The Far Cry franchise continues its award-worthy ways with this impressive first-person shooter. Alone in the middle of a conflict between two warlords, your mission is to end the hostilities and take out a mysterious figure known only as "The Jackal." Enter a massive open world measuring over 30 square miles of stunning African landscape. With that much ground to cover, you'll need wheels, and you'll operate trucks, cars, boats, gliders, and more. Of course, there's plenty to destroy, and you'll use machetes, machine guns, sniper rifles, flame-throwers, or whatever gives you the best chance to take down your target. You'll experience real-time day/night cycles, amazing special effects, and more.
