ZeroTolerance Writes: Just Cause 2 is the epitome of how to take a great idea and perfect it. When the original game landed back in 2006 it was chock full of great ideas that simply fell flat. The grappling hook and stunt mechanics were unrefined and overall the game simply just wasn't that much fun. With the sequel the development team has spent time taking all of these elements and crafting them to perfection. What we end up with is an open-world game that manages to evolve the genre while at the same time bolstering nearly limitless amounts of fun thanks to these mechanics. Just Cause 2 is a subscriber to the game theory of creating 30 seconds of fun, and multiplying it throughout the entire experience.
good reviews so far, I wasn't a big fan of the first game due to all the bugs. Though it's looking like that won't be the case with this one.
The demo was pretty cool but I have too many other things to play right now. I'll probably pick it up later.
Why is this in the PS3 section?

Never played the first, and even hated the demoof the sequel the first go. But I went back to it a few times over the weekend and I have now played it for quite a few hours. And that's the DEMO!
Seriously, once you have the controls nailed it gets super-awesome. I spent an hour the other night (once I'd done the demo glitch to suspend the timer) just having mid-air battles with armed choppers. I also managed to find a little plane flying around and did my first plane-to-plane hijack. :)
I'm a bit confused why there have been so few reviews of this game so far, but this was a good read with a great score. Even Edge gave it a 7, which is more than I would have expected from them considering the lack of decent story and poor character models. Looks like if you want some knock-around fun, Just Cause 2 is where it's at.
Been looking forward to this game since I played the demo. I enjoyed the demo loads and if thats anything to go by then I should love the game. Roll on Friday when its released (uk).
