Far Cry 2 (PS3) Specifications

Exploring 20 square miles of African savannah and jungle is never an easy task. But when you’re up against an army of highly trained mercenaries, the danger becomes unimaginable. Welcome to the world of Far Cry 2.

Far Cry 2 has some of the best explosions in the business

Vehicles are great for cover as well as transport

It’s best to keep some of the game’s factions on your side

The environmental graphics are both stunning and highly varied

It’s been over four years since the release of the first Far Cry, and Far Cry 2 has almost nothing in common with it beyond being a first-person shooter with excellent graphics and advanced artificial intelligence. It’s by a different developer, and you now play one of eight different mercenary characters out to catch an arms dealer nicknamed “The Jackal.”

The sci-fi enemies have also been jettisoned in favour of a much more realistic game where survival skills are just as important as a good aim. The rules of engagement--either by stealth or all guns blazing--are entirely up to you.

Key Features

• Virtual safari: The game features 20 square miles of terrain for you to travel, filled with realistic fauna and flora and fully destructible trees and buildings.
• Fiery realism: With an all-new graphics engine created just for the game, fire moves and propagates exactly as in real-life, with vegetation breaking and snapping realistically.
• The coming storm: A dynamic weather system changes to reflect your mood, with the sky turning dark and stormy during bad times.
• Jungle survival: Highly realistic weapons degrade with use, bullets need to be dug out of your body, and vehicles break down if pushed beyond their limits.
• Buying friends: Meet and co-operate with fellow mercenaries as you pit different factions against one another in a war-torn African state.

About the Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Ubisoft’s huge development studio in Canada has created many of the French publisher’s biggest hits, including the Splinter Cel series, the modern Prince of Persia games, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Assassin’s Creed, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja and the Far Cry sequels and spin-offs.

• Extreme Conditions: Set on a snowbound world, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition brings the chills indoors. Vast, vivid environments see you fighting the elements as well as the Akrid, pitching you against snowstorms, arctic winds and mountains of ice, while battling through the ruined towers, cities and bases humanity has abandoned.
• Extreme Solutions: State-of-the-art weaponry and gadgets include a grappling anchor to let you zip to safety, or reach new areas. Plus assault rifles, grenades and plasma guns. You can even rip weapons off VS battle suits to grab rocket launchers, laser rifles and gatling cannons.

You need T-Eng to heal yourself, to power VS battle suits and to work some weapons. So keep moving, find shelter and kill Akrid - their dead bodies are a useful source of T-Eng. The pressure's on!
• Extreme Online: 16-player intense action across eight vast, icy levels. Hunt down hidden weapons, climb into VS battle suits or use your anchor and zip line to find new sniping positions.
