The grass and the bushes blows (when it's windy) convincingly with the wind. The animations that play when you're trying to fix yourself because you're nearly dead by pulling a bullet out of your flesh or twisting your leg back because of a huge fall is pleasing to watch. Far Cry 2 is built on Ubisoft's Dunia engine and this allows you to shoot individual branches off a tree. What is really good about this game is the physics. The guys you fight can soak up a few bullets so to conserve ammo, you gotta nail those headshots. You can even use stealth tactics to eliminate your enemy although the branch whip and claymore mine tactics that you can use to silently kill the enemy from Far Cry Instincts are gone. When the action gets going, the game is a joy to play with frantic gun fights and encounters with the enemy. They are nippy to drive although the engine noises of some of the vehicles are dull. To help you transverse the huge African environment, you have a bunch of vehicles to choose from like boats, jeeps and buggies. As you rescue people around the landscape as part as normal progression, they will become your buddy to help you by helping you when your pinned down by enemy fire or offer you an alternative mission to the one that you're going on at the time.
