Far Cry 2 brings you to Africa where you'll explore the savannah and the jungle.

Far Cry 2 features real-time night-and-day cycles. Outstanding Graphics
Ubisoft developed the Dunia Engine specifically for Far Cry 2. Among other things, the Dunia Engine delivers realistic, interactive environments, special effects, real-time night-and-day cycles, and smart enemy AI.

Expansive, Realistic Environment
Far Cry 2 is set in a fictional region of Africa where you are caught between two rival factions at war. The Ubisoft team spent a lot of time filming and photographing in Africa to get all the details of the landscape and native wildlife. The result is a huge gameplay area that is 50 square kilometers, taking players into and out of the jungle and savannah. Wild animals such as zebras, buffalo, gazelle are encountered during the game, with both players and enemies allowed to interact with them.

Far Cry 2 features an incredible level of detail and realism, with a minimal in-game interface to detract from immersion. For example, players will need to navigate the world using an in-game map and navigation system, weapons will disintegrate over time, and fires will spread and propagate.

Each of the actions a player takes is reflected in the environment and changes the content of the game. To fulfill your mission, you need to play the enemies against each other, using both strategy and skill.

Huge Range of Weapons and Vehicles
Far Cry 2 offers gamers a wide range of weapons, from a machete for hand-to-hand combat, to a sniper rifle that can stealthily pluck off enemies from afar. As weapons disintegrate over time, they might jam or even explode in your hand.

There are also a large range of vehicles such as gliders, trucks, cars, and boats that will let you fly, drive, slide, and hover over the open landscapes.

Multiplayer Options for up to 16 Players
Far Cry 2 supports up to 16 players and has four gameplay modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Diamond, and Uprising. Players can choose from six different classes in multiplayer, each with its own set of pros and cons. Just as in the single-player mode, multiplayer games will feature dynamic elements, making each session unique.

You can explore the world of Far Cry 2 from inside a car or flying on a glider.

What Customers Say About Far Cry 2:

Got this for my best friend, he played the hell out of it, short story short, the disk just stopped working and my friend was pissed. Great plot though and sandbox feature is fun.

Owned the game before lost it in the barracks. Glad to own it again. Game came with everything, can't stop playing it once again.

The designers went for the "Grand Theft Auto" type gameplay where you drive/walk around for various assignments from different people. This game is the equivalent of having you teeth pulled out by a pair of rusty, filthy pliers. It fails miserably, however, as 1) The vehicles are not fun to drive 2) You'll spent over 40% of the game staring at a map to find out where you're going, taking you out of the environment.I find it amazing that the company who made this game spent five years and a supposed ton of money doing it. It looks great, but the gameplay stinks. Here's why:1) "Super" enemies- silenced pistols, rifles, it doesn't matter - 5-10 enemies will come from nowhere to swarm you.2) Repetitive and dull. The design is incredibly stupid and not fun to play. They obviously spent the majority of time focusing on the presentation/graphics, or were too inept to create a fun game behind all the eye candy.Don't waste your money.

Day and night cycles. I just bought a 360 a bit back and had wished they had Crysis available on the console but no bother now. This is an incredible open world sand box game with top notch graphics. Weapons. Graphics etc.It reminds me alot of Crysis but more varied and graphics and much deeper gameplay.

There is nothing beyond that. I was so disappointed with this game. A FPS shooter in a giant, sandbox (free roaming) environment. over and over again. It's too bad that everything else is lacking. You can ride cars, buy tons of guns, and roam around all of Africa to your hearts desire.

If you set fire to the grass, it actually spreads and engulfs the area completely. =( The concept is good. The game becomes very monotonous and tedious very quickly.The good thing about this game are the amazing graphics and fire/environmental physics. The downside: that's all that you do. Every day of every second (in the game that is), you just constantly ride around and fight the same mobs at certain intersections or outposts. It's pretty neat to watch.

If you must try it, rent it or gamefly it.
