a Yoonik! Just Cause 2 review: Just Explosions

User Rating: 7 | Just Cause 2 PC

PROS:

- An absolutely beautiful (not to mention destructible) world with nice sound and physics effects. Also not to mention, a massive open-world riddled with towns to discover and destroy

- Absolutely amazing explosion and destruction visual effects that leave you wanting to level the whole Panau with its dumb NPC population

- Underwater ambience is almost therapeutic

- Pretty nice assortment of weapons of mass destruction readily available with one helicopter drop - Good main mission sequences that at moments crosses the line of insanity (e.g. fighting ninjas, stopping rockets midflight while literally on them)

- An almost infinite ways to inflict death and quantum mayhem made available

- An absolute blast to play, quite literally too

CONS:

- Palpable and almost ridiculous voice acting from Panau's seemingly multicultural population, and that includes every single person in Panau

- Completely uninteresting characters in a completely uninteresting and nuanced story, which leaves the sole purpose of this game to just blowing crap up

- Much of the world is copy-pasted, with towns looking exactly as the one next or a few miles from it - Missions can get pretty repetitive
