As good as the hype.

So, there have now played good 4 hours (at a time ... is also a long time ago, speaking in advance for the game) and am ... absulut blown away.
After the first reviews (and the opinions of supposed Warez freaks) let the anticipation but already down significantly. From partially Strunz stupid AI opponents was to read the graph is not all that great and the storage system would für'n Ar ***.

But the best I'll start from scratch at, nähmlich the intro. This can be found at Far Cry 2 in advance not to initiate is told directly in real time, so you are right in the middle of the action. To avoid any spoilers - the history to a arms dealer named 'Jackal' should by now all be known in this thread - to put it briefly, the protagonist (who that is, you decide to start of the game, in total there are 12 selectable Chars) suffers from the beginning until the final (as it says in Gamepro test) of malaria. A disease of the game is like not to be trifled with in real life. This makes about when to long sprints (by pressing the left stick) and at irregular intervals by blurred vision + bloodshot screen edges noticeable. Even the crossing of borders Level (usually a seamless transition in desert areas) will quitiert with high fever and the death of your character.

The game world, more or less divided into 2 different scenarios -. Jungle and Steppe, extends to 50 square kilometers and is known technically cards divided into a northern (Leboa-Sako) and a southern (Bowa Seko) part. These are in turn divided on your map (Print on Back) into smaller sections. In addition, you have the chance and the like with a Scope gun positions, medikits, Sniper to mark each on a greatly enlarged section of the map.

The graphics and atmosphere is (in my opinion) just breathtaking. Whether her Africa now explored the midday heat or in a moonlight night, never saw a game world more real. Also, often touted by Ubisoft, the feature area firefighting works just great ... and looks great too. When I threw the first time a Mollie in the Pampa, I was almost shocked at how realistic spread the fire, as it happens in advance, that you should take the legs quickly in the hand, not even eaten by the flames will.

Let's talk about the opponents. The behavior is usually quite smart, now and then the AI ​​has a few misfires, but good, like the VLT. be because the have fought her in the final mission still on their side. = D

Weapons gibt'zu Hauf, a similar number as in CoD4. With you carry round you are allowed, however (naturally Oo!) Only 4, which in the categories Machete (the only melee weapon), primary weapons (rifles, shotguns, several sniper - the usual suspects halt), secondary weapons (guns, bombs) and special weapons (MGs , rocket launchers, flame throwers) are distributed on the directional pad. Not forgetting grenades and Molotov's, these are thrown by pressing RB. Are you with a gun in his hand but not too sure you have these picked up by a dead back Sacher, they also like to wear and tear, such as stoppages, on.

The health system is imo quite well solved. Here the life display is divided into several sections. Do you go for cover, fill them until the next section back on, lose a whole or more sections you, help you (as well as ammunition, generously distributed) spraying on the jumps. Are you croak shortly before, is sometimes resorted to forceps around the globe to remove directly from the wound. Not forgetting euere vital malaria pills that are einzuschmeissen as needed.

Mission Technically there's plenty to do. Also you can at eueren orders on tips euerer called. Buddys set (mentioned at the beginning of 12 Charaktäre) that facilitate you get ahead significantly. Part-time jobs there are of course also plentiful, variety but this is not just priority. Furthermore, there is plenty of diamonds (which are also the currency in the game) and audio diaries (Bioshock sends his regards) to find.

Multiplayer and map editor I leave now time outside before, this was missing until now is the time. Only the single-player so already maintains a safe but quite a few hours alone in scope a clear reason to buy. Story and Mission Techn. Should you but do not expect miracles.

Conclusion:

+ Graphics (!!!) -> Dunja Engine (renewable vegetation, dynamic day / night and weather changes, first-class lighting and shadow effects
+ Soundscape (weapons, Games World, Soundtrack)
+ Extensive arsenal
+ Africa in 50 km²
+ 1A explosions, fire
+ Scope

- Dt Synchro partly unmotivated and inappropriate.
- Storage system
- AI-outs

Power for me ... 89% - As good as the hype.
