FAR CRY 2 CAMPAIGN REVIEW
UBISOFT MONTREAL launched FAR CRY 2 in the year 2008. Even
though this game is 12 years old the detailing done in this game is worth
praising. Some details in this game are even better than FAR CRY 3 and 4.
In FAR CRY 2, there are many characters with interesting
traits. Some of them are:-
1. MARTY ALENCAR
2.
PAUL FERENC
3.
QUARBANI SINGH (INDIAN CHARCTER)
4.
WARREN CLYDE
Those players whom we do not choose, help us throughout
the game by saving us from the enemies or from dying.
The game shows a place form AFRICA which is in a very bad
condition. There is no GOVERNMENT at that place and some people want to
flee from that place but they are unable to do so. There are different groups
at this place:-
1.
A.P.R.- ALLIANCE FOR PEOPLE RESISTANCE .- LEAD
BY OLIVER TAMBOSSA
2.
U.F.L.L. – UNITED FRONT FOR LIBERATION AND
LABOUR – LEAD BY ADDI MBANTUWE
These two groups are always in a war with each other. To
fight a war they need WEAPONS. There is a man named THE JACKAL who supplies
weapons to both the groups. Our ultimate mission in the game is to kill this
man.
In the game, our character is a mercenary. We (WE = PLAYER +
YOU) do anything for money. Therefore we are hired to kill THE JACKAL and stop
the CIVIL WAR. At the beginning of the game, we were going to a hotel in a car
. As soon as we reach the hotel, we get unconscious. It was due to MALARIA.
That place was a place of many diseases. When we get a bit conscious and open
our eyes we see JACKAL standing in front of us, investigating our kinds of stuff. He
reads all our documents and information about our mission. He says that he
knows we were there to kill him. He says that he is the one who decides who
lives and who dies. We were able to see him still we were unable to do
anything because of malaria.
When we gain consciousness for the second time we see that there
is a war going on between A.P.R. and U.F.F.L. in that city. Some people save us
and gives us some medicine and weapons and tells us to join their group.
Meanwhile, we meet the other playable characters of the game. These players are
called BUDDIES in the game. As all of you know that in the FAR CRY game series
there are many side missions which you can attempt while playing the game or
you can finish them afterward, it’s totally your wish.
MY SUGGESTION:-
I would suggest you play the side missions while playing
the game, not in the end because side mission help you to understand the game
more and also you can train yourself for the tough parts of the game.
Further in the game, we help a journalist named REUBEN to
find out the identity of JACKAL and to
find JACKAL himself. To catch JACKAL it was essential for us to survive
therefore we go to a church and meet a priest who gives us malaria medicine. The medicine works for a particular time period therefore we have to
take the medicine from time to time to survive. The medicine gets over sometimes and
we have to meet some people to get medicine. This action of eating medicine from time to time and medicine getting over give the game a realistic touch. During
a fight when we lose all our health and we run out of first aids then the
BUDDIES come to help us and give us an adrenaline shot so that we can finish off
the fight we started (They help us in the fight too).
Then we go to the headquarters of UFLL the UNITED FRONT FOR
LIBERATION AND LABOUR ]. They make us their agent and give us tasks to do. like
killing APR troops, killing their agent, or killing their captains. And on the
other hand, we work for the APR too. They also give us mission killing UFLL
people, captains, and agents. We were mercenaries, we worked for money, we
worked for people who paid us therefore we were working for both APR and UFLL.
After completing missions and tasks given by both groups,
the leaders of both groups call us to give us a final task. The UFLL tells us
to kill the leader of APR and the APR
tells us to kill the UFLL leader. But when we go on with our mission then
the contractors attack us and somehow we manage to escape and end up in a
desert and we lose consciousness. When we open our eyes we see that JACKAL was
sitting in front of us and he saved our lives by bringing us to a safe house.
But right then the troops arrive and JACKAL flees from there.
After that the
APR and UFLL decide to stop the civil war and be friends with each other. To
show gratitude the UFLL group send us to deliver some diamonds to the APR group as
a token of friendship. On our way to deliver the diamonds, we encounter JACKAL
and he takes away the diamond s from us. Then the JACKAL confess in front of
us that he wants to help the refugees of that place to escape because they were
living a very bad life. He wanted the two groups to go on full war and the
refugees escape the place easily. JACKAL tells us that he has placed some bombs
on the border but there was some problem with the detonator, therefore someone
has to go there and detonate the bomb manually. So either us or JACKAL has to
do this and the one who will detonate the bomb manually will get killed right
there. JACKAL then explains the plan. He tells us that we have to give the
diamond to the guards guarding the border so that they allow the refugees to
pass, and then someone has to detonate the bomb so that no one can follow the refugees.
We go to the guard and give him the diamonds and right then
JACKAL detonated the bomb. Journalist REUBEN captures all these incidents on
his camera. At the end of the game, we rescue more than 2 crore people.
Everyone thinks JACKAL died due to the bomb blast but no one ever found his
dead body. Maybe there was nothing left of him or maybe he escapes the blast
radius. The two groups APR and UFLL try to maintain order but failed eventually
. The coverage the journalist REUBEN had was ignored by everyone and was not
published anywhere so he decided to publish the story independently on his
personal blog.
At the end of the game, we are shown some pictures of
refugees and some quotes which tell us that the game is based on true events.
Maybe it is based on true events who knows.
My review – The story of the game was amazing just like
other games of the FAR CRY series. The developers have tried to put many
realistic situations in the game like as I mentioned before we have to take our
medicines from time to time, then our vehicles break down when we drive roughly or
when it gets shot and we can fix the vehicle, the guns we buy becomes old and
gets jammed if not maintained properly. The weapons in the game are fine but each
and every one of them needs to be maintained from time to time.
The overall graphics of the game is good. The graphics are
not so pleasing but it's okay for a game that old. Sometimes a zebra in the game
looks like a rabid dog, so you can imagine how is the graphics.
