Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Rico Rodriguez is looking to start another revolution and he's not using the usual diplomatic channels. This time it's the fictional South Pacific island of Panau that needs liberating, both from the dictator Baby Panay and Rico's ex-boss Tom Sheldon.

Start a revolution and enjoy a spot of skydiving too
Boats, planes and cars are all yours to commandeer
Your grappling hook makes hitching a lift easy
Just like last time this is not going to be a quiet revolution

A mix of Grand Theft Auto and Mercenaries, once you're parachuted onto Panau it's up to you how you complete your mission or whether you just set off exploring. However you play your most important piece of equipment is the new dual-grappling hook, which lets you latch onto enemies and vehicles and then attach them to something else.

Watching a soldier shoot into the air when you snag him onto a plane or pulling the wheels off a car when you tether it to the ground is just the start, as you learn to use your refolding parachute to slingshot yourself around the island. Political change has never been this much fun.

Key Features
  • Viva le revolution: Help your lone revolutionary to liberate an entire island from an evil dictator, although how much is left of it when you're done is up to you.
  • New hook: Get to grips with the new grappling hook and parachute combo to attach yourself or your enemies to moving vehicles and create the most dangerous stunts in gaming.
  • Transport tycoon: Take control of more than 100 different vehicles - from speedboats to jeeps, tanks and even the new Boeing 737 as you journey across Panau.
  • Even opponent: All-new artificial intelligence makes every mission different, with enemies that plan ahead and co-operate and an adaptive difficulty system that adjusts to your ability.
  • Treasure island: 100 square miles of tropical paradise are yours to explore (and blow up) with climates ranging from snow-capped mountains to sandy beaches and dense cities.
About the Developer: Avalanche Studios
This Swedish studio was founded in 2003 and made a name for itself with the open world action game Just Cause. All of its titles are made using the company's own Avalanche Engine technology, including online hunting simulator The Hunter and forthcoming fantasy adventure AionGuard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant. 29 April 2010
Platform for Display:PC|Edition:Standard Edition
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Talk about value for money! I've been playing this game for over 40 hours and have still only completed 45%. The concept is very similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, but in my opinion this game trumps any of those games. Whereas GTA is styled on gangster/crime movies, JC2 makes you feel like you're taking part in a Hollywood action blockbuster or James Bond movie.

The premise is simple - you're parachuted onto the island state of Panau, and have to cause as much chaos as possible in order to bring the dictatorship down. There are story based quest, and additional faction-based sub-quests (which vastly outnumber the story quests). Then on top of that, you have a HUGE island to explore with all manner of things to interact with, shoot, maim and demolish. As I've said, I've been playing for ages and am still discovering new things. Only the other day, I discovered a giant, Arecibo-style radio telescope under control of the army.

Sandbox games like this have a tendency to get boring - Assassins Creed is a good example. I love the GTA games, but I never bothered to try and complete them 100%. For some reason, I feel totally compelled to discover every last feature of Panau Island. Maybe that's because the game makers have made exploration so much fun.

Graphics-wise, this really does take advantage of DirectX 10. On my medium spec machine (core i7 920, GTX-275, 6gb ram) it looks absolutely scintillating. Not quite as good as Crysis, but certainly approaching those standards when it comes to the foliage and scenery. And you'll get to see a lot of it, as it is very easy to get around the island using your grapple hook alone.

I took a punt in buying this and have ended up playing one of the most enjoyable games ever. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enormous fun, and an enormous bargain 11 Mar 2011
By colin_e
Platform for Display:PC|Edition:Standard Edition
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
You need a reasonably modern machine to run this game (Vista or Windows 7, and a decent DX10 graphics card) but the result are remarkable. At this price (£5.99 on Amazon at time of writing) it's an absolute steal. If you like first person shooters, or even if you are just fascinated by the developments in computer graphics, you should buy this as a treat. The fact that you get around 100 hours of gameplay at such a bargain price is icing on the cake.

Just Cause 2 gives you a complete subtropical archipeligo of islands to explore, there are no levels or loading screens (except for targetted missions) the world is open to explore, with each town village or military base providing its own level-like challenge.

The graphics vary between good (local textures in towns) to true eye candy. From natural scenery and man-made structures of truly massive scale, down to little details like day/night cycles (nightime views of the cities are spectacular) there are times when the sheer visual appeal of a scene from a high-flying plane (or low flying parachute) makes you want to just stop and admire the view. Just Cause is not about realism however, it's about ludicrous (but fun) OTT action, and things like flying a plane into an oil refinery as the start to a day at the office!

It's not perfect, there are a small number of bugs and glitches, but nothing like the problems of early releases some other more well-known first person shooters. It is also dependent on Steam, which is worth knowing as some people have had trouble with Steam. Some of the gameplay can get repetitive, but as a largely free-form game if you don't what's happening, you can choose to do something deranged (like stand on top of a jet fighter for a free ride, or crash a wheeled tank into a gas storage vessel) to mix things up a bit.

Whatever its minor faults, this is a game that deserves to be considered in the same breath as some of the greats, the fact that it seems to have fallen from high-profile visibility fairly quickly is a great shame for the developers, but it means you can pick up a great game at a bargain-basement price which is pretty cool for us customers.

5.0 out of 5 stars 75% through and still going strong 20 Dec 2010
Platform for Display:PC|Edition:Standard Edition
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
A fantastic game chock-a-block with action from start to finish. The missions are hilarious with every single cliche in the book coming out for Uncle Sam and blowing up America's enemies left, right and centre. Despite the hilariously pariodied storyline, the action is intense and despite the sameyness of the destruction, huge explosions and looting of bases, towns and villages never seems to get old. The story is nothing to write home about, but the action in this game is second to none. Given the ridiculous price on Amazon, I would buy, buy, buy!
