    So much FUN with a touch of mayhem

    First, I didn't know that it was actually an open world game with a very wide map. Its map is like the one from Far Cry 3, consists of islands, mountains, poor villages and lots of trees. Though these game has modern ci... Read Full Review

    It offers thrills, sadly with some tedious quests.

    The island of Panau is literally huge interspersed by settlements (villages or cities or little towns or hamlets), yet sadly is not as diverse as other open-world spaces. There are only cars and motorbikes getting by, b... Read Full Review

    Clunky shooting

    Found the combat controls clunky, and the shooting controls were especially ungainly and outdated (e.g. no option to move the reticle separately from the character's movement), was a major downside for me and ruined the ... Read Full Review

    Not perfect, but very close (97/100)

    9.7/10 is not for no reason a mark I give to this game! It is up there with my top 4 games, together with Super Hexagon, Kerbal Space Program and Euro Truck Simulator 2.To the game, the game is stunning in so many ways:G... Read Full Review

    Just Cause 2 - The Verdict

    I picked up Just Cause 2 in a recent Steam sale not knowing what to expect. But then I realized I found one of the most grandest and funnest open-world games out there. The story starts of like a generic military destroy... Read Full Review

    It's awesome! A must-buy. No offense to Gamespot but they underrated Just Cause 2.

    You spend 40 to 100 hours if you love to blow stuff up and kill and evade cops. ;-) The first and second missions are a bit hard but after that you enter the free world and you can either go on an explosion spree and ... Read Full Review

    A gorgeous island filled with explosions and a guy with a parachute!

    You may have seen a blast of excitement in the trailers and gameplay clips of Just Cause 2. But even if you haven't seen them, if you haven't got this game, go and get this game. Just Cause 2 is a gorgeous open world gam... Read Full Review

    You'd have better control of pancake batter on a hot summer day

    I'm pretty sure I'm in control of my life. Though I'm not entirely too sure. My job sort of rules me. Must get the work related stuff done first or I don't get my paycheck. Without the paycheck I live on the street. ... Read Full Review

    Worth it.

    I started to play this game and the first thing i noticed was the size of the map, it is huge! and the graphics are really good (not 100% but they are good) it's just one of those games you can finish all the mission and... Read Full Review
