The African setting is full of lush greens and arid browns. Far Cry 2 benefits from strong production values, as you might expect from a Gameloft game. Fortunately, there are some extra elements that spice things up, like roasting targets with a flamethrower or shooting them while rising on a motorcycle. The action is Far Cry 2 is well paced although after several missions of basic on-foot combat, the game felt mildly routine - duck, shoot, Molotov, and repeat. You may not nudge the overall outcome of the conflict from its inevitable conclusion, but you are left with the feeling that you did. It's not that the game is entirely open-world, but I like the idea of consequences for your actions depending on what you do. Your pockets may be full of diamonds, but just ratcheting up the rage between the rival factions is hurting the people of the country. As you undertake the missions for each faction, you get an idea of how your actions are affecting the country. While the game itself is rather traditional - there is a lot of running up to cover, waiting for an enemy to reload, and then returning fire - the frame work is not. The main currency in this war torn nation is diamonds, so you always want to be on the lookout for the most sparkling payday. You stumble into a town with several key buildings and personalities, such as job board for taking on assignments from the rival factions in the country, a store where you can buy weapons and gear, a fortune teller, and a gambling range. If stabilizing the country happens to come out of you killing the Jackal, then that's just gravy. You have been betrayed and naturally want revenge. From there, you wake up in a fictional African country with a bad case of malaria. At the start of the game, you select a mercenary from a small stable. (This problem has plagued mobile since, what, Gladiator over WAP?) But scale them back and expect a solid run-and-gun actioner, and you'll find a bit to enjoy in this mission to hunt down an arms dealer named the Jackal. Now, if you go into Far Cry 2 on mobile with a poor attitude and a set of assumptions, you are bound to be disappointed. Far Cry 2 for mobile is a playable action game that replicates the scope of the console/PC game through a little bit of trickery. But the amazing thing is that Gameloft once again delivers against expectations. Perfect source material for mobile, right? Surely that will fit on the smallest screen and still remain true to the source material. Far Cry 2 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC is a huge, open-world first-person shooter set in Africa where you try to put out the fires of a civil war. Gameloft seems to delight on attempting the ridiculous.
