Just Cause puts up a good fight considering its huge game world but the lack of a big enough fun factor is a problem -

Just Cause, is easily a fun game to look forward to playing since, it has players jumping out of cars and into the parachuting almost everywhere. I agree with gamespot, this is not, a game for the realist, although I doubt their are that many anyway, since most games are not built on realism or at least not entirely. STORY: In Just Cause, you are Rico Rodriguez who is a tough guy like Antonia Bandera’s character, who works for im pretty sure the CIA, and so dos his friend Sheldon and Kane a woman with a little history with him but you do not ever know of much of their past. You are sent to San Esperito a dream Island, which sure dos remind you of Cuba, "tisk tisk” and which is magically a beautiful tropical paradise that is a great acheivment in making a GIANT real world paradise. You are sent to San Esperito to kill their dictator Salazar Mendoza, a corrupt El Presdente who is in league with a drug cartel and many other bad things. You have 3 kinds of friends on this Island and they can all help you out by giving you safe houses among many things. The Peoples revolutionary army and the Rival drug cartel, the Riojas, and your 2 friends, who send you your own agency safe houses, around the Islands.

ENTERTAINMENT: Just Cause provides good amount of satisfying moments, which, has you jumping out of airplanes that our in the clouds. Falling from the sky only to jump onto a helicopters tail, then taking control of it and jumping out again and firing a grappling hook onto it which you narrowly control it before it explodes onto the ground then, jumping out again on the tail of it and jumping off it to and free falling from the sky onto a moving car, which u take control of and speed off a cliff and parachute onto a speedboat and into the sunset! That is the kind of excitement Just Cause provides. Now, don't get me wrong its fun from the beginning but that kind of thing gets old pretty fast. Because the only thing you can really do is those things I mentied, although fun there’s no real excitement since the A.I. enemies and citizens are stupid.

PROS: A tropical paradise, which feels all natural, Great variety of vehicles and cool stunts, and I can't really think of any other great things other then the Main Mission and the stunts.

CONS: It dos not have very many things to do; you will find yourself wondering around for secret vechies, that our scattered across the world, yet even that seems boring. The only real fun thing about this game is the Main mission, which is quite short by itself, although nice scenery it is not very graphical, you feel at times like your in a old generational game, but with a huge world that look like it has beautiful views yet are not very next generation like, No multiplayer and the sound is not that great either, even the added factors of enjoyment like the never ending parachutes don't make this game better then good and that slowly becomes more and more disastrous which make this game hard to like.

OVERALL: A lot of Time can be spent just flying in a helicopter over countless landscapes which seem very wasted, other then completing the main mission, which is pretty short and doing stunts all over the islands, you feel very bored after awhile because, other the main mission and the stunts, which even those are not that great, feel like a game that was meant to be better but rushed out before it even gave it more side missions and no multiplayer or really big replay value after you finish the game. So I would recommend a rent at the most, because this game is ambitious but it still goes wrong in so many areas that it’s unbelievable to me that it comes at such a high price for the 360.
