If you haven't had your ear to the ground listening to any and all Far Cry 2 news -- well what's wrong with you? Press your ear down now, we promise the FPS lover in you won't be disappointed. Although it is possible that some of you dismissed the sequel as "Far Cry 2: More Mutants" and we couldn't blame you if you played the first game. The sequel's lead developer would like you to know that, "There are no, f***ing, mutants." So don't worry, no mutants are going to ruin your fun this time around.

There was a worry on our part that the game would succumb to various pitfalls of "next-gen" gaming. This doesn't appear to be the case though, as many features sound quite compelling. The very first thing you'll notice is that the game manages to evoke a realistic tone without being unabashedly smothered in brown hues. Yes there are browns, but there are also greens, blues, whites, golds and many tiny hints of color.

As for game features, we feel a certain sense of caution when a developer talks about a strong story set in an open world where your choices "truly" matter. Yet we started to believe when we heard players can dig bullets out of their body when hit. Now that's an intriguing feature. Tell us more Ubisoft, tell us more.
