About This Game

Dive into an adrenaline-fuelled free-roaming adventure. As agent Rico Rodriguez, your orders are to find and kill your friend and mentor who has disappeared on the island paradise of Panau. There, you must cause maximum chaos by land, sea and air to shift the balance of power. With the unique grapple and parachute combo, BASE jump, hijack and create your own high-speed stunts. With 400 square miles of rugged terrain and hundreds of weapons and vehicles, Just Cause 2 defies gravity and belief.
  • UNIQUE VERTICAL GAMEPLAY - Take to the air like no other game. Experience total aerial freedom with the unique parachute and dual grapple
  • UNBELIEVABLE ADRENALINE-FUELLED STUNTS - Free fall, base jump, vehicle surf, para sail, skydive, grapple, slingshot, leap between vehicles, hang from helicopters, scale buildings. The impossible is within your grasp.
  • UPGRADED DUAL GRAPPLE - Your best tool is now a weapon. Fire two shots with the grapple hook and attach unwilling enemies to high-speed vehicles, hang them upside down from buildings, tether objects in mid air. The possibilities are as vast as your imagination.
  • DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF PANAU - Explore the island paradise; from sprawling cities, secluded beaches and towering mountain peaks – more than 400 square miles of your own personal playground.
  • EXPERIENCE TRUE FREEDOM - Hundreds of objectives can be completed in any way or order that you choose. When it’s time for a break from Agency business, kick back and enjoy all the attractions that Panau has to offer.
  • MASSIVE SELECTION OF VEHICLES - Catch air on a high-speed dirt bike, race across the sea in a power boat, or fire a spread of rockets from an attack chopper – more than 100 land, sea and air vehicles are yours for the taking.

Just Cause is a lot like Far cry. Except it knows it's a game. And it knows it's meant to be fun. And Explosions are fun. As are infinite parachutes on demand. As is a grappling hook that barely adheres to basic physics. And cars that become warheads should you jump out of them whilst they're moving. This game is fun.

Just Cause 2 is one of my only large open-world games that I own. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game. I'll start with the pros and cons.

Pros:
- A lot of stuff is destructible
- Explosions
- Mods
- Guns
- Decent controls
- A lot of freedom

And now the cons:
- Gameplay is eh
- Controls are also pretty eh (I know I listed this as a pro but they're pretty much good and bad)
- Freefalling is hard to control
- The game crashes a lot.

The final con is something that seems to have been an issue with Just Cause 2 running on newer systems. A lot of people, including myself, are experience crashing. It is thought that it's because of a DirectX issue, but no one has come to a complete conclusion as many different things seem to fix the crashing while others are continuing to have the issue (like myself). It seems this games age is starting to show in it's compatibility with newer systems, and I would suggest not buying it unless you are aware of this, as it could happen. For me at least, nothing has fixed it, so at this point we would have to wait and see if the developers fix the issue.

I would recommend this game, but the crashing is too commonplace for me to give it a recommended.

Awesome game if you just wanna do whatever you want! Great fun for low end PCs so worth every penny. If you're thinking of getting it I strongly urge you to go for it.

este juego por su parte es divertido pero se cierra solo.

algunas misiones no se pueden pasar si ya completaste algunas ubicaciones.

hay muchas estructuras invicibles en algunas partes del mapa.

y de vez en cuando tu personaje se traba, o se queda atascado de la nada.

Just Cause 2 is a 2010 open world action-adventure video Game developed by Avlanche Studios, published by Eidos Interactiveand distributed by Square Enix.

The Gameplay
Is split up between freeform exploration including cars and bikes, planes, boats, helicopters and skydiving (with unlimited butt parachutes for paragliding purposes, complements of Uncle Sam) and a little bit more structured missions with objectves that need to be checked off before the mission can proceed towards completion. How you go about these objectives (neutralize targets, rescue VIP's, capture locations or vehicles) is often left up to you, provided you don't stray too far from a designated mission area. Weapons are multitudinous and varied; your standard assault rifles, pistols and submachine guns as well as rocket launchers, grenades, triggered explosives, and the more exotic hookshot weapon which allows you to attach opponents to the ceiling, a vehicle, or each other, as well as move around quickly in both horizontal and vertical movement.

The Story
Revolves around Rico Rodriguez, spy and mercenary hired by the US (off the record, of course). Your job: Cause chaos and destruction across the tiny island nation of Panau, whose new president Baby Panay (Yes, seriously) has started to isolate the nation and build up the Panauan military. This has caused the purposely nebulous Agency to be called in, to destabilize the nation and install a puppet for a head of state. It is all utterly ridiculous, stock Bond novel stuff with lots more explosions and thankfully less Bond-babe-bedding. The fact that all of this terrorism carried out in the name of the US turns out to all be because of the newly discovered and massive Panau oil fields, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. All of that blood on your hands, and it was simply to protect national fuel interests.

From me 9/10

It's a great game, really big.
It's greatly optimized and runs on my 2012 Dell laptop with maxed out graphics and 1600x900 resolution, with a smooth frame rate (don't know exactly but 40+).

Frankly I can't tell if this game is for real or whether its one great big ♥♥♥♥ing joke devised by Activision, but let's start with the basics of why this catastrophically miserable disaster is the biggest piece of ♥♥♥♥ available for purchase on Steam.

First off your primary weapon is grappling hook, they tried to subvert the open world shooter genre by having this be the case, but all it did was subvert in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me off!!! Absolute ♥♥♥♥ing train-wreck and your character Vito or whatever his name is thinks he's it but he really isn't. The missions you have to go through are just languorous and have zero reward to them. In one mission after completing it you unlock some crappy jeep. TELL ME, WHY WOULD I WANT A JEEP WHEN I HAVE A ♥♥♥♥ING GRAPPLING HOOK? STUPID GAME, DEVELOPERS WERE OBVIOUSLY NOT THINKING STRAIGHT, OBVIOUSLY ADDED THE GRAPPLING HOOK WHEN THE GAME WAS NEARLY FINISHED AT THE LAST MINUTE.

About the base raids, you simply cannot stealth them. The game invites you to stealth them and silently take out the oil tanks without alerting any guards, but you will never accomplish it. Blowing up the oil tank alert all nearby enemies in the facility and they immediately know your whereabouts and will open fire on you with their 100% accuracy weapons.

Avoid this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game like the god-damn plague! 1/10

This game is amazing, I finally completed the storyline and I have still only finished 28.60% of the overall game after 50 hours of play time! The graphics are good, the gameplay is smooth, the story is fantastic, the voice acting is beautiful, and the one liners are perfect. 10/10 You need this in your life.
