Far Cry 2 has left the tropical island and is now in Africa. In Africa you have a 50km2 open world, that´s bigger than in Oblivion, so the beginning words at the public presentation at DreamHack.

I´ve seen over 60 minutes playing time of Farc Cry 2 and i really know now: This game is a must have title!

In Far Cry 2 you have a 24h weather cycle, 1 minute in the game is 5 minutesin real time and you can use this weather cycle for the missions, cause if you want to start a mission at night, so you can. The enemies interact with the weather perfectly, so they see less at night and are more concentrated.

As said you have an open world, you can interact with people in Far Cry 2, you can decide if you make a mission or not. Also you can recruit other people for your missions and you can buy new items or weapons.

Grafical is Far Cry 2 really fantastic and the area is highly destructible. The full 50km2 is without any loadings, so you can run from a to B without loading. The bushes, trees and other would burn out if you burn it with the flamthrower, houses and buildings are destructible, cars,... It´s a pretty realistic gameplay. Africa is dirty, so your weapon could jam, AK less as other one...

Maybe you remember on Far Cry 1: It was beautiful to see, it was a great map editor but it wasn´t easy to play and it was very linear.

In Far Cry 2 you have a map editor too. But for that, you can watch the demo presentation:

All in all, Far Cry 2 is a perfectly game and everyone should watch it at least once!

Here is the official video from DreamHack(24min):
