Beyond the very few flaws and the sometimes completely illogical scenarios, Just Cause is a great game!

User Rating: 8.5 | Just Cause XBOX
Just Cause is another sandbox style game, yet it takes that and amps it up quite a bit, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. Just Cause is set in a series of islands known as San Esperito and you're set in as an agent to help the civilians overthrow the government. Along the way you'll be doing other odd jobs but enjoy it most of the time.

Now I can not express how amazing the map is, it is massive, beautifully rendered and the draw distance is beyond words! There is a great vast landscape to explore, many vehicles to drive most of which are merely functional at best and even planes and helicopters to fly around. Now once you find yourself behind the controls of a helicopter you will also find yourself scrambling to find another one if yours happens to disappear or blow up.

Missions are set much like the other sandbox games, difficult but not greatly so mostly a mental game. You can also start liberating settlements and aiding one faction overthrow another. There is no shortage of fun in this game except when it throws in some of the bountiful impossibilities. Such as; jumping from a vehicle onto the roof and riding it as it blazes down a road or jumping from a plane and opening your parachute mere feet from the ground and still having enough time to land one your feet without injury.

Beyond the very few flaws and the sometimes completely illogical scenarios, Just Cause is a great game!
