If ever a game was proof that quantity does not equal quality, it's Just Cause 2. Don't misunderstand me; Just Cause 2 can be a lot of fun, but the developers seemed to put more effort into creating a huge world than populating it with exciting and varied things to do. The game-world could have a quarter of the size and it wouldn't have much effected the gameplay. Despite some flaws in the game mechanics (the usual brain-dead AI and stiff controls) the combat was entertaining. Blowing up buildings, numerous weapons and a good selection of vehicles made the fights look like something out of Michael Bay movie. And the graphics are drop-dead gorgeous. But when it came to everything else, the game failed. The plot and characters were terrible, even for an FPS (topped by one of the worst the end-bosses I've seen in years). The sound was unimpressive and - while the terrain rendering was impressive - the building models were ridiculously oversized. But worst was the sheer amount of commuting required to get from one mission to the next; even with the fastest jet there might be as much as ten minutes dead-time as I travel to the start point of the mission. Plus, while some missions were interesting too many devolved into the usual "storm the base" or "drive person to point X while being chased by cops". Furthermore, while much ado has been made of the "grapple", I found it a rather pointless tool hampered by unresponsive controls; it was easier to just shoot the bad-guys. Just Cause 2 had a number of interesting moments but the title as a whole was marred by a lack of good design and pacing. It takes more than just a huge map to create an entertaining experience.Show moreShow less

To be honest, the missions are terrible, like 75% of the game is just practically doing the same mission over over again, raid some base and take it for the ular boys or whatever, and then the 25% is after your grind all those missions you get an agency mission which is pretty cool, but after you do it, you get thrown back into the grind quests. To add to that, its pretty much the same thing whenever you do a mission, some dude pulls up in a truck, tells you to go help take over a base, and the drives off, every single time, i am not kidding about this, thats literally all they do. If you want this game for the story, youll have a hard time playing through it. Also theres black market, where you can get some cool cars and parachute thrusters and what not, but whenever you die, you instantly lose all of them, and you DONT GET YOUR MONEY BACK from the autosave, so you can spend all your money on these neat little upgrades, and then once you die (Which is bound to happen) you lose all of it and your broke, that goes with the vehicles you buy too, get a nice little agency hovercraft, next thing you know, something blows you to smitherings and you wasted all your money. This game is pretty time consuming and annoying, to be honest i wouldnt even waste the money on it if i had a chance to go back in time and buy it again.Show moreShow less

Great game to waste time on from driving around, blowing ♥♥♥♥ up and collecting things. Though extremely repetitive, this has kept me entertained for 90+ hours. (and over 150+ hours on the free multiplayer mod) PROS + HUGE world map; we're talking 400 sq. miles (20 miles x 20 miles) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=560068093 + Great graphics (esp for 2010) that still hold up a half-decade later + Most PC's can easily handle this; a $100 GPU will max it out at 60 fps + Lots of mods available + JC2MP, which adds much more things to do (and is free / 30mb) + Blowing up ♥♥♥♥ is fun + Lots of vehicles to utilize + Perfect Draw Distance; you will always see the entire world! + Nice weather system + One of the best Sandbox games out there + Affordable; 15$ normally; 2~5$ on sale CONS - Extremely repetitive; you're basically just blowing up stuff for most of the game - Dialogue / Missions are cheesy / bad - World is far from ugly / barren, but there's few secrets / interesting points of interest - Driving isn't the best - Combat can get out of hand fast - Little to do outside chaotic acts This game will run very well on most computers as long as they have some power. If you can play CSGO at all you can play this. I have a lower mid-range PC (GTX 750 Ti / crappy old 3.0 Quad core AMD) and I have this maxed out at 60 fps at 1080p If you love sandbox games this is a must-have, especially if it goes on sale. Overall, a B+ ~ A- game; it's a must-have for any sandbox fan.Show moreShow less

Putting it as "not recommended" because Steam needs a more nuanced review system and this game isn't what it could've been. The Just Cause series has been known for having very lackluster releases, this one is usually cited as the best one. I would disagree with that - Just Cause 3 is a much more engaging experience compared to this one, imo. The main problem with this game is the size, by that I mean the size of the map. The map is massive. It would take you a looooot of time to do all of the outposts, get all the collectibles and do all the races to perfection. There's clearly something to do for ages. So it only makes sense that the content packed into this game would keep you hooked for hours on end. Right? Well, not really. Once you start really getting hours into the game, let's say a good 5-10 hours, you'll start noticing how repetitive it all feels. The military outposts have a 2 keys to doing them - destroy all the red labeled objects, and collect all the shiny boxes. Some of the outposts have things like pipes you have to explode, activate and shoot communication towers, and nice vehicles you can ride around in. The communication outposts also get repetitive (and are an even bigger chore), the pipes are few and far between (plus there are ones just hiding around the map detached from outposts), and the vehicles are really few. Mostly you'll use helicopters, which you will have destroyed by AA guns or enemy military helicopters, which then turns into a game of chopper-jumping. Towns are no different - it's collecting boxes hiding around in places, with destroying some military installations and propaganda trailers. It would all be nice if the game wasn't as big as it is. It would be nice if it could be completed in a few hours. It would be good if the game world was much smaller than it is. Once you complete 100 of these towns and outposts, you start noticing these repetitive patterns. It starts getting boring. The game starts feeling like all you do is just blow up the red barrels and look for the boxes. And once you look at the map, and all of the outposts, and think to yourself: "damn, I still have so much to do..." it really starts to sink in how badly was this map designed. And i'm not saying there's no variety - there's a lot of different outposts that have interesting things to do - some of the winter outposts and some of the bigger bases have more than just the same red gas tank. But in the whole size of the game, they're nothing. They're something you admire for a few moments, complete and then go back to the mind-numbing routine of shooting the red canisters. This can be compared to Just Cause 3 - I'll admit, it does feel as repetitive as JC2 at places. But - the map is small. And there's more to do per outpost. The outposts are also much more varied - there's more outposts with different and interesting destructibles, objectives. It feels more fun to do, more engaging. It helps that there's more ways to approach it in JC3, the movement mechanics feel smoother and more polished. It's like the small map works to benefit for JC3 and the big map works to disbenefit for JC2. What gives some interesting content, a change of pace, is the missions - they're generally interesting. They offer some mechanics that aren't featured in the rest of the game world, which makes them interesting to complete. It's a shame this variety is limited only to missions and the actual game world is as same-ish as it is. The missions aren't anything great either, it's mostly just a few objectives given to you to do. Much more interesting than the open world experience, though. The main issue many people have pointed out about this game is the horrible voice acting. While it is horrible, it's not nearly big enough of a boon compared to other glaring issues the game has, and it can very easily be ignored as you're not faced with it often (the most is when you're calling Sheldon for yet another explosive resupply). The gameplay other than destroying posts is very mundane as well - you collect boxes, spend those on upgrades, and then use your marginally better weapons to kill more and get more boxes. There is also no point in using vehicles - 1) the control system is very clunky, 2) your grappling hook is just as fast. If you need to get anywhere far, you just call Sheldon to give you a lift. The driving is a mess - it's like the devs knew you won't be using your car much and just put little effort into making a functioning driving system that doesn't get your wheels turned into an eight as soon as you try to make a high-speed turn. Jets are similar - they take long to take off, but the main issue is that even when speeding up, if you turn just a bit you'll go sliding off the runway like crazy, so it's very risky to take off with a jet. In Just Cause 3, the gameplay feels more interesting - there's a bigger variety of weapons, each with it's own unique niche, especially the ones you get when you complete the big outposts in the middle of the islands, which give access to some fun weapons. Even the DLC weapons in Just Cause 2 feel like a rehashed version of the existing ones, and the existing ones just aren't that fun to use. Same with the vehicles - the vehicles you can buy and upgrade in Just Cause 2 have all the same root feature - they're just fast vehicles with gun. They can be destroyed easily too. You use it for a few times and it wears off after you realize that your vehicle is destroyed after facing like 10 enemy jeeps. The devs knew you would be using your Grappling Hook for all of your movement, and in Just Cause 2 it's uses are very limited compared to JC3. In JC2 you can fly around, with parachute or without, hook soldiers up, and that's it. In JC3, you can take down helicopters, take down environmental features and much more that you just can't do in JC2. JC2 also lacks the Wingsuit from JC1, while JC3 has it and synergizes really well with the Grappling Hook. Another pro for JC3 is the upgrade system, which is full of content, makes your gear much better and actually incentivizes you to do the races for something other than the 100% completion. Speaking of which, you can't even complete JC2 fully without needing a mod. lmao There is nearly no point in using a high-speed jet other than to look at the vistas, which is the only part of the game I can say is really good - the environments. The environments in this game have huge variety - there's a desert biome, a mountains biome, a jungle biome, a grassland biome. They all look exceptional, and the views you can have in this game are great. The one thing you can see the devs worked on is the terrain, the geography of it all, because it looks beautiful. The graphics for this game are dated. For a game released in 2010, the graphics engine seems clunky and dated, the HUD looks horrible for that time. I legit thought the game was released around around the mid 00s, 2008 at latest, but no. It was released in 2010. JC3, in contrast, has graphics that are up to standards for the time it was released in. JC3 has it's cons - the missions in it are even more streamlined than in JC2. But in the end, it feels like there's much more to do in JC3. Despite it having a smaller map. There's just much, much more variety and it's an infinitely more engaging player experience than Just Cause 2. Just Cause 2's main problem is the map. It's clear most of the development time was spent working on the map instead of anything else, and it shows in the finished product. The game could have been much better if less time was spent on working on the map and more time was spent on bettering the player experience, and improving the visuals of the game. It's still an alright game, just I suggest JC3 more than this.Show moreShow less
