Nov 6, 2011Just Cause 2 deserves more credit than it gets. This free roam is so large that it is nearly impossible to explore every inch of area in the game. Despite a couple repetitive missions and settlements, there is lots to do and it is not a problem when it comes to destroying things.
-
Nov 9, 2011The best free-roaming game I've ever played. A slightly weak plot, but this is more than made up for in the vast map and outstanding amount of weapons and vehicles available to you

Feb 24, 2012Just cause 2 is one the best games this gen! I dont care what people say.. But this game is AMAZING! The story and graphics are top-notch... i gave it 10/10
-
Apr 6, 2012The plot may be completely nonsensical, cheap and poor acted out, but Just Cause 2 more than makes up for the silly plot by providing the most fun any open-world game in recent history has.
The possibilities to explore the Island of Panau, torture civilians and inflict chaos are endless.
A great game that shouldn't be missed by anyone. -

DarylS.Apr 27, 2010This game is visually stunning,one of the best so far.Once you get used to the controls;the possibilities as to how you want to wreak havok and cause chaos is phenominal.There is so much to do and blow up in this game.One of the most enjoyable games I have played so far.

JakeF.Apr 7, 2010This is one of the best games that i have ever played. the massive open environment is well designed and can keep you searching for hours. the ability to connect any two objects together is just pure awesomeness. this is easily the best game made this year and kicks the crap out of its predecessor.

ZacH.Mar 23, 2010This is what gta5 should look in the coming months, the sandbox environment is lushous contrast of beauty and the scale of this would match or better red faction in the environment locations such as ice/snowy too tropical landscapes, i had enjoyed this demo much more than gta4 and other sandboxs games including farcry 2. And i haven't even started with Gameplay! oh my goodness!

MarkR.Apr 16, 2010Brilliant, very fun gameplay, a huge amount of things to do, massive varied world map to explore, desert, city, snowy mountains, and a tropical rainforest, a total of 368 locations to destroy, 104 vechicles, with more being added through downloadable content, easily the best sandbox game out yet.

JamesDApr 17, 2010Just Cause 2 is a fantastic breath of fresh air for a sandbox as energetic as it is. This is truly a playground of destruction.

GregK.Apr 23, 2010Huge open world fun. Easy to use controls. Only problem is calling in the black market helicopter but that's easy to get pass when the game is this much fun.

Sep 9, 2010Just Cause 2 is an amazing feat in something that some games have been lacking lately: sheer fun.I clocked over 80 hours of game play and still felt like I hadn't scratched the surface of beautiful Panau. Mind not the simple and shallow story. The game-play mechanics and graphics assure hours of fun and exploration.

Nov 28, 2010Oh. My. God. - What else can I say? This is my game of 2010, it has a spectacular map size and great set piece gaming. One problem I must add is the Storyline, its a bit weak, but, for a massive open world game I am in no way saddened. Buy this now.

Dec 1, 2013To this day, I still haven't reached 100% completion. Yes, the game is THAT huge. A lot of work has bee put into this game. It's just fun. As for the horrible story? Well, to me, the story was so bad it was good. Lots of stuff to do, driving, flying, skydiving, etc. etc. etc.

Apr 4, 2012Just Cause 2 is madness. Pure madness.
You can jump onto a flying helicopter, take control of it, then jump into a jet fighter to land onto a huge disco in midair. A disco zeppelin, that is.
Story is pretty much non-existent and some sidequests get repetitive, but the engine and visuals are great. You can do pretty much anything in this game. -

Feb 9, 2013This game is great it puts you in the shoes of Rico and gives you the chance to just blow crap up and kill anyone in sight which will never get old for me the story is absolutely horrible though the main story will give you about 5 hours yes i just said that 5 hours but the tons of side mission will let you forgive that.

May 25, 2013So much left out potential. What if JC2 had multiplayer on the console, wildlife, radio stations & destructible environments? It would've been one of the best sandbox games ever But it's fun, addictive and beautiful to look at. And the story is full of epic missions. 8.0: YEAH!
-
May 16, 2013Awesome game!! If you were a big fan of Mercenaries 2 like i was then this is the game for you! The action is crazy, the graphics are beautiful and the world you have to tear up is absolutely huge!! Just don't come expecting an award winning story!

Apr 5, 2014I have spent hours on this game just exploring and it does not matter about the story and character development this game was made for free-roaming and killing random people and I still have to explore more

Mar 11, 2015If I had to describe this game to someone, I would tell them it's basically Grand Theft Auto on a much grander scale. When I finished the main plot, I was still only 30% complete of everything this game has to offer. If you're looking for the best game to keep you occupied for months, or if you just like blowing stuff up, Just Cause 2 is for you.

Nov 1, 2017Just Cause 2 es un juegazo. Increiblemente divertido, no te podes despegar de la consola hasta terminarlo. Hasta dar vueltas dos horas por el mapa es entretenido.

Jan 11, 2020The voice acting it's really bad, the story is simple, but the fact u can destroy a lot of things, drive a lot of vehicles (land, sea, air) makes it really fun.
For me the score it's 7.5 -

Nov 9, 2022Videojuego para hacer el gamberro y pasarlo bien pegándole tiro a todo y todos. Gran sistema de explosiones y destrucción del escenario.
-
Jun 13, 2023Best game of the franchise, before it got completely nuts. You got fast action and a lot of fire without sensory overload. Overall rating: 8.8.
-
Jun 27, 2022Rarely does a game come by that offers as much fun as Just Cause 2 does. Even if you ignore the poor story, you'll have a ton of fun.

Games Master UKAll things considered, Just Cause 2 is comfortably the best "zany" sandboxer out there, and a brilliantly improved sequel to the great-if-flawed original. [Apr 2010, p.60]
-
One of the most enjoyable sandboxes for players to experiment in this side of Grand Theft Auto. [Issue#204, p.86]
-
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]
