Great game for the busy gamer.
If you love gaming, work all the time, don't have time for games needing hours of investment then this is the game for you!
I watched a video of a developer playing the game quite a while back and had forgotten about Just Cause 2 until the demo was released on Xbox Live for Gold members. All those memories of amazement while watching that video came flooding back into my head. The game is just plain fun from the moment you put the disc in. Only have 30 minutes to spare? Put the disc in your Xbox and you can roam free around the entire 35 square mile world and pretty much do whatever you want to whomever you want instantly. No time for completing a mission? No problem! Go grapple onto a chopper, shoot the gunner,throw the pilot out and steal that joker! Perform your own Shock and Awe campaign for those precious 30 minutes of gaming you have.
The game is totally unrealistic but I do not want to play "Real Life Simulator" as I do that everyday. The controls of the game can be a bit tricky at first but you will get the hang of it; especially if you do some tweaking to the X and Y sensitivity settings in the options menu. The camera however can be a bit frustrating at times. The camera will sometimes recenter itself when you do not want it to and there is no way to turn auto centering on/off. The camera only has these issues when you get really, realy close to a building/cliff or while controlling a vehicle. I have trained myself not to touch the right stick while controlling a vehicle and that has helped a lot. If you read the manual it tells you that while using your parachute to steer with the left stick and only make minor corrections with the right stick. That information should be in the game because it is very important to getting very skilled at parasailing. The minor camera and control issues are why I took off one star from the overall game rating.
If you have any doubts about this game then I highly recommend checking out the demo on Xbox Live if you are a Gold member. If the demo does not sell you on the game then do not buy it. For those of you with a PC that has a decent graphics card you may want to purchase the PC version of this game instead, since the Xbox version does not offer any multiplayer features. The controls would probably be much better with a computer.

More of the same, only twice as good.
Take Just Cause 1 and improve almost everything and you have Just Cause 2. From great visuals of deserts, snow mountains, jungles, beaches, oceans and towering skyscraper cities, this game looks great.
The controls are improved for vehicles too. And they sound crisp and realistic (great sound from the weapons, explosions, overall sounds too). Only thing I miss is the ability to zoom into a first person view. There's only a distant 3rd person view, which takes away a lot of the impact of "Being right there with the vehicle". It's more like "Watching a toy vehicle from a birds eye view". This is most evident when flying a helicopter or plane. Too far away to really feel like you're flying it. More like a Remote Control toy.
And the grappling hook/parachute combination as you've probably read is a huge reason to buy this game. You can be out in the middle of a flat desert (think Red Dead Redemption's vast drylands), and within two quick moves, be up in the air. How? Aim the grappling hook at a point ahead on the ground, tap the hook button, slingshot automatically towards that point and quickly press the parachute. You can continue this flight without ever touching the ground by using the momentum from grappling the ground from the sky. Great stuff and more effective than most vehicles for escaping enemies.
On foot, the gunplay is solid, with a welcome return of the over the shoulder camera for some great "right in the game" action.
The missions are mostly fun and varied, but learning how to use the new control features on the first mission took some trial and error. After the first hour of missions, you're free to explore everything. And most of the time, as long as you don't shoot in public, no one will attack you. No more constant helicopters flying over every 2 minutes either thankfully.
There's not many interiors, but climbing a skyscraper "Bionic Commando" style is plenty of fun, and jumping off the top with a running leap, even better. For skydiving, few games deliver an experience like Just Cause 1 and 2. Just wish there were a few stunts thrown in, like a cannon ball, fast spins, and more.
If you're an explorer, this game delivers one of the largest worlds ever made for an on foot/vehicle game. Think Test Drive Unlimited and Fuel in terms of size, much like Just Cause 1. And plenty of nice variation, though the small villages are a bit dull with not many interiors. Not much to complain about, with plenty of options to adjust (unfortunately, almost everything but control mapping). It does feel like an improved version of the first game, but that's also a good thing. It's a sequel after all.
So with such a giant world (with a nice day/night cycle and weather), what is there to do? walk, run, sprint, jump, duck, roll, grapple, parachute, skydive, fire weapons, drive, fly aircraft, cause havoc, explore, side missions, story missions and plenty more. Overall, Just Cause 2 may deliver more of the same, but twice as good. If you're a fan of the first and want another world to explore with Rico, this game delivers like few others. Excellent and recommend to exploration/action fans.
An above average sandbox game with its share of flaws
My favorite type of video game is the sandbox variety because I love to roam around and just blow things up...and Just Cause 2 lets you do just that. I have played a large amount of sandbox games and this one ranks right up there with some of the best but it does have a few very annoying features. With each great feature of the game comes a small setback. The setting is incredibly large and dynamic with endless areas to explore. Sometimes its so large that even in a plane or helicopter it takes about 10 minutes to reach some areas. Your character, Rico, is equipped with a versatile grappling hook that can help him climb walls, attach to moving vehicles, and also can be used in battle to throw or disarm your enemies. While you roam around in this game, there is a small map in the top left corner of the screen to show you where you are.....this feature is a staple in sandbox games, but in Just Cause 2, its pretty hard to make much sense of. Another aspect of the game that I love is that there are tons and tons of land, sea, and air vehicles you can hijack and do what you want with, be it blow up or take you to your next destination.....however, the controls of these vehicles are lackluster at best. The handling on the land vehicles is one of the worst I have seen. Be prepared to be spinning off the road.....alot. I recently played Saints Row 2 and the Saboteur and the driving controls in those games is much tighter. Although this gets annoying, its not a major problem so I can deal with that. You can try adjusting the X,Y sensitivity settings but I think this would change them for the whole game and not just vehicle operation. The detail and scale of the island you are exploring is amazing...breath taking landscapes ranging from snowy mountains to sandy beaches. You do have missions in this game as in all sandbox games but the real point of this game is to cause chaos by blowing stuff up. You even need to destroy a certain amount of stuff before certain missions become available to you. In some of the missions I find that ammo is scarce so be prepared to conserve your shots. A few other minor flaws which lower my rating a bit but don't detract majorly from the fun of the game: the enemies say the same thing all the time when they spot you and stutter alot when saying it, in some places you can literally run up a nearly vertical wall of a mountain but the animation shows Rico running laterally, checkpoints are often hard to reach the first few times in a mission, and alot of the story cut scenes are pretty dull. Although this game has a bunch of drawbacks....the main goal of the game is provide hours of fun and enjoyment and it certainly does that. If you are looking for a game that not high on realism but high on explosions and action...this is your game. If you want to relive Die Hard meets Rambo for yourself.....this is a must have. If you expect highly realistic sims with few bugs, I would stay away.
