Far Cry 2 is really lucky that its ambiance is some of the finest stuff I've ever experienced, because there is not much behind the eyes. The gunplay is serviceable, the story is barebones, the mission variety is downright abysmal - all told outside of how the game looks and sounds there's not much to really write home about. But oh my God is the presentation good. The sounds of the rustling jungle around you, the frantic scrambling during a gunfight to try and figure out what's going on, the way weapons degrade and jam to add tension to a normal situation, and above all the complete silence when the firing stops?
