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.

Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - AMAZING GAME
I can't believe that this game has gotten so many negative reviews here.This is an amazing game.Two things that I think account for the negative reviews (and you should be aware of these before purchasing it) are that it has DRM, but the DRM is not so bad because in Far Cry 2's case you can uninstall it and it gives you the install back.I really don't think this is a problem.The second negative thing, and this isn't even negative to a lot of people, is that it has nothing to do with the original ...

Rating:  - why so many bad reviews
I played this game a few weeks ago, then I looked at the reviews here and I am surprised at the bad response. (currently there are about 87 1 star)
The game has a lot of good points. There are flaws in the execution of the game, but for a rating, it must be compared to other recent games. It does not deserve a '1' star rating. I play a lot of PC games, I can say that while Far Cry 2 is not perfect, it is better than a lot of other games. It plays out something like the GTA series. The missions ... Read More
Rating:  - SecuROM - "We Kill The PC"
SecuROM - a sure, instant way of providing death to PC gaming as we know it.Sure, game companies would like to provide protection against software pirates, but let's make a couple of things clear:
1.Sorry, Ubi.If you think that pirates are not going to think their way around this one, think again.
2.SecuROM interferes with my burner.I do a LOT of home video creation with Sony Vegas Pro ($500+ software).Do you think that I'm going to WANT to install a $49 software package that's ... Read More
Rating: - Well, I Bloody Liked It!!!
Sadly I am too dumb to understand all the protection stuff, I bought this game because I loved FC 1 and this sounded interesting.
I am about half way through it and think that is sufficient to offer a view on if it is worth getting as it is a complex and surprisingly involving game.It is different from the original as it is a blend of FPS and role play set in a vast African landscape.You arrive to kill a gun dealer but things go wrong and you end up taking a variety of jobs to keep you in medicine ...

Rating: - Installs SecuROM on your computer
Getting SecuROM off your computer is a major pain as it creates registry keys with weird null characters in them, and files that can't be easily deleted. I had to find third party programs to get SecuROM off my computer. I will Google SecuROM and the name of any game I buy from now on to make sure the spyware that is SecuROM isn't on anything else I buy.
