The awaited sequel to the blockbuster Far Cry will hit the shelves this week, which means that a little bit of reading about what it brings to the table is in order. This way, you will a least know if it's worth a purchase.
Among the several reviews and previews already published, Trusted Reviews had some good things to say about it: light changes through the course of the day, the map you are on is huge (like 50 km to explore), the change of scenery (to central Africa), the improved AI that will surely be needed in a FPS that claims to test your strategy skills, the use of fire and the environment as a whole; all those are points scored by this second instalment.
Maybe other articles are more comprehensive, but this one caught our attention because it's based on just some "stolen" moments of play and, to begin with, the author wasn't even inclined towards the game.
Here's the word from the early reviews.

By adopting a laissez faire attitude to player discretion, Ubisoft has crafted a brilliant follow-up.
