[Review] Far Cry 2

[Inkriql]

Far Cry 2 is the sequel to the first-person action video game (FPS) developed and distributed by Ubisoft in 2008. This does not follow the plot line of its predecessor, as it abandons the science fiction theme, to focus on a story located in Africa, also leaving aside the protagonist of the first installment, the renowned Jack Carver, who gave personality to the first part and its expansions (Evolution in XBOX, Predator on Xbox 360 and Vengeance for Wii) . The development was in charge of Ubisoft, without the participation of Crytek Labs.

Game mode
Far Cry 2 is characterized by having an open end. Players are able to ally with one or multiple factions, and progress through the game and the missions that can be found, resulting in a non-linear gameplay style that allows the story to progress in the desired order. Players can use a range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, boats (many of which are equipped with weapons), a bus network with equidistant stations to move quickly from one end of the stage to another and even hang wings, to Move around a wide 50km2 stage and choose how to get to your destination.

Time of day also affects the behavior of artificial intelligence (I.A), in terms of alertness and aggressiveness; for example, an enemy may intensify his intuition a little at night, but cannot see the hidden player; Meanwhile, during noon the enemies can take turns guarding in groups but easily see the player from a distance.

The health bar represents the health of the protagonist, which is divided into five segments, each of which is automatically filled in if it is not used up and the player finds coverage for a few seconds. Players carry a limited supply of syrettes, which can be used at all times to completely refill the health bar, and are available from medical kits located throughout the world, specifically at guard posts. When he is close to death (there is only one health bar left), the player must perform first aid to himself, for example, removing bullets with pliers, or returning the ankle or fractured fingers to their position.The different scenarios include the African savanna, rivers, jungle and desert, in all of which it is automatically passed from day to night and vice versa, since time flows dynamically.

The player must count on the help of friends who he finds trapped in bases, they are known as colleagues, they can give missions or when the health reaches zero they will rescue you but only once, so that he does it again he must go to a free house where you will be found and decide to help you.
