"One of the most enjoyable sandboxes for players to experiment in this side of Grand Theft Auto.  Game Informer
"All things considered, Just Cause 2 is comfortably the best "zany" sandboxer out there, and a brilliantly improved sequel to the great-if-flawed original.  Games Master UK

I recently had a chance to play this action game from Square-Enix. Before I started playing, I was first interested in how they were going to keep players into the game because the world is so big. There have been several games with a big world and it just was not exciting enough to keep on playing and exploring. I have to say Just Cause 2 does live up to the hype and it has a little bit of something for everyone. The game being huge is an understatement. There is over 400 miles of space in the game world. Because of its size, the developers gave players the ability to get around the world in several different ways....read the full review

I've been looking forward to Just Cause 2 ever since I saw the game demoed here in our office a year ago. A third-person shooter with more explosions than a summer blockbuster, Just Cause 2 promised to burst into the open-world sub-genre with guns blazing. Although the original Just Cause has its fair share of problems, I was confident that the folks at Avalanche Software could put together a fantastic action experience...Fortunately for all us gamers, Just Cause 2 is just as enjoyable as it looks. Although the game has a few annoying problems to speak of, this stunt-filled affair is one of the best open-world games I've played in a long time. The action is spectacular, the game world is tremendous and enemies can be tackled in a seemingly infinite number of ways. This is a title that every gamer with a taste for action should play...But Just Cause 2 isn't all fun and games... and explosions. The controls certainly take some getting used to, and the in-mission checkpoints can be extremely frustrating. This is the kind of game where you die often, and when currently engaged in a mission, that means you'll be starting over just as often (there are checkpoints in the longer missions, but they're not as frequent as I'd like). When you couple this disappointing save structure with the overwhelming odds tossed against Rico when he's on foot, this can lead to a lot of vein-popping curse words...I haven't had this much fun with an open-world game in years. Just Cause 2 is over-the-top and insanely fun. There are some issues in the game's presentation and the checkpoint system is far from perfect, but Just Cause 2 is otherwise a must-play for adrenaline junkies. Rico Rodriguez might just be my new hero. - Ryan Clements
