Excerpts:
A traipse through the first few hours of the single-player campaign revealed a game that's not short on ambition, but equally harbouring a fair share of potential frustration for those weened on more linear shooting thrills.
Given the scale, however, it's understandable that the visuals don't quite reach the peaks scaled by other top tier first-person shooters, with textures on the Xbox 360 version we tested sometimes feeling flat.
It's a little disappointing, given that for many Far Cry has become a byword for graphical excellence, something the original's developers Crytek have gone on to maintain with the two Crysis titles on the PC.
..the most terrifying aspect of Far Cry 2's initial moments is the sheer scale of what's on offer.
Bold in both scope and execution, our first few hours in the game suggested that this could be one of the most interesting and thought-provoking propositions amidst the tide of first class titles that are coming our way in the next few months.
