The game takes place in Kyrat which is a fictional Himalayan country that consist of sprawling mountains and forest, vast water systems, and villages. There is a catch though. There are parts throughout the game that you go to Shangri-la. A land that everyone in the real world knows as “a perfect world”. The game was based around the Nepalese Civil War.

There are many vehicles in this game to. There are trucks, helicopters, planes, four wheelers, dirt bikes, jet skis, boats, and hang gliders. All make it easier to get around the map. Also to unlock more of the map and more missions you have to capture outpost or radio towers.

There is also a multiplayer option in this game. It is a two player online game mode that lets you explore with a friend or just help a random person out. Say you are stuck on a mission and you need help. You go on to multiplayer and it finds someone who is on the same mission as you. You both can then work through it together and you get the same rewards as you would on campaign mode. There is also an arena option that lets you test your skills against all the different enemies you face in the game. You can go for as many rounds as you can or you can. So over all this game is a really good game to just sit down and explore.
