The only currency worth a damn in Far Cry 2's Africa is diamonds. People use diamonds to buy guns, with which they threaten people to extort more diamonds. Ad infinitum.

Feel that? That sort of dull ache in your upper thigh punctuated by short bursts of stabbing pain? That's your wallet, screaming as the top quality titles keep on popping out into Autumn. Are the fire and diamonds of Far Cry 2 enough to justify its place in your budget? Watch this before deciding.

We've all seen level creators before, even though they've been less popular of late. Far Cry is stepping it up, however, and its level editing tool has been attracting praise like a free bar does journalists. But just how flexible is it? Well, as this video shows, pretty darn flexible.

For many people, a fresh start is a new job, or a new marriage, perhaps a new line in slightly outré knitwear. For the player of Far Cry 2 it's a chance to man up, pack up your arsenal and take on a continent. Always let the heroes die first.

A slightly jumpy trip through the jungle as an enemy position on the bend of a river receives some unwanted attention from a few rockets. We're not sure if the wildlife deserves that sort of treatment, though. What was that anyway? A giant tapir?

Researching a game as large as Far Cry 2 takes a great deal of effort. Art directors need to know the exact qualities of the light, animators the way the animals move, level designers the ways in which the people live. That, and it's a grand excuse for a big old jolly. However, it's not all plain sailing and pretty sunsets.

It's always nice when you get some extras in the box. You know, art, making of vids, that sort of thing. This, however, is truly impressive. A fully functional, easy to use map editor with more assets than Lola Ferrari. Also doubles as an excellent garden planner.

Why opt for the simple option of popping a foe's melon directly when there are so many other more entertaining options? There's the obvious environmental kill, gas tanks and so forth, but our personal favourite is the 'shoot someone so he screams in agony, attracting a friend, who you also shoot. Nice.

Ubisoft's continuation of the Far Cry franchise was initially buried under comparisons with Crytek's separate development path, but the Dumia engine has proven that the game is making great strides of its own. Here's hoping that there's substance underneath all of that style.

With Crysis now firmly dated, and looking extremely slick to boot, Far Cry 2 is bound to come under some scrutiny. Ubisoft has posited a spring 2008 date for the follow up to Jack Carver's adventures, can it match the success of he first game?
