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 Xbox 360 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. 

 Far Cry 2 Players: Offline: 1 Online: 16 Multiplayer Modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Diamond, Uprising Format: Native 720p high-definition output. Far Cry 2 brings you to Africa where you’ll explore the savannah and the jungle. View larger. Far Cry 2 features real-time night-and-day cycles. View larger. 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.

Love the Far Cry 2 game, the graphics, technological realism, and its open space gaming. It’s innovative and fun. One of the few games that I actually want to finish (GTA4 is still at 28%).

Rating: - OBLIVION . . . WITH GUNS
For me, that sums up this Far Cry 2 game rather nicely. Both games have sprawling sandbox worlds, offer tons of hours of gameplay and feature great graphics.

You would think that all that would guarantee this to be a 5 star game, but alas, that is not the case. So on to the pros and cons . . .

PROS:

MOSTLY SOLID GAMEPLAY: Walking, running, shooting and operating vehicles is all very smooth and seamless. The controls are set up very well, as is.

LOTS OF GAMETIME: Like Oblivion and the original Farcry, you can spend countless hours roaming the world doing real missions, side missions, or just doing your own thing. A complex landscape guarantees that no two firefights will be the same.

NICE WEAPON VARIETY: You get several types of handguns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, rocket/grenade launchers and other explosives. Personally, I found the Sniper Rifle (primary), Mac-10 or Uzi (secondary) and RPG (special) combination to work really well.

JAMMING WEAPONS: Finally! A game that actually adds the realism of jamming weapons. To make it more realistic, the weapons of your enemies are more prone to jam compared to your freshly-purchased weapons at the store.

GRAPHICS: The least important to me, and although I’ve never been there, it definitely looks like Africa. This game does for fire what Bioshock did for water. And some of the sunsets are truly breathtaking.

CONS:

GLITCHY SAVE SYSTEM: I often noticed that sometimes I wouldn’t start off where I last saved. Sometimes one or two saves back, even. Fortunately I kept 3 saves on file in case something like this happened so I could roll forward to the correct one.

TEDIOUS GAMEPLAY: This game is very nonlinear, meaning you can approach your target from different directions or even take alternative missions, but in the end, you’ll find yourself having to take out at least one or two guard posts along the way. The times you bypass the guardposts you’ll more than like run across a gun truck/boat.

MALARIA: Like Oblivion had the Vampire sickness, Farcry2 has Malaria. The difference is that while Oblivion’s Vampire sickness was conditional (you only got it if you got bitten), in Farcry2 you START the game with Malaria. So what does the Malaria do? It makes the scene go blurry, but if it happens X amount of times, it ultimately warps you back to the doctor who tells you that you need to get medicine. Unfortunately, sometimes these Underground shacks with Malaria medication are far away, meaning that you might get sick once or twice along the way, which then automatically transports you back to the doctor if you don’t get to your destination in time.
If you do get the Malaria medication, it’s only a few pills and doesn’t last very long. Also, there is no counter to tell you how many pills you have in stock. Sometimes when you rattle your prescription bottle it might sound like you have 3-5 pills in there when you really only have 1.

BUGS: This following bug prevented me from beating the game (I was at 62% completion). I had to get some more Malaria medication. Sounds easy enough. But every time I went to this shack I killed all the enemies . . . yet the door wouldn’t open–an indication that there was still an enemy out there that I had to kill to trigger the script to open the door. I thoroughly decimated this little shack and the surrounding area, making double and triple sure that my enemies were dead, yet the game still bugged out, telling me that there was at least one more bad guy out there which is why the door wouldn’t open.
So I figured I’d just try and finish the game without the Malaria medication. No can do. After two or three instances of sickness, you get automatically sent back to the hospital. Not enough time to finish some missions.

OVERALL: If it weren’t for some of these bugs, this would easily be a 4 star game. But as it is, I was unable to complete it. So my rating stands at 3.5 stars. Hope you fair better in the wilderness of Africa than I did.

My secretary’s 10 year old son loves the game. It was his birthday present and it arrived in a timely fashion. Everything was as discribed and your service was first rate. Thank You.

Rating: - One of the best games ever!
This is one of the best games ever made, the story mode is complex, very real, challenging and it’s not easy! great graphics, great engine, great game!!

the multiplayer mode is even better, several game modes, the gameplay is just fantastic! and you can make custom maps! the map editor is amazing! you can make from giant ships to piramids, its amazing!!

Rating: - One of the best shooters out there
In 13+ years as a hardcore gamer, this is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Another high quality shooter from Ubisoft. The action is very intense, with smart AI opponents flanking you, sneaking up on you from behind, and surprising you. The free-roaming aspect allows you to pick and choose from a large variety of activities to suit whatever whim you have at the moment (or, you can explore the huge map). The exotic location is a refreshing change from the norm. And the map editor for online multiplayer is incredible and the most detailed I have ever seen on a game. You could spend hours just having fun building your own map. This game is an absolute must for any Xbox360 owner with even a remote interest in shooters.
