The Bottom Line:

"Mixed reactions"

At the news of the second Far Cry game, Only positive reactions could describe one's thoughts, But it seems many multiplayer modes are absent in the final game, What happened??
Firstly, The single player has been done perfectly; Combat, Vehicles and weapons are fine, The only thing you might hate is the long journeys to the different locations in the map but they have taken care of that with an alternate route via bus that can save loads of time and worry. The new Buddy system works well in the game and greatly helps to your advantage to stop the two fractions in their tracks.
The storyline is set in an imminent war in Africa where you have been sent into the country to kill a weapons dealer who has been helping both sides in this war. As soon as you are driven in, It all hits the fan; Just like Jack Carver! Now you are on the run and seeking the help of both sides to help you track down 'The Jackal' in exchange of blood from the other fraction. The story expands from there as you continue in your hunt for 'The Jackal'
The Map maker has managed to accomplish the impossible; It has somehow been improved! After Far cry's by far the best map editor anything has seen, This one contains pretty much EVERYTHING! Except for weapons....That have been replaced by Ammo crates and sandbags.....
The multiplayer is to me the main flaw of the game; A limited amount of modes and a Star Wars Battlefront feel that shouldnt be there in team games limit what weapons you can use and cancel the idea of a custom character.

Overall, Far Cry 2 is both an improvement and a disappointment but overall a positive look back.
