Far Cry 2 on 360

Far Cry 2 Screen Shots

Far Cry 2 is a Shooting game available on the 360.

Far Cry 2 is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

Although this at first glance appears to be yet another addition to what seems to have been the year of the sequel, Far Cry 2 actually has absolutely nothing to do with the original Far Cry from 2004.

Instead the game takes place in an unnamed African nation which has descended into anarchy as the result of an arms dealer called ‘The Jackal' and its your job to track him down and kill him. Overtones of Apocalypse Now are further enhanced as the shadowy Jackal makes various appearances throughout the game - with his first being to actually save your skin shortly after your arrival.

Far Cry 2 is a follow up to the ground breaking first game made famous for its jungle habitat and map making capabilities. Like its predecessor, Far Cry 2 succeeds because of its ability to create a sense of place. Much of the action has been seen before - but rarely with so much care and appreciation to the locale in which you play.
