Good for teens...on the mature side
This game is really great. there are many different vehicles to drive including jeeps dune buggies even hand gliders. many different realistic weapons. very long story line. But very graphic. Most of the missions are assasinations, sabotage etc. the most gruesome parts are while restoring your health at the critical, the charachter will pull bullets out of the legs, arms hands etc. sometimes will pop the broken bone back into place. even cauterize bullet wounds closed with a lighter. Great for older kids but if your against blood and gore not right for you. occasionally some swearing but not too bad...

Fun 1st Person Open World
Far Cry 2 is made by possibly the most graphically centered company to date, Crytek. Crytek also manufactured the game with the greatest graphics of all time, a PC exclusive called Crysis. So, needless to say, Far Cry 2 is extremely impressive, graphically. The gameplay is fun, although the controls can be extremely overwhelming at times. As for the content, the violence is easily the most prevalent bit of questionable content. The game is not gory, but it is bloody. Corpses never really disappear and shooting corpses causes more blood to come out. Lots of explosions, shootings, and some pretty graphic finishing moves with the machete. As for the language, I don't know what game some of you are playing, but, while it's not Grand Theft Auto, there are reasonably frequent F-bombs. I'd say if you aren't offended by language, it'll be fine. Fourteen plus.

Great game for kids in their late teens
Right off the bat i'm just gonna say the alleged "sexual content" the ESRB put in the rating is non existant. I don't know if using the F word constitutes this for the ESRB but through the hours and hours i've played this game, i have not seen or heard any mention of sexual content. The game is a little bloody, but like the commonsense review said, its bloodiest moments are when you extract a bullet from your arm or pop a limb back into place. i suppose their are some ethical issues in the fact that you fight for both sides of an African civil war and you get paid in diamonds. the language is strong, but not excessive or gratuitous. there is one reference to Khat in it. I would say it's appropriate for kids 15 and up.

Boring M-rated shooter
Far Cry 2 is a mediocre shooter with constant violence and blood shed toward soldiers and civilians alike. Many of the characters in the game use frequent fowl language including the f- and s-words. There is also some drug reference such as you having to take pills when you catch malaria and inject yourself with some drug to heal you wounds. Now let me say that when I start a game I usually finish it, I didn't finish Far Cry 2. There was nothing fun about the game, the guns were no fun to shoot and jam frequently if your not using your own, the vehicles are boring to drive and there was a lot of 'go here and talk to this guy then go over there and shoot these guys so you can go back and tell the guy you just left that you did what he asked'. Overall Far Cry 2 is a very shallow and repetitive FPS.

STUNNING BEAUTY!
This game has AMAZING graphics and is definatly a must have for any teenager interested in a long game with a good storyline. I would recommend this game for kids 12 and up due to it's minor language and rather excessive blood content. This game is rather violent but nothing worse then you see on t.v. The graphics alone make the game worth buying... and the free-roam basis allows for the game to be played in you style... whether that be sneaky and quite or guns blazing carnage. An excellent game for adults as well.

great intense game for 1+
there is blood in the game but its not disgusting like a slasher movie the gun fights are very intense you can not cause post Morten damage. the payer has to take prescription drugs but that is a good thing suitable for 11 year olds

Ok for kids 11-12 and up.
This seems fine. Most kids these days are exposed to these words cause of older kids on the bus or kids in the hall swearing about a bad grade on their test. Simply put, kids don't tell parents when they're exposed to this cause they don't want them to worry. Also. Whenever you do hit someone with anything well usually if you stab a knife into someone nothing more than a little blood. If you hit something and someone catches on fire usually they fall over and you don't see it. You shoot them a little blood comes out. I would be much more worried about TV shows these days. So again kids 11-12 should be able to play the game. There are no sexual themes as far as I know. And I've played this before. And just a big FYI to parents! In these games they only say swears once or twice.

this game is better than far cry 1 because you can pick the character,buy guns,jam and degrade guns,heal yourself,make every one know who's boss,a great online mode,and just play around.

Open world game but has blood and language
This game has great graphics an is very realistic. The blood is not super bad but it is in ther often. Such as when you use pliers to taek bullets out of you which is graphic. The language is heard often including a couple of f bombs. The drugs isnt but, yuou inject yourself with a needle to get health.

Violence is a little over the top.
Far cry 2 is a great game but has quirks with the violence. There is lots of blood in the violence, In combat and cut scenes. Shooting people is really bloody. Blood going everywhere. You have an ability with pliers to pull bullets out of your skin. Which looks realistic. The language obviously happens in this game with F words at the max. But there is not THAT much. There are drugs and injections to stimulate but its not that bad. Overall its really violent with some drugs too.

This is an awesome game! I highly suggest this to anyone who loves hours of gameplay! It is hardly gory and I have played this game for hours and havent hardly heard any drug refrences. I dont think it should be rated M. Great game for 12+.

Great Game
Well, what can i say about Far Cry 2, Its a fun filled game with lots to do and lots to explore. The bad things about this game are: There is alot of blood and violence, Not to much cussing but the only cussing in the game is like a couple of s*** and like one F***. Im suprised at how much is on the back of the game, Though theres no sexual content.. Theres sexual content on the back? i dont get ESRB sometimes. But the drug content is just using needles to boost you up. But overall this game is for Teens really.. Theres killing and blowing up stuff. Teen stuff right? This game isnt to bad but id say 15 and up

12+ would be fine
The Game is very very violent there's some blood and you have to sometimes remove a bullet from yourself in-game(witch makes more blood) but it's nothing I would worry about. as far as Language goes there's a few bad words but if your kid watches Saturday night live then he would be fine. there's no sexual content what so ever and ESRB was dum to put that on the box. So if your kid is 12+ go ahead and buy it and if your still worried about language go to the options menu and turn the voice volume down. online is another think though if another player has a microphone he could say all kinds of bad things and there nothing to stop him so be careful. =D
