    This game has the worst graphics I have ever seen on any PS2 game! Vice City is 3 years old this game looks 3 years older than that! The gameplay is repetative and boring. There is just too much wrong with it to list it all. It's just embarrassingly bad, STEER CLEAR!

    This game is absolutley terrible!! The visuals are appaling and as for it being a "vast enviroment", it is just a copy and paste landscape. The gameplay and controls are even worse then the visuals. The only fun thing about this hunk of junk is the grappling hook, which wears out its welcome very fast. This game is a Mercenaries want-a-be. I hate this game with a passion and I wish that IThis game is absolutley terrible!!

I hate this game with a passion and I wish that I could take all the copies of this "game" and launch them into outer space. That would however probably cause an intergalactic war in which the Earth would be destroyed for unleashing this terrible excuse of a game!!!… Expand

    Appalling game, GTA wannabee with bad gameplay and graphics.

    The Playstation 2 has a plethora of great games in its library, unfortunately this Mercenaries clone isn't one of them. The PS2 port of Just Cause seems like an afterthought, the game was optimized with no regard for its playability and visual appeal.

    A jaw-dropping adventure that disappoints slightly thanks to a short central plot padded out with repetitive objectives. [Oct 2006, p.78]

    The ugliness of Just Cause on the PS2 also takes a lot away from the experience. If you're going to play Just Cause, you'll want to get it on one of the other platforms.

    It is a fun game with some cool ideas, just one with its share of problems. If nothing else it tries a few new things, which is more than you can say about many games. [Oct. 2006, p.93]
