DESCRIPTION
In the role of a mercenary, Far Cry 2 players find themselves in Africa. They are to bring down an arms dealer known only as "the Jackal," who has been thriving on tribal warfare. Suitably equipped but mostly alone, players are left to themselves to decide exactly what needs to be done and how to do it. Instead of a linear storyline or scripted quests, the game presents a framework of places and people who are designed to act according to their own natures, and react according to the way the player deals with them.
The game's heroes are a group of loosely associated "buddies." Players can choose to play as any one of the characters in this group, and the others will be placed in the game as friendly NPCs. Friends and enemies alike, all NPCs in the game are designed to act and react naturally in their current circumstances. Enemy guards tend to their duties and make decisions dynamically. Allies decide to become allies on their own terms. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“There's no doubt a lot of thought has gone into Far Cry 2 and no one can argue that the game looks superb. So why are there some amazing simple flaws with this game.
I too have found myself taking major detours on the map as I am fed up with a fire fight everytime you pass a checkpoint. If there wasn't any respawning you'd soon end up with an empty map so it's a necessary evil but perhaps certain areas could have been cleared once and for all.
The AI is pretty poor, using the beds to advance to night makes very little difference for a 'stealth' raid as the enemies always catch on to you. Combine that with enemies that will run right pass you and not fire a shot and you have to ask questions.
Finally this is the first game i've played where a headshot does not guarantee a kill. The amount of ammo needed to down some enemies is just insane and there seems to be very little difference where you shoot these guys. I thought Big Daddies were a pain in Bioshock but it's amazing what a cotton vest can deflect.
All that aside FarCry is a fantastic game and it's bugs shouldn't put you off. With any luck UBI will release an update to sort out some of the common complaints.”
