Accessories: Related Items: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: Far Cry 2 by Ubisoft is the anticipated sequel to the award-winning original that brings players into the beautiful and hostile world of Africa. Far Cry 2 for Windows Vista/XP features open-ended gameplay that allows you to play the game whichever way you choose, with the choices you make affecting where the game leads you.
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.
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Far Cry 2 is Mostly DisappointingFar Cry 2 has its moments, but the redundancy and tiresome gameplay bring the game down to mediocrity. Pros: Open-ended environments; solid graphics; good sound field; plethora of objectives and missions. Cons: Some graphical glitches; very repetitive gameplay; no native widescreen support; weak characterization and story. This was one of my most anticipated FPS titles of 2008 and in some ways it lives up to it. In too many other ways, however, it falls ... Read More Rating:  - A Departure From Normal First Person ShootersFar Cry 2 isn't your normal first person shooter. The most thinking you have to do in most first person shooters is where to shoot, when to shoot, when to reload and when to hide... your path is pretty much set and your just along for the ride. Not the case with Far Cry 2. In this game you are dropped in a huge African world, given a map, and told to have fun. This means that the player actually has to plan a route to get to different places, whether it be by car, boat, or bus, and figure out how ...

Rating: - Awesome!I'll be honest. After two hours I was ready to give up on this game. Then it started to get better. Then is got really good, and I ended up playing for 3-4 hours at once. Warning though - this game is more like Grand Theft Africa than the original Far Cry. No linear story, just scattered missions. I'm glad I stuck with it because it was great! Here are some official ratings: IGN 8.9/10 Metacritic: 86/100 Gamespot 8.5/10 GameRadar ... Read More Rating: - Securom and Limit Installs Thru SteamThis is another game where the publisher has decided to treat its customers like pirates. I thought that if I bought the game through Steam I wouldn't have to deal with Securom, after all Steam has its own DRM system. The thing I like about Steam is that I don't need to have a CD in the drive and if I loose my data I can always download another copy of the game. Trade off - No resale value or second hand market. Now, WHY IS FARCRY2 BUNDLED WITH SECUROM AND 5 INSTALLS IF YOU BUY IT THRU ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
