    Controls are a mess story is nonexistent just chaos is a better title for this game series. Only good thing i can say about the game is it has a really big map that you might enjoy side seeing.

    It was pretty good game. It was impressing what possibilities had main character - I liked a lot fact that with my super line I was able to move eveywhere where I want. History wasn't soo important

    Это, безусловно, лучше чем первая часть, но все же, по моему скромному мнению, это местами кринжовый, лютый проходняк.

    Хороший симбиоз геймплейного веселья GTA и визуальной атмосферы Far Cry с вкраплениями политической сатиры.
    Игра не лишена сюжета, но он коротковат, исправляет ситуацию множество миссий группировок. Есть огромный открытый мир, но он не так проработан как хотелось бы.
    Так же имеется большое количество побочных активностей, но которые никак не вплетены в происходящее в игровом мире. Если    Хороший симбиоз геймплейного веселья GTA и визуальной атмосферы Far Cry с вкраплениями политической сатиры.

    Так же имеется большое количество побочных активностей, но которые никак не вплетены в происходящее в игровом мире.
    Если вы тот человек, который любит пройти с начала одну сюжетную игру, а только потом переходит к другой, то по отношению к этой вы должны изменить свое мнение. Советую иногда делать перерывы от этой игры или совмещать с чем-то другим, в том смысле, что кроме крутого геймплея JC2 особо нечего предложить и вам иногда будет наскучивать летать на крюке и все бомбить.
    Хорошо, что разработчики осознают недостатки своего проекта и в игре есть ачивка за 75% прохождение, но нет за 100%, есть достижение за собирательство 150 предметов группировок, а их 300 и тд.
    Так же уточняю и рекомендую: полное прохождение считается, когда вы выбили практически все ачивки. Далее рекомендую накачать модов (чем я и буду заниматься) и ещё на большем веселе разносить игровой мир.
    И старайтесь воспринимать проект больше как геймплейный и безбашенный аттракцион, нежели сюжетное и драматическое произведение.
    Так же, как отдельное приложение, к игре прилагается Multiplayer Mod.

    - Chalenges with fun and challenging cars, planes and parachutes

    Cons:
    - It crashed and closed all the time until I disabled Decals and Bokeh Filters. After discovering this it ran smooth with everything at max.
    - Too tiring to complete all the settlements (to find out later that it's also useless lol)

    The game is excellent and fun, but I just found the amount of settlements to be excessive to reach 100%, which by the way only reached 99%.    … Expand

    good game insane destruction plus what kills him and what you are forced to do very boring side quests before you can go to the main ones, the game's fast travel is also horrible..

    In this game, you have to play without worrying about the story because its presentation and the story it tells are disgraceful, but the gameplay is great, the open world is great, especially the open world is huge, it's nice to visit it, but after a while it can faint. But I think it's a game that can be played even now.

    The best JC part ever! The world presents in that game is so beautiful, here are climate change zones: from the hot desert to the cold winter, and even a huge city! But don't think that that kind of the huge world can be a boring, absolutely not! You can find there a lot of side missions etc,. so it will not be boring you!

    On of the decent classics game that has ever been made!

    The gunplay is terrible with slow movement besides using the grapple. The traversal speed across the map is very slow. It is made more noticeable by how big the map is. Ammo is always in short supply. 6/10. The crosshair is obtrusive to gunplay. One cannot see what they are shooting at.

It features Rico Rodriguez, a major operative of the fictional Agency who arrives at Panau (a fictional dystopian island nation in Maritime Southeast Asia) to overthrow dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay and confront former mentor Tom Sheldon. The gameplay involves Rico fighting hostile militants with guns and a grappling hook, enabling players to tether objects to each other and slingshot into the air with a parachute. Just Cause 2 introduces the Chaos System, in which players must complete missions and destroy government property on Panau for Chaos points. These points are essential for story progression.… Expand

    Devs should fix their game instead of joining political flashmob. Closing purchases of your products for people of Belarus and Russia is antidemocratic and should be punished.

    Musics : 6/10
    The sounds and music of the game were good, the only reason I got a score, the better the map, the better the song or the radio.
    Details : 10/10
    The details of the explosions and the physics of the cars and the vulnerability of the city were nothing short of JUST CAUSE 3.
    Game play : 6/10
    The gameplay becomes very repetitive after a short time and Rico has no mechanism other than one.
    Variety : 9/10
    The number and variety of competitions is high and has the largest map in the JC series
    Characterization : 9/10
    There are better character builds than JC 4, that's easy to say, but Rico's look is very weak.
    Optimization : 10/10
    Very smooth and clean without dropping frames.
    Bugs : It was seen sometimes.
    Note : The multiplayer part of the game is empty.
    Description : If you are looking for an ideal and standard JC, be sure to play.
    Overall score : 6.2/10
    You will definitely like the JC series. I recommend it.    … Expand

    Guns feel like toy guns. They have no recoil, sounds suck ass and ammo is very limited.

    Car handling is garbage. They breakdown easily and it is just not fun using cars.

    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]

    Just Cause 2 is a sequel that outdoes the original with gripping gameplay, exquisite visuals and a variety of missions that will keep you playing longer than you might expect. If you're an action fan, you need this.
