  • Summary: Developed by Avalanche Studios, Just Cause 2 finds Rico Rodriguez returning in an epic open-world adventure set in the diverse tropical playground of Panau in South East Asia, where the aim is to cause chaos and destruction in a way that only Rico knows how! His mission is to destabilize the island and free it from the tyranny of the evil dictator, Baby Panay. Players tackle missions and objectives in any way they want while exploring the highly-detailed and beautiful island by land, sea or air, performing an insane range of new daredevil stunts and mastering the use of the all new grappling hook and Rico's trademark parachute.

    Just Cause 2 sets a new standard in the sandbox genre, and will be difficult to top due to its incredible graphics, expansive world, and extremely fun gameplay.

    Just Cause 2 isn't a perfect game, many of the story missions are blah and the player isn't really let into the joke of the game until late into it, but even with its very minor faults it still manages to be one of the best games I have played this year.

    Just Cause 2 can hardly be called an average game. It's a good one undermined by a selection of mediocre elements, and it's all the more frustrating this time around because Avalanche shows us glimpses of just how much fun two weeks on holiday with Rico should be. [Apr 2010, p.96]

    The harpoon/parachute concept is very enjoyable, but the repetitiveness of the missions, atrocious voice acting, and overall lack of effort that seems to have been put into just about everything except fun game mechanics left a stale taste in my mouth. Flying around causing aimless chaos is fun for a few hours, but when you realize that's the only entertaining element the game has to offer you get bored quickly.… Expand

    Amazingly repetitive and boring after the first few hours. Over zealous use of the copy paste and clone tool on the environment and the map itself is so huge as to be oppressive with miles and miles between each mission. Sling shotting around is only fun for a little bit until you notice the half assed way they implemented, the **** which happen at random points like trying to hop up onto something reliably, trying to just walk around with percision takes work. And to knock the score down even more, they're expecting 50 bucks for this repetitive, badly produced tripe.… Expand
