I would suggest avoiding Far Cry 2 since the game has a major issue with the game mechanics which was called "broken and game ending" by someone. Sure the game visually looks good and the concept of a sandbox fps game in the African jungle sounds cool but poor A.I and a game that in a way forces you to play one way hence completely contradicting the whole point of the game being a sandbox title makes Far Cry 2 a pass.

Well let me back up my statement, the following info was taken off GAF.
There is a certain person on the IGN boards with verified industry contacts - he knows a few developers and has provided accurate behind-the-scenes information before. He has VIP status, which requires absolute proof of being in the industry, so this isn't some unreliable guy bull****ing for nothing. Anyway, here's what he recently posted about Far Cry 2:
"I can't wait until people/journalists discover the end-game problem this game has.... As psyched as I am for it, a game breaking design choice has existed since the beginning of the game's development, and persists to this day according to my sources. "
"I really can't go deeply into it... but there is a certain resource you NEED to survive in this game that eventually becomes denied to you if you piss off all the factions that can provide it. Later in the game, there are parts where this resource is simply unattainable... and it can all but break your game if you don't proceed very quickly. "
And in response to someone saying "if you play the game stupid, it's your fault!", he said this:
"Without delving in spoilers for an unreleased game... lets just say your logic falls apart when the lead designer says, "**** You" and forces you down a path where your choices meant nothing and you're forced to do things in a way which will damage your fun with the game. "
