It's pure fun, the freedom you have is incredible, the graphics are stunning (most of the time) and you just can't let the gamepad down. The first time I played for 6 hours continuously, exploring the islands and wow-ing evey minute.The missions can sometimes be repetitive but fun nevertheless. I can't believe that there are people giving it low(0 even) ratings. Try this game, it's worth it! Good job Square Enix!… Expand

Don't go in expecting a heartfelt story and you won't be dissapointed. The good weapon selection, huge variety of vehicles, and numerous different combat tactics (grappling hook is awesome in and out of firefights) make for an entertaining title that'll last you a week or two.… Expand

   "Just Cause 2" is a fun, fun, fun with an emphasis on fun. The game nails its gimmick, the grappling hook. Thinking of games with a gimmicky"Just Cause 2" is a fun, fun, fun with an emphasis on fun. The game nails its gimmick, the grappling hook. Thinking of games with a gimmicky weapon, the grappling hook in "Just Cause 2" is up there with the Portal Gun. The grappling hook is just that good. It is so good in fact, that it turns a bad game good.
   
   Before I mention what is fun, let me tell you what is not fun. Enemy a.i. with x-ray binocular vision. You need a sniper rifle to accurately fire off a shot at the edge of the draw distance. The enemy a.i. can not only spot you instantaneously, they can also accurately hit you with machine gun fire. They can also spot you through foliage and through buildings. Fortunately, this game not geared toward stealth. The manual says to dodge and find cover to avoid gunfire. The developer forgot to actually make either of those two options work. In a pinch, your best bet is to either run away or lay waste to your enemies with a machine gun.
   
   The machine gun is the only good weapon in the game. Forget head shots. Forget stealthy sniper kills, the game doesn't have stealth anyway. Forget creative use of the grappling hook. While you are setting up grappling hook kills, your enemy is drilling you down with 100% accurate machine gun fire. Just put all your weapons part into the machine gun and go crazy.
   
   The other not fun piece of the game is searching for things to blow up and crates full of weapon and vehicle parts. Sometimes, too much is too much. Searching for this stuff is just too much. Fortunately, most of the locations are so similar, as in copy and paste similar, that finding stuff becomes second nature. On the down side, most of the locations are copy and paste similar.
   
   Now the fun stuff. Grappling enemies to just about anything is fun. Helicopters, jets that are taking off, cars, trees, and each other. You can pull them down to their deaths, and also also up to their deaths (head injury alert!). You can pull down statues, lift vehicles and objects, and create utter mayhem. The grappling alone is great, but the developers paired it with a backpack full of infinite parachutes, letting you take off any time you desire. Brilliant.
   
   Driving and flying is also fun. This game gives you access to attack helicopters with machine guns and rockets and then lets you lose in a world of objects you can destroy. My complaint here, not enough stuff to destroy. You can't for instance, destroy whole buildings. How about Frost Engine style destructables? Planes and jets are also fun, but too difficult to control and hit ground targets with. Perhaps if the developers had pointed the weapons down a bit, then my jets wouldn't collide with the earth so much. Tanks are simply wonderful toys.
   
   The grappling hook makes the game here, and that's why the score is 8 out of 10. Otherwise, the shoddy a.i., limited desctructables, and cookie cutter design would make for a terrible game. Lets hope for a better "Just Cause 3".… Expand

JC2 is one of the largest open world game in console history. everything is eye candy in this game. missions felt a bit repetitive collecting suitcases took almost two months. completed this game 100% in 3 months. the only downfall i had to dump every jet i purchased as i could never land any jet on the ground waste of hard earned money starting again from checkpoint is frustrating. overall 8 is my rating… Expand

   I was thoroughly disappointed with this title. Now, I was disappointed with the first game as well, because it was so unfocused. But this I was thoroughly disappointed with this title. Now, I was disappointed with the first game as well, because it was so unfocused. But this game really ticked me off because it seemed to glorify that aspect, as if each and every scenario was mocking me for giving the series another chance. I've seen a lot of comments praising the fact that this game is really nothing more than non-stop pretty explosions, ridiculous stunts, and gratuitous violence. The first two would be considered a plus if they weren't so common and some more thought was put into their use. As it is, this is a game for the shallow, for those who don't read anything that isn't assigned to them or part of the latest electronic messaging fad. All pretty colours with no substance underneath. A shame, really. It could have been great.… Expand
