    Absolute banger of a sandbox destruction game. A variety of weapons, vehicles, tools, and locations keep the destruction fresh and the grappling hook is so much fun to use for combat, traversal, and shenanigans. Overall a blast to play.

    This game provides a well-made, varied world to mess around in as well as lots of tools to just that. The game has a great variety of weaponry and vehicles. As well as a a grapple hook and an apparently infinite number of parachutes. It’s great.

    The story isn't great and the missions are nothing special but the enjoyment of this game comes solely from the sandbox.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I think of open-world games that I really enjoy, this is the first game that comes to mind. I grew up playing this on the PS3, I own an Xbox one and to tell you that I was excited when they made this game backward compatible would be an understatement. I love going through this game to discover what I missed all those years ago. If your looking for movie like action, fantastic set pieces, and overall adventure, than this game is definable for you,.......BUT there can be bugs. Let me explain. Depending on your system, some of the chaos you might get into will maybe cause a bit of a lag in your gameplay. I don't know if this certain bug happens to anyone else, but I'd like to share it. There is a part of the game called the black market which can deliver guns, vehicles, and take you anywhere you have discovered, but sometimes when you call it in, you may experience an aggravating amount of wait time. Luckily, I had already saved the game when this happened to me, so if your a person who saves often you should be fine. This only happened to me one time, but I still suggest that you keep this in mind when you buy. This game is by far worth every penny, so if you have the time, I totally recommend.… Expand

    Just Cause 2 is one of the greatest gaming experiences I've had in a long time. It is a vast improvement to the original, and it offers hours of silliness and fun.

Along the way you join up with some rebel factions and a    Just Cause 2 is one of the greatest gaming experiences I've had in a long time. It is a vast improvement to the original, and it offers hours of silliness and fun.

    You play as CIA agent Rico Rodriguez, and you have been sent to the island of Panau to destabilize a corrupt government, and deal with the evil dictator Baby Panay. Along the way you join up with some rebel factions and a character who is the most stereotypical American ever. Three out of four missions are incredibly enjoyable, and the rest can still generate some amusement. In all the campaign will last you anywhere from 20-30 hours.

    To unlock these missions you must complete the incredibly repetitive 'stronghold takeovers', which you must complete two or three of them for each faction. The objectives in each one are identical, so they get boring very quickly. To unlock the stronghold takeovers you have to cause chaos, which means exploring the absurdly huge and surprisingly diverse map, and how you cause chaos is up to you. You could steal a plane and crash it into a statue of the dictator, you could go to an enemy base, use a mini-gun and go berserk. It's up to you. Infact causing chaos in free-roam is the best part of this game in my opinion.

    Technically this game isn't as polished as, say Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty. There are an embarrassing amount of audio glitches and you can easily get stuck in buildings. However, the graphics are amazing and the aesthetics are absolutely astonishing. Everything from the water, to the weather, and the large amount of vehicles look visually stunning. This game also has some mechanics that make it stand above the rest of AAA releases. You have an awesome grappling hook, which lets you instantly attach to any surface within range. Another feature is the ability to open an infinite number of parachutes from thin air. This means you grapple to a surface, and whilst you're sailing through the air you can open your parachute, and pull yourself along the ground with the grappling hook, gaining momentum as you go. You could possibly even get across the map without ever touching the ground if you tried.

    Anyone who gave this game a low score probably has no sense of fun, and is likely to also complain about the game being unrealistic. And if you favour realism over fun then you probably think this game is awful. But if you prefer to have fun in your videogames, or if you're sick of realistic and gritty games in general, you'll love this game. I've put in 54 hours, I've completed the story and there's still 50% of the game to go. You could alternatively wait for Just Cause 3, however.    … Expand

    In order to understand Just Cause 2, you need to understand chaos. This game is all about doing sweet stunts, using the grappling hook to attach enemies to gas canisters , and send them flying to orbit to save the Philae lander that is dead on that comet.

The main tool at your disposal is the grappling hook and what fun it is, having the ability to hook any movable object to another and a bit of imagination can go a long way. There are explosive canisters that shoot directly into the air which cause hilarity when hooked to an enemy, the ability to drag boulders and smaller cars along the streets crashing them into traffic, you can even hook a plane to the runway just as it's taking off to make it crash. Any vehicle can be stolen and used including tanks, attack choppers and planes, you can even ride on the nose of a plane into a building, using the parachute to get away at the last minute. The map is huge (maybe too big and really stretches the limits of what is an acceptable size of a sandbox) and is scattered with mountains that can also provide a lot of entertainment as you try to keep control of a fast car speeding down the side of a snowy mountain. I could go on forever about the fun that can be had with this game and that is why it earns game of the year, all three contenders for game of the year have been sandbox games and the other two defiantly have much better storylines and are much better paced, structured and characterized (Just Cause 2's story being piss poor) but overall they just can't provide the fun that this game can.… Expand

Here is what disappoints me majorly; "critics" giving Just Cause 2 a(n) average game rating or a poor game rating. That disappoints me. This game is so mind blowing! I love this game; and it was the best video game ever made! Don't doubt me, just cause 2 has it boundaries and bugs, but it's nothing major nor is it game breaking. This game even beat Grand Theft Auto: V and Grand Theft Auto: V: online! Despite Just Cause 2 has no multiplayer, it's still the best game ever. The reason why Avalanche Studios never put multiplayer is because they were rushed into putting the game into submission. Just Cause 2 was suppose to be released in 2009, but Avalanche needed more time so the made it 2010 then they launched the flawless gem. Just Cause 2 (In my opinion) got the Game of a lifetime award and can not be missed! Buy Just Cause 2 TODAY!

    Just Cause 2 is a fun open world game, focused on an entertaining gimmick in the main character’s grappling hook. Unfortunately, the game has some clunky mechanics when traversing the terrain that get in the way of a tight, seamless feel. Right off the bat, would it have been so hard to include a few extra animations where Rico can pull himself up a ledge? I expect that to be includedJust Cause 2 is a fun open world game, focused on an entertaining gimmick in the main character’s grappling hook. Unfortunately, the game has some clunky mechanics when traversing the terrain that get in the way of a tight, seamless feel. Right off the bat, would it have been so hard to include a few extra animations where Rico can pull himself up a ledge? I expect that to be included in most third person games by 2010, just for the convenience of the player in a game that’s centered around the character’s acrobatics. I have trouble believing this guy, flying through the air like a **** Barnum and Bailey trapeze artist on meth, can’t jump onto a ledge that’s an extra foot or so higher than his vertical jump. Unless he’s just got bad knees. Then my bad for making him think about his bad knees.

    And while the hook and parachute diversion is fun, the game leaves you desiring the things it lacks that other similar games flaunt. All I could think of is how fun it would be if EVERYTHING was destructable, a la recent Red Faction games, or if the weapons had more “oomph” to them, like the genre-cousin Mercenaries. The only reason I give it a somewhat respectable score is the sheer number of awesome moments that can be created when not giving in to the game’s clear-cut mission progression. Jumping outside of and airwalking on the wings of a plane while a dozen enemy soldiers are firing at you is awesome. Dancing around the body of the plane while attaching two enemy helicopters together with both ends of the grappling hook is double awesome. Turning helicopter one into a deadweight with some c4, and watching momentarily unscathed helicopter two be dragged to a fiery mountain death is just the cherry on top this hollow testosterone cake.

    The game really tricks your mind into thinking it has a ton of replayability just by the size of the map, when one minute you can be down on the sandy tropical beaches, and another minute up in the snow capped mountains. Unfortunately, with all that territory to cover, the environments just feel empty; the towns, cities, and villages for the most part are just devoid of any real substance. Don’t get me wrong. There’s all sorts of goodies to find, from armor/weapon/vehicle power-ups, to new vehicles themselves, to entirely new locations. It’s just that aside from blowing up government-owned property, there’s not much else to do with this gem but progress through the seen-it-five-zillion-times story. It feels like so much work went into trying to create an original action-oriented, fluid control scheme for Rico, and his expansive playground, that not enough effort was put in to trying to figure out what tasks could be done with this awesome ability.

    I can’t argue that it isn’t fun though along the way, but I really wish I had more to do with this provided artillery. What won’t ever get old though is nudging my Filipino wife every time one of the character’s speaks and going, “sounds like you!”, even though the voices sound more like white guys doing racist impressions of Asians than actual inhabitants of southeast Asia.

    Is it worth it at the current amazon price of $18.31? I’d say no. Play something else, and wait for it to get a little cheaper. Don’t want to wait? It’s now 2014, and this came out in 2010, so it doesn’t seem you were in too big a rush to play it, anyway.    … Expand

    The game is basically a crazy sandbox game and you may or may not play the story missions, but to unlock those mission requires chaos points which you get by blowing up military bases, or a towns water supply, or propaganda of the islands sadistic dictator. this can be achieved with (but not limited to) a winch that can be attached to anything.

    This game's pretty good. Roaming around and causing chaos is fun especially when you have nice stunts and weapons. The gameplay is nice though and has good graphics. After awhile though the game got a bit repetitive because I wanted to cause as much Chaos as I can before finishing the storyline. But still this is a great game that can entertain you for a long time.
