkness explored a brilliant mans descent into savagery in the heart of the African jungle. Theres no question that Ubisofts Far Cry 2 takes these same themes and presents them in a modern context (theres even...
Abstract: From cooking to movies, fusion is a time-honored method of making something new out of pre-existing components. The current generation of games show this in spades, but Far Cry 2 combines two genres that haven’t spent too much time together before. Th...

This is a game for shooter fans that have been waiting for the genre to be dialled up to the next level. Its detailed presentation, feature-rich gameplay, and palpable sense of placing players in another world yield a bar-raising effort. ...
Superb graphics. Massive open world. Freedom to complete missions as you see fit. A range of vehicles. Day and night cycle and dynamic weather. Impressive animations when healing and interacting with the environment. Full map editor in multiplayer!
Much of your time is spent travelling from point to point. The respawn rate of enemy checkpoints is a bit out. AI sometimes too eagle-eyed, making stealth difficult unless under the cover of darkness.
Abstract: Making an open-ended game with an expansive playing area can’t be easy. It’d be so much easier to make things linear, to guide the player every step of the way. So it’s always impressive when a developer pulls off a sandbox title that remains entertain...
Abstract: Ubisoft tager formularen ind i helt nyt territorium med vilde dyr, realisme, illegal forretning om diamanter og guerilla-krige. Du er sat ind i Afrika med malaria i blodet og målet om at stoppe en ukendt sjakal.I modsætning til sin forgænger er du her ...
