[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] Well this is gamespot :P But I dunno see what all the fuss was about, the demo was extremely meh for me

Yes, I realize that, lol. I know that only Gamespot reviews count here when it comes to whether a game flops or not, but some of us do like to read more than just Gamespot's reviews. That is why people are always posting other reviews. At any rate, it is not a flop here anyway.:P

*Gets bullhorn*

TEH LOGIC!11!1!1111!:P

[QUOTE="tirralirra"]Didnt improve enough on the first, don't buy. I was really expecting this to be very well polished and balanced. Instead, it's just a pretty game which you pis about on from time to time.Skittles_McGee

I think these quotes from the ZTGD review sums it up rather nicely:

"Just Cause 2 is the epitome of how to take a great idea and perfect it. When the original game landed back in 2006 it was chock full of great ideas that simply fell flat. The grappling hook and stunt mechanics were unrefined and overall the game simply just wasn't that much fun. With the sequel the development team has spent time taking all of these elements and crafting them to perfection. What we end up with is an open-world game that manages to evolve the genre while at the same time bolstering nearly limitless amounts of fun thanks to these mechanics. Just Cause 2 is a subscriber to the game theory of creating 30 seconds of fun, and multiplying it throughout the entire experience."

"Just Cause 2 is what I consider the Terminator 2 of videogames. A sequel that contained all that made the original so good, without all the boring and unrefined portions. If you played the original and thought it got old too quickly, you are not alone. But that is no reason not to pick up this amazing sequel. This is by far the most fun I have ever had with an open-world game, and one I will likely be spending plenty of time with for a while to come. My only hope is that maybe someday they can add in co-op or just give you the ability to thrown in another player for free-roam mode, as that could easily be the most fun you are allowed to have legally. 2010 delivers yet another must-own game, and thy name be Just Cause 2."

Game$pot won't release the PS3 version cause it's worse, how much is $ony paying them not to post the lower score?BlackCat69er

I said 7.5-8.0. Glad they made a great game, hope it sells well.

A review of Just Cause 2 doesn't really need a score, or text to justify it. It only needs this:

Overrated. I agree with edge, again.

The game is awesome. There's one problem however. The demo was a bit too good :) I played it more than some full games :) And my hunger for explosive destruction is sort of satisfied ...

reading the review is seriously making me consider this game. The score is solid, so no alarm bells are ringing, and it really sounds like a huge package of fun with some minor flaws in it. Just sounds like a blast. Thing is atm I think I´ll go for ME2 first, and with that and my other games that I´m still playing I probably wouldnt have time for this anyway. Maybe in a month or 2, I can get used for the price knocked down a bit, or just buy it if I got the time to play it

meh, fun game to mess around with. i hate the shooting. so bad

Better score than I thought it get. Might have to buy it now. :D

Good score I loved parachuting in the demo.

Great score as I expected and a good eview from Kevin. Mine will arrive in mailbox today.

I'm going on a limb and saying he's trying to talk like Morrigan (Dragon Age). Now why Stevo wants to imitate a woman is anyone's guess >_>Skittles_McGee

Oh the hawtness. Close though, Moogle, very close!

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]Aye, I predicted as much. Now where is the PC review? :xHahadouken

Really surprised ... thought the controls would guarantee nothing higher than a 7.5

[QUOTE="Bigboi500"]

[QUOTE="Midnightshade29"] Aren't all pokemon games the same game with a few different monsters? How else do they put out a gazillion different games at the same time with a different color in the title? Just saying go look at past games to get your score. smartcriminal

The gunplay seems meh but the epic fun level looks pretty high. Definitely a rent if not a buy.

Heh, looked mediocre to me but I guess this means I'll have to look into it more and maybe try a demo.

EDIT: Gameplay footage has made me decide this game looks very fun :P.

i bought it today. its really really fun. a solid 8.5 for me

Good score, haven't heard much about this game until now.

RDR will be my sandbox game of choice though I plan on picking JC2 sometime later in the year. Good score.
