After some rather pointless cutscenes, you get into the action, starting with a brief tutorial on how to navigate, shoot, use items, and use the grappling hook. When you start the game, there’s a couple cut scenes of Rico walking into a dark room with a woman named Bolo Santosi… And c’mon, that cannot be the name her mother gave her. Instead of olive drab, they went with a look that feels a bit more like Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter than Just Cause. The first thing I noticed was that the UI was a lot more “modern” looking that the previous utilitarian UI from the first Just Cause. The game offered a wonderful, if not slightly glitchy physics engine, and, on the 360, had some great graphics for the time.įast forward to last night The Just Cause 2 demo finally hit on the Playstation Network! After a particularly long download, a sandwich, and a Red Bull, I was ready. In fact, I didn’t even pay much attention to the story I was too busy blowing shit up, parachuting, blowing more shit up, and skyjacking helicopters. If I remember correctly, there was something in there about a possible WMD, but it’s been way too long. Once you got to the island, you began a regime-changing mission to overthrow the island’s dictator, Salvador Mendoza. I really don’t think Eidos could have made a more “extreme” sounding name without naming him “Machete”, but I digress.

Just Cause parachuted players onto a tropical island called San Esperito, where you, the player, controlled a CIA Black Ops agent by the name of Rico Rodriguez. Offering 392 square miles of tropical terrain to explore, fly through, skydive, and blow up, Just Cause received many high praises, and, as of April 23, 2009, went on to sell more than 1 million copies. In a world of Grand Theft Autos, Saint’s Rows, and even Simpsons Hit & Run, Just Cause was, to many gamers, a wonderful deliverance.

Just Cause was a game released on September 22nd, 2006 for PC and several consoles. It can be used for any reason, at any time.

The full game, whose open world will span a whopping 400 square miles, is scheduled for a North American cross-platform launch on March 23. You can also strap bad guys to propane tanks that fly rapidly through the air when shot, like so: Hunt down and assassinate one of the game’s 50 military colonels devastate military bases, bio fuel chambers, government infrastructure and more hijack tuk tuks, military 4x4s, armoured vehicles, mopeds, helicopter gunships, light aircraft, mini vans and numerous other military and civilian vehicles freefall from desert outcrops or from burning planes at 20,000 feet and unlock one full, multi-stage mission, traversing the mountains to a heavily fortified government radar station and ending in an unforgettable desert car chase. The demo’s desert setting includes mountains, villages, military bases, and plenty of vehicles, and Avalanche Studios has prepared a nice cross-section of activities: Packed in all those bytes is a 35-square-mile open world through which players can grapple, parachute, and shoot to their heart’s content, at least until the 30-minute time limit runs out. This is a 1.3GB download, so be sure you have a fast Internet connection or some sort of backup activity planned. Sure enough, you can now grab the PC version on Steam.

Shacknews pointed out last week that the Just Cause 2 demo would arrive for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on Thursday. PCs get their fair share of first-person shooters, but third-person, open-world titles haven’t deserted the platform-far from it.
