Far Cry 2

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

No doubt one of the most highly anticipated shooters of 2008, Far Cry 2 has something to prove if it wants to shake the inevitable comparison to its step-cousin-once-removed, Crysis. ... » Read More

Far Cry 2

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

The original Far Cry was hugely successful for two huge reasons - presentation and freedom. When the shooter first released on PC in 2004, the lush and unrestricted jungle setting was a revelation. Gamers accustomed to dark hallways and crate-filled rooms suddenly found themselves standing in bright sunlight, surrounded by swaying trees, sparkling water and open expanses of mostly nonlinear terrain. ... » Read More

Far Cry 2 - updated hands-on

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

Forget tropical jungles. That’s old news. The Serengeti is the newest playground in gaming. Just look at Resident Evil 5, or Halo 3. The continent is a gaming paradise, mixing wide-open savannas with dense jungles, which is exactly why Far Cry 2 has ditched the island. It’s a fresh location for a new beginning. Name aside, Far Cry 2 has nothing to do with the original. Carver’s long gone, and he’s taken the tridents ... » Read More

It came from Africa

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

Nov 20, 2007 In March 1898, two maneless Tsavo man-eating lions preyed on workers during the construction of the Ugandan railway. The pair, part of a testosterone-charged sub-species of lion local to the area, killed an estimated 135 people - their efforts later immortalized in the Val Kilmer film The Ghost and the Darkness. In late July of this year five men from Ubisoft Montreal were spending a night under canvas in the same area. “We couldnt see anything - we just heard an elephant ... » Read More

Far Cry 2 - interview

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

Three years. It's been three whole years since a the little known German developer called Crytek amazed the PC first-person shooter world with its debut game Far Cry. It came out of nowhere, and proceeded to blow everyone away. But despite its critical and commercial success, the game's publisher Ubisoft then decided to focus its efforts on console development where the franchise was concerned, and it was only last month that it finally announced the long-awaited return of Far Cry to the ... » Read More

Far Cry 2 - first look part two

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

Below is the second and concluding half of our look at Far Cry 2. Click here if you missed the first part. Far Cry wouldn't be Far Cry without a heavy dose of jungle. While you will be crawling on your belly through the forest, it's not all-consuming like before. The canopy opens up and there are large expanses of open ground where there's hardly a piece of bark in sight. "It was an absolute requirement that Far Cry 2 maintain the exoticism [of the original game]," explains Pharand. "The ... » Read More

Far Cry 2 - first look

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

Jack Carver isn't here. The monstrous Trigens are gone and that tropical island from the original game is over a thousand miles away. Instead, we're on the sprawling plains of the African savannah, and our enemies are angry humans and hungry wildlife. Far Cry as you know it is dead: long live Far Cry 2. If it's not white beaches or slathering mutants, what is it? In short, everything. Far Cry 2 is hugely, impossibly ambitious. It's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. gone on safari; it's Boiling Point with a ... » Read More

Far Cry 2 - where to next?

PC Preview | Far Cry 2

Halo in paradise. Plus raw, primeval super-powers. That's how Far Cry won our hard hearts first time out on Xbox. And as a super-slick shooter with sweet vehicles and some of the best jungle we've ever laid eyeballs on too. And jungle looks set to remain the heart of this sequel - but this time around troubled hero Jack Carver looks to be heading for a ... » Read More
