Just Cause 2 Review
Crazy stunts, a huge and gorgeous gameworld, and a playful attitude make Just Cause 2 a lot of fun.
The Good
Enormous, varied island to explore with lots of things to do More than
100 vehicles to drive and pilot You pull off all sorts of crazy
stunts Stuff blows up in lots of awesome ways Absolutely fantastic
visuals.
The Bad
Some of the missions are more frustrating than fun Some visual glitches Doesn't support Windows XP.
Just Cause 2 is ridiculous in the best possible way. In the space of a
few moments, you can grapple to a hovering helicopter; beat up the pilot
and hijack the chopper; blow up a cluster of fuel tanks; put the
chopper on a collision course with an enormous antenna; jump out at the
last moment; and watch the resulting explosion as you parachute down to
the saddle of a moving motorcycle below. But in the life of Rico
Rodriguez, such events are just another day at the office, though in
this case, the office is the gigantic island nation of Panau, where
three gangs vie to wrest control from a corrupt government. This is a
big game that gives you a lot to do and a lot of crazy ways to do it.
When Just Cause 2 gives you the freedom to do the things you want in the
way you want, it shines in all its preposterousness and good humor.
When missions and challenges shoehorn you into specific actions,
however, the same loose mechanics that make the open-world exploration
such a joy become a frustrating burden. Nevertheless, this sandbox
action game surmounts its few issues with liberal doses of
ludicrousness; well, that, and the ability to attach disreputable cops
to a buggy with your grappling hook and drag them around.
Just pure, freewheeling fun.

There's a story tying all of the craziness together, but it's about as
believable as the crazy stunts you pull. As in the original Just Cause,
you play as Rico, a member of a US agency called, appropriately enough,
The Agency. The story is all silly fluff, standing out more for its
so-excruciating-it's-almost-good voice acting and broad ethnic
caricatures than for any intricate plot developments. (Don't bother
looking: There aren't any.) You'll probably have more fun trying to
figure out where different characters are from based on their insane
accents than you will working out what exactly is going on or why you
should care, but the tale still works well in light of the game's screwy
attitude. Contradictory updates from the government-run news agency
will have you giggling precisely because they're so crazy; Rico
offhandedly dismisses the insane, supernatural events that occur after
an eventful flight into a Bermuda Triangle-type region. Most
importantly, the tale provides oh-so-implausible excuses to blow up gas
stations, radar installations, and offshore oil platforms.
And blowing stuff up is what Just Cause 2 does best. Causing explosions
leads to chaos, which functions as a type of currency in Just Cause 2.
To unlock new story missions and other goodies, you need to wreak as
much havoc as you can, and you get lots of different, preposterous ways
to do it. If you see a grouping of fuel tanks, you could just run in and
shoot them with a machine gun, but that is one of the less dramatic
ways to do it and will use up ammo besides. (And early on, the game is a
bit too stingy with ammo, given the focus on making things go boom.)
But why approach things in such a pedestrian manner? Instead, you could
hijack a passenger jet, put it on a destructive path, and jump out at
the last minute. Or you could steal a hulking tank, drive it to a
central location, and start blasting everything that looks like it might
erupt in a ball of flames. The dramatic approach can take a bit more
time, but it usually leads to a good deal of entertainment. Yet, even if
you do things the easy way and use a dinky pistol, the explosions are
perfectly loud, big, bright, and obnoxious.
You'll make approximately one zillion things explode. And it never gets old.
Of course, such noisy endeavors will get the attention of the local
authorities. It's amazing just how quickly swarms of militants will
descend on you. (You might actually see soldiers fade into view directly
in front of you.) The most obvious way of handling them is to fill them
with lead, and when you're surrounded by enemies, Just Cause 2's loose
shooting mechanics work just fine. The ultraforgiving autotargeting
makes it easy to run about spraying fire, though you can zoom in if you
need a bit more precision, like if you are taking out a military colonel
and need to land a headshot. If you use a controller, you might run
into troubles with that same autotargeting; You can aim and shoot
directly at a guy's head as he leans out a car door but not land any
hits. But if you're using a mouse and keyboard, you aren't likely to
encounter this issue, and you're getting a more fluid experience to
boot.
When you're surrounded by a dozen armed baddies and bombarded by a
hovering helicopter, however, making a quick getaway may be the best
option. Rico's grappling hook is a real life saver in these
circumstances. You might attach it to a nearby building and fling
yourself onto a roof or grapple the ground and pull yourself out of
harm's way. Better yet, you can pull off a sort of inverted Spider-Man
routine by grappling the ground, hurling yourself into the air, and
opening your handy parachute before you hit the ground. Once airborne,
you can repeat the move over and over, flinging yourself around using
the grapple hook like Spidey would use his webbing. From the air, you
can perform some satisfyingly silly stunts. For example, if you'd rather
travel around in a motorized rickshaw, you can grapple on to one, pull
yourself onto its roof, and evict the driver, who will undoubtedly be
vocal about his or her displeasure. Or perhaps that chopper is still
dogging you. In that case, grapple onto it, chuck the pilot out, and
take it for your own. But it's plenty satisfying just to travel using
your hook and parachute. It takes a little time to get used to the
rhythm of taking off, but once you're accustomed to it, there's nothing
like soaring above Panau's snow-capped mountains or taking in a
beautiful sunset while floating slowly toward the beach.
