FarCry 2 is great and has superb graphics engine..
You meet buddies in the game who help you out in tough situations and I did not feel connected to any of them at all. The single player map design is superb and vast and beautiful to look at. This game looks extremely good and has the most believable jungle or desert designs in any game I have seen and it runs well too.
The gun play is very good in my opinion and things like repairing your weapons or getting new weapons because old ones jam make this a lot more fun. The character animation and tree movement plus environment is top notch. I love to see when the characters move. My verdict about this game is as follows
Gameplay: 7.5... It felt repetitive after a while
Graphics: 9.5... Awesome looking and even matches even some recent games
Character animation: 9.5
Environment: 9.0
Story: 7.5
Sound: 8.0
