    This game seems to have gone much unnoticed and I can't understand why?

    The game's story, to be honest is not brilliant, but it serves its purpose and in a game where the gameplay is top dog, that's fine! The story is good enough that it's plausible and has enough depth to keep you interested, however other than that, it isn't going to make a game on its own!

    The gameplay makes this game. The shooting is fun and very realistic, with events such as jams happening occasionally. The free roaming is overly time-consuming, but there are lots of enemies throughout the map, so it keeps it from getting boring. There are also lots of vehicles to reduce time spent travelling and some which have guns with them, which are fun.

    The fire part of the game is good because most things will set alight, and when armed with a flame thrower you can often lose yourself. The fire doesn't make the game anything special in its own rights, but it's pretty dam good.

    Anybody who enjoys shooting games will like this, but they may need to put some time aside to play it. I would advise that anyone who isn't a hardcore gamer will find it hard to enjoy this game but everyone who is will love it!

    This game has the most realistic fire possible, the wind can blow the fire to the grass then it will turn from a grass fire to a fully blazing forest fire. The currency is rough diamonds that are obtained by missions and hidden ones around the 60km map.

    At the beginning you have malaria, so need medicine slowly relieving you of your illness while you gain reputation and become known, then feared, by your enemies. Another one of my favourite things is the fact that you can play both sides, getting diamonds on the way and making your way up the gang's ladder until you find the man that started it all. Online is another plus the ranking system is not far off COD and you get diamonds depending on how well you do in matches, off course some experience in FPS is useful but not necessary.

    The diamonds online are used to upgrade the many classes that you have to choose from, for example, the Rebel Class: Upgrade the Flamethrower to a Rocket Launcher or perhaps the G3KA4 to the AK-47 or an ordinary pistol to a GRENADE LAUNCHER!

    This game is about a guy with malaria that comes to Africa. The objective is to kill the jackal that is a reason of a civil war in Africa. In my opinion this game scores 10/10, as you will notice every bit of this game is realistic, the fire, the gun getting jammed - everything just like real life. The online play is fantastic, especially when you unlock the grenade launcher. It's certainly worth buying!!
