Released for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in 2008, Far Cry 2 was a ginormous leap into the unknown compared to its predecessor. While Jack Carver took on the nefarious Dr Krieger and his cronies alone, the player in Far Cry 2 can choose their character. Whichever characters aren’t chosen then appear as allies that help the player complete side missions through specific talents or abilities. The story itself is set in an anonymous Central African state, and offers deserts, jungles, and savannas for players to explore. Lastly, the Dunia engine engendered complex and dynamic events to occur, like a day-and-night cycle, tree and vegetation regeneration, and wildfires that change dependent on wind speed, direction, moisture, and vegetation type.
