The first part Xenus bogey players an impressive array of various defects. Excluding purely technical flaws, the problems were in the design maps and quests, and gameplay. Three years later, Deep Shadows correct its own mistakes. «Xenus 2: White Gold" is no longer experiencing the strength of our with your nerves and play was really interesting.
Our old friend Saul Mayers returned to the screen. But if the last time the irrepressible mercenary searching for his missing daughter, now in his job is to figure out who and what delivers a toxic cocaine. Not only that the drugs themselves are not helpful to the health or some other shady characters were poisoning them and sell celebrities. Those, of course, consume a potion and die like flies. In such a hopeless situation, the CIA refers to Mayersu requested to drive in Kovumbiyu (this is called a new scene), and to expose all the villains. It is obvious that, like three years ago, nothing good Myers is not waiting. Already on the way to the island he is attacked local thugs-paramilitaries who send our hero's boat at the bottom of (Sol himself miraculously come to the shore to shore). In the future, with crazy paramilitares you will ever meet, so keep a loaded machine.

New world History in Xenus 2 is not that outstanding, topical scenes so unexpected turns in her very, very little. The whole point game, as before, in a variety of side quests.
Quests really abundance, and to honor the developers, not all of them are banal. Often, of course, have to deal with boring "post" missions or kill unwanted characters. But there are also non-trivial tasks. Suddenly offered to fly the plane, scattering leaflets, escort VIPs to safety or get fast Agitplakat posting at the nearest pole. In addition, our hero drags everywhere camera - another source of income: tourists can capture the beach or spend Pornstars exploration villas local "godfather."
And money, like it or not, and will have to earn. They need not so much for buying equipment (it can be removed from the corpses of enemies or procured, revealing the many crates and boxes), but in order to move through the story.
The developers have chosen the classic scenario - until you have desired amount of cash, will not pass on.In the early games, such as local bandits kidnap the old man - the sole owner of the boat (only on it can swim to the next island), so you have it disembarrass. However, there is a choice - you can shoot the whole gang, with the battle Granddaddy pulling out from the clutches of villains, or to collect a few thousand pesos to pay his debt.
However, on the next island, where you have to pay the informant, this trick does not work - so good batrachit local dealers.

Tough choice By the way, before an enthusiastic take up another job, it is useful to find out with whom you quarrel in the middle. As before, the non-peaceful coexistence Kovumbii quite a few groups: bandits, drug mafia, guerrillas, official and so on. Everyone, of course, hates his neighbor, so that, laboring at the bandits, you can easily fall out, for example, with the authorities. In this case, the National Army soldiers, whom the islands a dime a dozen, catching sight of your heroic torso, immediately open aimed fire from all available weapons.
Do not forget about the assignments of ordinary citizens. In each village wanders about a dozen unfortunate inhabitants, who desperately need your help. Do not deny them, and reward in the form of experience points and money will not keep you waiting.
 | Enemies are generally stupid, so it is often a good tactic is simple frontal attack |
Paradoxically, the quests to a large extent create an atmosphere Xenus 2. There are at least two explanations. Firstly, what pleases me, though the dialogue and unnecessarily lengthy and answers on the final result is little or no effect, all lyrics are very well written and humorous. They are a pleasure to read. Secondly, a successful voice here. Actors are not false and not trash, because every hero of this tale - a real person with his speech features and character.
Well, of course, drunk freedom. As promised the authors, available for maneuvering space has become much smaller, but the study of the world a pleasant surprise. Everywhere you meet local people can suddenly become a witness to the shooting, or stumble upon a camp of bandits. True, boring, empty locations, too, have (especially when it comes to long to sail by boat to another island), but it was at times less. And, of course, is no match does not go with Far Cry 2, where the entire game consists of a dreary, empty savannah inhabited by a crazed terrorist.
In Xenus 2, though not without flaws, create an atmosphere of adventure. And what an adventure without traveling? Since now the story develops on numerous islands, the main means of transportation was by sea. You can ride on high-speed motorboats, powerful military boats or clumsy barges. In this case, have not gone the usual cars, planes and helicopters. True, transportation management leaves much to be desired.Machine, for example, is too responsive to the pressing of buttons, so that one wrong move - and the car at full speed, flying into the abyss. Get hold of the new work does not make, but if you do not have time to escape from a sinking car, have to start from the next save.
Fly a helicopter or plane - even fun for masochists. Clumsy vehicles every now and then collapses on his side, suddenly and very abruptly lose height. Air walk, usually turns into a very nervous and a hell of a dangerous adventure.

It is not RPG Significantly changed the scheme of character development. Those who played in the first part, remember that there are cultivating character was realized very strange. Experience points were given for it is not clear that our ward (past, note the service in the Foreign Legion) had suddenly "from scratch" to learn to drive a car and so on.
Now everything is easier. For every action, whether it be killing the enemy or the job, you prescribe a certain number of experience points. Reaching a new level, you will be able to learn another perk. There are three dozen, and in each game come in handy. You can learn how to conduct aimed fire, increase the time underwater breathing, increase your running speed or jumping height. Many of the perks help to perform the job. For example, once the local divers will ask you to swim into the cave and search for their comrade. So, the cave is located on the impressive depth and swim there without the necessary skills - a problem, frankly, trivial.
But the shooting has not changed much. Enemies though have learned to hide behind the shelter and avoid the flanks, often run out into the open, silly slicing your bullets. Because of this cruel war turns into a hilarious range. The complexity does not affect even the fact that the weapons eventually comes into disrepair, almost like in Far Cry 2. Only if there's trunks started to go crazy after a couple of dozen shots, then Xenus 2 with brand new machines can run nearly the entire game. Amortization of weapons is extremely low.
But the hero - namby-pamby, no search, that is, of course, makes the shooting a little more tense. Myers dies heroically just from a couple of well-aimed hit, not even a body armor saves. And although the developers have implemented a point system damage, it works strange.
On the one hand, realism - was shot in the leg, our brave begins to limp and slower runs. Hit in the arm lowers accuracy and so on. But the question is - why all the wounds can heal by absorbing the fruit? This, if you remember, we were surprised back in the press release, about which we talked a little more than a month ago. So, since no significant changes have occurred. Again, you can easily improve your health by eating bananas or canned. Another option - stick his medications. Medicine is better than bananas, but are addictive, causing their further salutary effect of dramatically reduced. So have to go to the doctor to get rid of the addiction.
Bright Future Never thought I would have to say this, but the "white gold" in some respects is better than its main rival Western Far Cry 2. Purely from a technical point of view, no doubt, a game from Ubisoft furnishes the brainchild of Ukrainians. But in «Xenus 2" is important - rich world, where always something going on, unbanal assignments and memorable images of heroes. The game just lacks polish Western projects, which is why, for example, the graphics look outdated, at four. Again, all these characters are clones so sometimes get stuck in the air things spoil the picture. But it is not so important things, which, in general, you can close your eyes. Deep Shadows have set a new benchmark in quality and we hope that their "Baptist" will not be worse, but better than this game.
 | On land, water and air |
Get ready to spend much time behind the wheel car. This is the second most important after the boat form of transport. In addition, the car has a trunk, which can add unnecessary things.
The tanks are rare, mostly from the military. Zaimet such a toy - half the success. Second half - the ability to control it. This machine, though terrible, but terribly clumsy, so if you're saddled her, enemies with grenade launchers are very dangerous.
Helicopter - speed and a powerful thing. Guzzles petrol, of course, on an industrial scale, but has a solid firepower and is capable of landing anywhere. Problems can occur only when management. To keep the "bird" in the air, will have to show this skill.
The lion's share of adventure takes place on the water. Since we are on the islands, then get ready in advance to ensure that the float will have many. Therefore, the boats in the game - the most popular form of transport. Manage them easily, models - tens. And if zaimet great and terrible battle boat, then life becomes very beautiful.
