Just Cause 2 doesn't get nearly enough credit for being awesome

Gorgeous visuals, runs like a dream and great gameplay. You can tell a lot of love went into this game. Yes?

Its not a game....its a toy!

When you understand that you will have soooooo much fun with Just Cause 2.

it seems surprising, I had it written off as another boring console game... Guess I was wrong.

Can you turn console, er, I mean auto-aim off?w4rrior17

First time I saw the map size of JC2, i was like, what the ****? It's so bloody huge.

Yeah the gross autoaim, poor vehicle control, tight FOV and crap mouse smoothing/acceleration ruined this game. It belongs on console and should of stayed there.

I'm still so bitter at the awfulness of JC1 that I refuse to consider buying this one.

Its a fun game, but could be alot better. Looks good and handles well, lots to do, but the story and cut scenes are meh.

Soooo much better then Just Cause 1 though which i hated.

Just Cause 1 = 1/10

Just Cause 2 = 7.5 or 8/10

for me personally

I loved the demo, sadly I don't have enough cash at the moment to get it. FPS_Gamer123

Unfortunately I played the demo too much and by the time the full game came out I was already kinda sick of it.

I honestly have no fun with this game. I have had it for a couple of weeks and played like 3 hours and have no interest in returning.millerlight89

True story.

Stop playing games.

I really want to buy JC2 but dont know if I should get it for PC or consoles, are there any mods or tweaks yet improving the game?

It is pretty good.

Can't say I am liking it as much as Red Faction Guerrilla as far as action sandbox games go yet; mainly because of the combat and hell, to be honest - it is less chaotic crazy.

I'm enjoying it, even though it could use some polish.gamerguy845

I think that sums up my view. The game is a lot of fun, but it could really do with some tightening up in places (vehicle controls at lower frame rates, an altimeter for aircraft, buying weapons...). None of that spoils the game, though.

That's interesting about the price. The game wasn't even on my radar until I saw it on sale for $32.99 US on Newegg on an e-mail ad and I had to buy it for that price. Glad I did.

I loved it.. very satisfying combat.. IMO best sandbox game I have ever played :D

If the whole game is like the demo, then I could never buy it. I need some direction in my games. Wandering around wrecklessly is ok for optional game material, but not as the main premise for an entire game.

another reason why its awesome

wow are you sure the analogy is right, because far cry 2 did not seem that big to me.dakan45

Please dont post this...there are some wierd choices here and I dont trust it fully since they took a third of WoWs world for example since they do not show Outlands and Northrend. Also Paradise being so big makes me think that ingame size has nothing to do with real world size, who knew...

Everything is great besides the voice acting.

^ Nice review.

I'm loving this game...nearly 70 hours in. The developers gave you a world to run (or drive, or fly) around in and have fun. The game delivers fun in spades. It's not perfect, but I'm having so much fun with it I don't care about the minor shortcomings.

Daytona_178

exactly, the game is just so insanely fun

and when you get tired of blowing stuff up, just open up your 'chute and slingshot around the island for a bit...very relaxing.

I'll also use square miles.

GTA 3 - 5.76

GTA SA - 13.9

Oblivion - 16

Farcry 2 - 31

WoW - there isn't a reported official value only estimates and I don't really trust those because nobody actually bothered to measure it all

Burnout Paradise - 26 (we are talking about the game world here not streets, maybe you should tell that to the one that made it possible for you to post that image, devious742)

Just Cause 2 - 400

Test Drive Unlimited - 597

etc

Anyway JC 2 is huge there's no denying it :P. Still it isn't the biggest game of the year, Test Drive 2 is, Oahu (597) + Ibiza (220.5).

That's only the first map of Far Cry 2, so it's twice as big as in the picture.
