It's not all fighting, though. There is a lot of exploring to be
done, and many ways to do it. You can find quad bikes, cars, jeeps, and trucks
to drive around the islands' crumbly roads, plus sea vessels ranging from jet
skis to gunboats. You can even take to the sky by finding hang gliders perched
on high peaks. Few games feel so alive. As you travel, you get a strong sense
that this is a place that existed before you arrive, and will still be here
after you leave, a brilliant illusion that is all too rare in games.
