    I hope the A.I. really is improved over the preview build because I remember Shawn Elliot pointing that out as one of the biggest faults.

      Being able to corner & ambush enemies with burning grass is a truly sweet idea. ;)

    this review says there are a couple of glitches with A.I. but otherwise the enemy is fast 'n' flankin' as soon as they see ya......

    Fire dies down quite quickly after the firefight is over from what I've heard.

    I didn't read the review (not big on reading many reviews), but that is a bit surprising. You can take that as a positive because it's saying that the SP experience by itself warrants the score.

    I just looked at it as Facry 2 got a 9/10 single player experience.

    I really hope it stays that way when you throw in multiplayer

    I'm really looking forward to the Map-Creator ...I think if the MP plays well; the creator will really add a long life to the game.

    Maybe we should all just stick with Americanese. I heard it's the best of both worlds!

    I want to get this game but there are other things that are higher on my list and I don't know if I have the funds. I will get this eventually.

    Im avoiding actually reading reviews for this since I want to be surprised at how everything actually works but the scores seem very good so far. I already have this completely paid off at gamestop and its one of the few games ive ever preordered. Should be great

    It's a Gamestop exclusive as far as I know...you can read it here. You get 6 bonus missions which are said to be 3 hours worth of gameplay...and a full-size fold-out map. It's not a real LE (thus the quotes), but you can't beat it for free.

    that was a decent little promo video. I dont care much about the bonus missions since they will probaly be gamestop logo heavy and i would rather have the standard boxart without the big fat subtitle that says Gamestop Preorder Edition but that map would be so awesome to have! I'm guessing there isnt a real LE edition of this game though, just this version

    GS wouldn't have special BA saying "GS Pre-order Edition" ...if they have exclusive content the most they would do is put a sticker on the case. Also, I don't think you're going to see GS billboards scattered throughout Africa.

    right below the Far Cry 2 title reads Gamestop Pre-Order Edition. This looks like final box art to me
