There have actually been quite a few games set in Africa and many of them have actually caused major debates and angered a fair few people. These ones have to be the top three.

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 or Biohazard 5 in Japan was released earlier this year and is of course one of the many games in the Resident Evil survival horror franchise. As ever the game was developed and published by Capcom and strangely enough the game is actually the seventh instalment in the series. The game itself actually takes part in a fictional town Kijuju located in Africa. Out of all of the games set in Africa it would seem this one caused the most trouble as in the first trailer the only people you were killing were black people. The game was eventually seen as not being racist.

Call Of Duty- World At War

The main story only has a couple of missions that are actually set in Africa but the race row came from the japanese and not the Africans as they thought they were being showed in the wrong way. On the other hand it is widely known that the Japanese treated all of their POW’s really badly.

Far Cry 2

This game is also set in a fictional town based in Africa. This game was set in 2008 as this was the year that it was released. You play a mercenary who has been given the mammoth task of hunting down someone known as the Jackal. The Jackal is supplying both sides of the war with weapons. One of the reasons that made this game so good is that you can go wherever you want in the map.

If you would like to see where these games got their inspiration from then why not get yourself over to Africa? {Tanzania Holidays, Mozambique Holidays} and of course Lamu Holidays could be the right holiday to take.
