There are some aspects to Farcry 2 that i actually like more than 3.

The gameplay of Farcry 2 is pretty much standard like an FPS would be albeit with some addons and differences. You are able to use a primary, a secondary, and melee weapon along with a special weapon including grenades and molotovs. It is a big open world and your main means of travel is by various types of vehicles. To add a bit of realism, guns will jam and explode after awhile of prolonged use.

Unlike its predecessor you can have buddies that protect you and help you on missions. You can pick which character you want to be, though it doesnt really change the outcome. Also unlike its predecessor the setting is completely different as it takes place in Africa and not on tropical islands out on the pacific ocean. While alot of people showed disdain for this setting change, i actually liked the setting and enviroment.

The story of Farcry 2 is gathered via information when you accept missions or when you find cassette tapes left behind by the games main Antagonist "The Jackal". Essentially the lore of this game is in the background and you have to research it and pay attention to understand whats going on.

Farcry 2 still holds up well in its Graphics Department for a game from 2008. The Dunia Engine makes use of fire elements burning the enviroments grass and trees, as well as showcasing a day and night cycle and weather effects not present in the previous game. As for the sound design the explosions, guns etc are all top notch while the voiceacting is pretty decent. A few music tracks caught my attention in this game; i really enjoy the calm music transition to the fast battle paced ones when a firefight is happening.

My only minor gripes with Farcry 2 are having to constantly get Malaria pills, and the long drives it kinda takes to get to some areas. Other that that i recommend playing Farcry 2.
