Just Cause PC Review

This is a fun game! Has little problems in the gameplay which is annoying at times but it is okay! Go for it if you are thinking about buying it.

Beautiful

just think gta but on a 250,000 acre scale and instead of a city in sections, its a whole mountainous rainforest and jungle that consists of multiple islands large and small, with multiple cities. the main character being a mexican version of 007 with all the gadgets and machine gun/rocket mounted vehicles. the graphics are beautiful (mostly because of bloom) with breathtaking views and fireworkish explosions (WEEEEEE! FIRE!) and everything is opened up right from the start so you can go anywhere with anything you see and approach missions however you want. doing missions just unlock more vehicles (89 in all) and tons of weapons. this game succeeds in alot of places that gta fell short of, but unfortunatly isn't as stable and solid as gta. one of the biggest things in this game is poppin' your parachute at any time if you get enough momentum/speed going which makes great getaways if your being chased by cops before your car explodes. also, you will be playing this game for a while (303 missions in all) which in some cases isn't necessarily a good thing. so i'm sure when you are finished you will be sick of it lol. the stunts you can pull are pretty sweet, ill give you an example:

cops are hot on your tail and your car is on it's last leg and your headed for a cliff, you flip out of the drivers seat on to the roof and as the car is airborn off the cliff (with the cops behind it) you pull your parachute and glide down to the ocean (the helecopter still tailing closely behind you whilst shooting its machine guns at you) speedboats and jetskies are havin' some fun in the sun below you. as a boat passes underneath you drop from your parachute onto the driver and kick him off the boat and take over. you try to lose the copter through windy rivers but to no avail. finally you just give up and pull your chute at top speed with the momentum flinging you high into the air, just high enough to jump on the copters tail and highjack it in mid-air! soaring high above the island through cloud-layers you decide to go for a skydive to your destination....

not to mention you have a grappling hook gun that latches onto to everything except people and stable objects so you can go parasailing any time. the island is enjoyed better with a birds eye view anyways right? the side missions involve taking over villages (killing people and blowing stuff up) and then lead to escort, stealing stuff, assasinations, and other various things but are random to a point. the more you do, you climb in rank with the gang unlocking safe-houses and such. the main missions being the funnest. i can just go on and on about this game so i'll stop now.

Decent but nothing special

The game is a GTA clone lacking the same depth in the missions but I still enjoyed playing it. There are not that many missions but you do control a decent number of different vehicles. Taking over the different points was a little too easy (especially with a helicopter) and repetitive but it was still a pretty fun game. A little buggy and I had some graphical issues but overall a pretty decent game for the price.

Such a wonderful location, but so repetitive

I think the core of the game only has a dozen or so missions. The box says it has over 300 missions, which is almost a lie. What it has are maybe 15-20 meaningless side missions set in 20-30 different locations. I thought they had really thought up a nifty way of generating missions but they just cut 'n pasted the same ones all over the island.

I thought the views were remarkable. Worthy of a better game. I experienced a few hiccups and lags, but I'm used to that on my sub-prime machine.

Really, try to get this game for under $15, which is what I feel it's worth.
