Just Cause 2 (Platinum)

Having limited myself to sport games over the years I decided with the PS3 to branch out a little and explore the possibilities, and Just Cause 2 was not a disappointment.

The game is vast, perhaps more so than any other I've played to date although this can make the game somewhat repetitive. Time really can go nowhere when playing this game and you can get lost for a while. There are lots of little sub-plots to the main story (which is a little bit of a let down), you can collect items thus "completing" settlements or take on a mission from one of the gangs you become associated with and certainately offers value for money especially at the current price.

In comparison to other titles I've played the story perhaps is a little lame, maybe cheesy, but the game overall is fun. For people that prefer games that will take a lot of hours to complete, this probably fits the bill.

Graphically the game is excellent.

Definitely one of the best games you will get for this price at the moment. Enjoy.

What Can I say! Despite the dreadful accents and occasional case of puppet mouth with characters this game delivers on pretty much every level.
Firstly Im going to say how this game has really opened my eyes to the scale that games are actually able to achieve in this generation of consoles! I often found myself spending 20 odd minutes actually transporting myself from mission to mission.
Secondly, the graphics are truly awe inspiring they may not meet up to such standards set by GTA IV. Despite this there are still moments in the game where you actually feel the need to stop and just take in the view.
And lastly the gameplay value is truly endless. Ive been playing on the game now for 18 hours and Ive just finished the main story line. And what waits for me? An expansive land with hundreds of racing activates, Easter eggs as wacky as finding the lost island from the TV series, 100s of settlements, Military bases and oil refinements followed by the not so exciting..… more »

This is truly one of those games where the more you play, the more you start to appreciate it. A must buy for open world game lovers.

When buying Just Cause 2 I was told it was one of the best Action/Adventure/RPG's going. So as many people would be I couldn't wait to try it out. At first, I loved it. The graphics are great, the content and variety is good and the freedom and choice was very well portrayed. However, after a while it does begin to get too repetitive, like you know too much what to do and I seriously hate the stupid auto-save system!! I do, on the other hand like the way it does take time to get to several locations without the aid of the 'Black Market Dealer' from whom you can buy several vehicles and weapons. The story was good and I enjoyed the ending. But, this game would be interesting to see if it had a Multiplayer mode. Occasionally on video games like this that have extremely long campaigns I like to have a couple of games online before continuing on with the story. I think that may be the main reason I found this game too repetitive because to get a break from the story, well you had to… more »

Graphics 4/5
