I remember when I was watching previews for this game and I was so pumped, it looked like the best video game ever...

I was so excited that I went and bought Just Cause 1, and that was very bad video game, I wouldn't recommend anybody to play it(thank god it was only 4 dollars). I remember drooling over trailer of Just Cause 2, it was like playing Mercenaries but with cooler abilities.

The concept of this game is amazing, but they messed up these little things in the game that added up and made it game less enjoyable to it's full potential. I think it's first sand box game with sky diving and one thing that I thought was missing is him having a wing suit(or whatever that thing is called).

Here are the things the things that made me go like: "wtf were u thinking?":

- You don't have to block half of my screen for a whole minute to tell me that the mission was completed
- After I fail race or flying challenge why don't you ask me if I want to retry? why? Especially when it's flying mission and start point is 3 miles away...
-Regenerate my health to full everytime, in game like this with big map finding medkits is very stupid, and there is no option to helicopter drop of health
- implementation of weapons is pretty stupid, just one rifle and you only upgrade it little bit, how about diffrent rifles using same ammo? I can't carry RPG and a rifle?wtf? or cool rifles you can unlock at black market like in mercernaries?
-I'm always out of ammo, just make bad guys carry rifles with this basic ammo that fits all rifles or ammo resupply points
-the way that some guys can take half a clip of ammo is ridiciolous, i used to wear body armor in military and SAPI's are only good for two or three rounds
-30,000 dollars to buy a handgun? and for the same price you can get a jet? what were you smoking?
-Too many big rocks on the ground(same mistake as Far Cry 2), that's annoying..get rid of them
- Ammo and Vehicle implemented badly, should've made it like in Mercenaries
-WTF is wrong with motorcycles, apart from poor handling they explode if you hit a rock
- Annoying sun glare, I mean special effects are cool, but not cool if you can't see.
- Stronghold missions = escort mission, (that's a holy grail of something you don't put in a video game) oooh yeah and they are very repetive, you will do 9 of them and they are all the same, just different location
- completing settlements doesn't do anything, and sure doesn't decrease military presence, would be cool if factions would've moved in or something.

Good game after all, I hope they fix all of these issues in a next one since their budget is higher now.
