Far Cry 2 brings you to Africa where you'll explore the savannah and the jungle. View larger. | 
Features real-time night-and-day cycles and smart enemy AI. 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. | System Requirements | | | Minimum | Recommended | | Operating System | Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or Windows Vista | | CPU | Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz, Intel Pentium D 2.66 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or better | Intel Core 2 Duo Family, AMD 64 X2 5200+, AMD Phenom or better | | Memory | 1 GB | 2 GB | | Hard Drive Space | 12 GB of free space | | Graphics Hardware | NVidia 6800 or ATI X1650 or better; must support Pixel Shader 3.0 | Nidia 8600 GTS or better, ATI X1900 or better |

Hours of "fun" January 9, 2009 Kristina Hoeflinger (USA) This game has provided hours and hours of entertainment for my father. He is a retired military officer and plays it often. The price can't be beat.
Better then expected! January 8, 2009 Herbert Freeman (Ilion, NY USA) Far Cry 2 ...way better gaming expirience than expected. This is the first game that has "free roaming" down to a science! You are not bound by any rails or rail like missions, excellent!
The graphics are superb and rival those of Crysis, but without the drag on your PC's resources.
Initially the learning curve to figure out how to approach and obtain missions was a bit difficult, but after a few minutes with the game, became second nature.
Replay value is equally high. Overall a rewarding expirience for the casual and hard core gamer alike!
Well done. Worth every dollar!
The well hyped DRM/securom did not bother this reviewer a bit and remained well in the background without causing any problems.
