Is it still worth playing?
You are a mercenary in an unnamed fictional African country in the middle of a civil war, assigned to kill the Jackal, a weapons dealer inflaming the conflict. It is a 2008 first person shooter for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The player navigates the open world, completing missions for factions and allies called Buddies while managing health and equipment. The character is chosen from nine mercenaries, and the other eight are spread through the world. The land covers desert, savannah and jungle. The mercenary can use thirty firearms, from pistols to rocket launchers and mortars, and a machete for melee kills. Many missions involve storming or infiltrating encampments, which can be approached in a frontal assault or by stealth. A civil war across desert, savanna and jungle is still a setting worth a trip.
