    It is fun to destroy enemy buildings but other things like collecting these cases is really frustrating. Can be fun, but not always.

    I remember that I played this game long after its release. It guaranteed me hours of fun. Great game in the open world, with many side quests.

    Just Cause 2 is a great gaming experience. This is a true open world experience, with many freedoms in the game play. Flying and driving were well done, and the story was funny a good break from some of my other games.

The game can be mindless fun to quite a test on your skills, depending on your difficulty settings, though was not a truly taxing challenge. The challenges were the hardest part for me, but watching guides on it made it far easier.

    While this game has been a great experience, I had an internet outage during my gameplay, and glad that this game worked without being connected for many hours. This is a concern that I have about Just Cause 3, from what I have been reading. I will soon find out if this will be an issue.    … Expand

    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

    This game is amazing, hasn't aged very well. Still well worth a play in 2021.

    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.

    in my humble opinion the best just cause there is, it brings very good elements in gameplay and the best runs on weak pc.

    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.

    Quite empty game that gets boring and repetive real fast. Waste of time.    … Expand

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

    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

    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.

    - Sidequests very diverse and cool to do, despite not interfering with anything in the progress of the game.
    - 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

    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.

    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.

    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.
