First of, I'm South African and i speak Afrikaans. Not the biggest and well known language in the world but hey, so you can imagine me playing for half an hour and after my first encounter with the local rebels i hear the "bad guys" screaming in Afrikaans at me... instant classic in my books!

(if you want any of the quotes translated, I'm your guy. hehe)

Okay back to the game.

Most reviewers who gave a bad score moans about the distance you should travel for a some mission... as in real life, that's why there are bus stations, plus there are random cars standing around in the game. just make sure if you pick a car that it has a gun strapped to it, comes in useful if you approach a road block or camp.

Graphics in the game is some of the best Ive seen. Living in Africa you have a rough idea how the environment looks like... the game matches it in every way. its brilliant. you cant find anything wrong with the graphics, from weapons to buildings, everything is just right.

As someone that is not the biggest FPS fan i really paid attention to the game play. Its understandable that you can't run forever especially when you have malaria, but it gets annoying if you run out of stamina after a short distance of running.

Shooting people is also a bit weird, no physical damage occurs to the recipient of your bullets, its just blood splatter and that's it... it would be nice if you can blow someones arm off or something to that affect.

although driving gets you around it doesn't feel as real as the rest of the game. weapons are also a bit weird, i had an old sniper rifle that i used, one shot and the person is dead, when i bought a bigger and 'better' sniper rifle it took like three shots to kill someone... it doesn't make sense.

the storyline is okay and believable, if you look at the current state in which central Africa is at the moment. The voice acting could have been a touch better and some of the characters feel a bit shallow.

Overall I will give it the thumbs up and surely a game to have in your collection.
