Just Cause 2 Review
The Short Version: Just Cause 2 was a game I didn’t want to play. I thought Just Cause was boring and had little hope for this sequel. I was wrong. This turned out to be one of the most fun open-world games i’ve ever played and I’m proud to say that Rico Rodriguez can now take his place among legitimate Hispanic Heroes. Avalanche studios have taken everything fun about the original – cut the boring crap out and refined the crazy parachute & grapple hook features. Well done!
The Video Review:
What you’ll Like:
• Impressive Graphics for such a large open-world game.
• Grapple hook and parachuting around is incredibly satisfying.
• Story & Faction Missions are interesting & creative.
• Fun hidden locations throughout the Islands.
• One of the more enjoyable open world games on the next-gen consoles.
What you’ll Hate:
• The Checkpoint system needs to be improved to include auto-saving after long trips.
• The Voice Acting ranges from passable to laughably terrible.
• The game area might actually be a bit too large, could have been slightly more focused.
Final Verdict:
8/10
Very Fun!
BAD ASS APPROVED! Safe Buy!

WTF!? first i was watching your review of Just Cause 2 then there’s a commercial about nature valley! WTF!
yeah it gets kinda repetitive, but I enjoyed playing it in between other games. And it’s also worth to go everywhere and get all the collectibles.
What about Repetitive cutscenes, few guns, gets boring fast? I’d rate this game max 6/10, they need to imporve these things i mentioned above.
So much fun with this game, the modding on PC was superb. I was a freakin Ninja with a 10foot bazooka on my back!! lmfao so awesome. Its a must buy.
I actually thought the cheesy voices worked, as it gave the game more of an “80s action flick” feel which is what I thought they were going for. With all the crazy almost superhero level of action it felt to me like a Stallone or Norris action flick from the 80s. Either way it was incredible fun and everyone should buy it AND the DLC as the parachute thrusters are just incredible!
if you think that voice acting is bad Joe, go play a few hours of Chaos Wars………..i highly doubt you will find worse.
