Overview
A free-roaming first person shooter set in the fictional South American country of Realia (though occasionally referred to as Bolivia in the ingame text), where the player character Saul Myers, a French Foreign Legionnaire and modelled after Arnold Vosloo, heads after his daughter, an investigative journalist, is kidnapped there. There he must cajole, befriend, bribe, intimidate, burglarize, and fight his way through the various factions struggling for power as he searches for clues to the whereabouts of his daughter. With overworked and underpaid government troops, Marxist guerilla fighters, ruthless drug lords, petty bandits, aboriginal tribesmen, and CIA agents all wanting his help or a bullet in his head, Saul's mission won't be easy. Unlike this game's more contemporary genre-mate, Far Cry 2, there are methods of "making nice" with opposing factions, either by paying enormous bribes or by killing that faction's enemies.
The game takes place on a seamless 25 km x 25 km map, with two major cities: government-controlled Puerto Sombra in the Northeast, and guerilla controlled Pueblo Faro in the Southwest. The weapons in this title are upgradeable, and most have realistic magazine capacities. The selection and usable ammo types for each, however, are not quite as realistic, some of the most blatant being totally silent ammunition for everything from the unsuppressed pistols to an explosive grenade round(!).
Handguns
Colt Anaconda
The most abundant handgun in all of Realia, this revolver is the signature firearm of the Bandit faction and is also used by every male civilian NPC in the game (the latter are very quick to use them to kill Saul if they see him using violence). For obvious reasons its bullet capacity cannot be upgraded, but due to a graphical oversight this game's incarnation is probably the only revolver to be seen ejecting bullet casings(!). No other types of handguns are used by the civilians, which is odd given the popularity and prevalence of products from native South American firearms manufacturers, such as Taurus International.
Desert Eagle
The very first firearm acquired in the game, and Saul Myer's personal sidearm, available from the start of a new game (oddly enough for a French Foreign Legionairre). The only NPCs who use it are the Police Department of Puerto Sombra, something that would never occur in real life. Its initial magazine capacity is 5 rounds, which can be upgraded to 10 rounds.

FAMAS
IMBEL MD3
A Brazilian-made assault rifle variant of the FN FAL, this firearm is simply called the "Combat Rifle" ingame, is chambered for 5.56x45 mm NATO, has a 20 round initial magazine capacity (upgradeable to 30), has a fixed polymer stock (identifying it as the MD3 model), and is the standard-issue firearm for the Realian drug lords and their hordes of thugs. While the cheapest of its class in the game to buy and upgrade, it also has the lowest effective range and the slowest firing rate.
