The GOOD: Superb effects, eg. when you throw a molotov cocktail in a grassy area the fire flares up and spreads realistically, AI is ok they give you a run for your money. Graphics are pretty good, they even optimised them so you can play on low end systems with good enough frame rate to view a smooth experience of the game. Heaps of weapons and upgrades to unlock, Vast Open map gives you thje impression you are in Africas with limitless locations to explore. You can Pull Bullets out of your leg and arms and heal your self with bandages and seringes.

The BAD: Yep there is plenty wrong with this game it is ultimately disappointing, it could have been a really awesome game but instead is rather boring and dull i have only played the game for 10 hours and it was a real struggle to continue, ok to start. Missions, oh my god the missions are really boring and annoying all you have to do is go to some place and either kill someone, rescue someone or blow something up ZzZzZZ... boring not to mention to go to the place where you kil, rescue or destroy you have to drive their, which at first seems great but it takes hours litrally to get there. like for example i had to go and kill this guy and so you go into town tp get the mission to kill him, then you have to drive god knows where to do it and all you have is this crappy map and GPS thing and even if you know where your going the actuall time it takes to get their is like 30 minutes to 1 hour, and thats being generous one time i was trying to find a weapons dump and it took me a good 2 hours (acctual time) to find it and then it took me 2 minutes to kill the baddies and blow up the ammunition, which then leads me to another grueling journey back to the dude who gave me the mission, then you do the exact same thing again. The vast land scape is both amazing and bloody annoying mabe next time they should add a small propellor plane to get to places quicker, also sometimes to get somewhere there is no clear way to get ther and you end up having to ditch your car and swimm accross a river to find that you have to walk another 200 Km which takes even longer then to drive.

Overall the game is good for the first hour untill you have to start travelling long distance which is like the second or third mission, i probably wont even bother completing the game saying this the gameplay and things you can do such as repair the car, heal your self, cause massive buchfires which burn you enemies to death not to mention driving which is pretty cool for an FPS but again it gets absalutly murdered by long travel times and repatitious missions
