As you begin your first seconds in Africa it is clear that you are in for a treat. Upon viewing the stunning visuals in your preliminary jeep ride, you can get a sense of what is to come. The game begins with you suddenly ill with malaria and waking up in a shanty hotel. A mysterious figure is talking to you, all the while outside a battle rages on. Welcome to Far Cry 2. Escaping the hotel will be your first task and after you have one goal, do what you need to do to find the Jackal. The arms dealer responsible for the war. The game allows you to complete missions and objectives in any way you see fit. Whether it be by blowing everything up in sight with your RPG, or waiting until cover of night to quietly slip in and dispatch your enemies. Far Cry lets you complete it at your own pace. The single player portion will take up most of your time at first, but there is also a very good multiplayer component, and lets not forget about the amazing map creator. Gameplay is good, and little weird at first, but you will catch up. Visuals are amazing, one of the best I have seen since Bioshock. Sound is fantastic, from the explosion of a car to the sporadic sounds of AK fire, it delivers. Playing Again, you will be spending a good amount of time trying to find the Jackal, also you might wonder where a few days went trying to get that last map of yours just perfect. Overall Far Cry 2 is and excellent game that will enjoy years of appeal.
