Had potential but had too many flaws

This was set to be a good game. Set in war torn Africa, you must pick a character and hunt down a man called the jackel, who sells weapons to factions so they can start a war. You must work for the two factions and do what they want so they can give you intel on your target. On occasion, you will have to help out the underground, who are just peole hiding from the two factions, and and they will give you medicine in return. the medicine is for the malaria. Every now and again, you will start having symptons and you must pop a pill before it gets worse. Your buddies will give you the opportunity to change the mission around a bit. Weapons and upgrades are bought in diamonds. You must also search around for jackel tapes, which are recordings of an interview, and give to a reporter. This was destined to be a good game, but sadly, there were too many flaws.

In some cases, people had claimed that their save was getting corrupt and they had to start again. Ubisoft made a patch that solved this problem. Another flaw is the jackel tapes. There are eight in the north and six in the south. The ninth jackal tape starts talking about a kid stealing boots. Once this tape has been collected, all the others will be the same. When you turn the tapes into the reporter, ten and up will not be counted. This may be a problem for trophy hunters. I got this trophy this morning. What I did was I delivered the eight from the north to the reporter in one go. When I reached the south, I only handed seven in at once, I didn't realise I missed one. So I handed that to him and I got the trophy. I don't know wether this will happen to everyone or wether it was pure luck. Other people experienced their completion being stuck at 27%. This has not happened to me so I don't know how to fix it.

The multiplayer is pretty good. I haven't played it but from what I know, you can make your ouwn multiplayer maps and the can be used across all game modes. That is all I know about the multiplayer.

Overall, this game is useless. If you want to go out and buy it, don't. Save your money and get something else. If you really want it, go for. But don't say I didn't warn you.
