Just Cause 2 – Miles of Replay Value

The open world genre of games is exciting and always offers great replay value.  You can choose to do a mission, or just drive a motorcycle off a cliff and parachute into an enemy stronghold, slaughtering everyone inside, such as in Just Cause 2.

If you’re looking for a fun game to play, that doesn’t take itself too serious, you’ll want to check out Just Cause 2.  Out in stores in late March, it offers miles of free roaming and plenty of explosions that keep you entertained for a long time.  Though the story doesn’t take too long to complete, 20 hours according to GameSpot, there’s so much to do in game that you’ll still be playing it after you’ve ran through the story.

A few notable things about Just Cause 2 are the graphics and gameplay.  The action is always going, and the landscapes are amazing themselves.  The main character, Rico Rodriguez, is equipped with two things you shouldn’t go without when causing mayhem on an island in southeast Asia; a grappling hook and a parachute.

With these two things, you can pretty much do anything in game.  Grappling between walls and helicopters is a snap, and if you find yourself miles in the air, sending a helicopter to crash into propane tanks, you can parachute out to safety.  The whole island is an absolute blast to explore, since you’re not constrained to anywhere, really.

There are a few hiccups with the game, however.  The story is on the weak side.  The voice acting doesn’t help it much either.  You shouldn’t boot up your PS3 to play Just Cause 2 expecting a riveting, in-depth story.  Expect to have too much fun, however, spending hours hijacking helicopters, dragging snipers off of ledges with your grappling hook, and generally causing exorbitant, wanton destruction.
