Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk:Exploring 20 square miles of African savannah and jungle is never an easy task. But when you’re up against an army of highly trained mercenaries, the danger becomes unimaginable. Welcome to the world of Far Cry 2.  Far Cry 2 has some of the best explosions in the business |  Vehicles are great for cover as well as transport |  It’s best to keep some of the game’s factions on your side |  The environmental graphics are both stunning and highly varied | It’s been over four years since the release of the first Far Cry, and Far Cry 2 has almost nothing in common with it beyond being a first-person shooter with excellent graphics and advanced artificial intelligence. It’s by a different developer, and you now play one of eight different mercenary characters out to catch an arms dealer nicknamed “The Jackal.” The sci-fi enemies have also been jettisoned in favour of a much more realistic game where survival skills are just as important as a good aim. The rules of engagement--either by stealth or all guns blazing--are entirely up to you. Key Features - Virtual safari: The game features 20 square miles of terrain for you to travel, filled with realistic fauna and flora and fully destructible trees and buildings.
- Fiery realism: With an all-new graphics engine created just for the game, fire moves and propagates exactly as in real-life, with vegetation breaking and snapping realistically.
- The coming storm: A dynamic weather system changes to reflect your mood, with the sky turning dark and stormy during bad times.
- Jungle survival: Highly realistic weapons degrade with use, bullets need to be dug out of your body, and vehicles break down if pushed beyond their limits.
- Buying friends: Meet and co-operate with fellow mercenaries as you pit different factions against one another in a war-torn African state.
About the Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Ubisoft’s huge development studio in Canada has created many of the French publisher’s biggest hits, including the Splinter Cell,/i> series, the modern Prince of Persia games, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Assassin’s Creed, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja and the Far Cry sequels and spin-offs.

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 ... Read More

There's a pretty good reason for this. Amazon ships literally thousands of these games, so an extreme negative reaction on the review pages to the game's restrictive DRM is a necessary and deliberate way for consumers (that's US) to register their objections to any attempt to limit the installation of a fully-paid, properly licensed copy of the game. You wouldn't buy an CD or DVD that restricted the amount of times you could watch or listen to, would you?
Many of us will change PC's, re ... Read More

Even though I saw all the bad reviews about the activation and copy protection, I still bought it. I immediately ran into my 1st problem after succesfully activating it, the game would not load and run. So sent a analysis report Securom (to those idiots who created the DRM protection software). Next day they sent me a link to a new .exe file to download and install, so that wasted the 1st day.
I then wasted the second day playing the game, it is slow, the action us far from exiting, the missions ... Read More

....A huge build up and then, after the bang, wondering what all the fuss was about.
Not being bothered by the controversy surrounding the security software with this and other titles, I have been looking forward to this since the announcement of its development. Unfortunately, while the gameplay is fluid and impressive, the subject matter is flat, dull and vacuous with very little imagination going into the storyline and missions. In fact, the missions are more along the lines of repetitive ... Read More

Got this game on the strength of the magazine reviews. Don't know what they were on. After about a couple of hours play I got really frustrated and then bored. A lot of driving about and getting shot at by the same camps that you thought you had cleared out a while back. Now I know why they didn't release a demo. I usually download demos before I buy as I don't really trust magazine reviews but it looked and sounded so good I fell for the hype. Grand Theift Auto with guns. Another game I wasn't so fond ...
