Far Cry 2 is the next-generation first-person shooter from Ubisoft and it will take you deep into the most beautiful but also most hostile environments in the world: Africa!

The game is more than just a visual and technological achievement as it will provide you with unprecedented gaming experience.

Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal," a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives.

In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses and neutralize their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.
