Just Cause 2 (X360, PS3 & PC)

[FreelancePolice]

I'm chomping at the bit for this now. The criticisms of the missions don't bother me at all as the unlocking and upgrading of weapons/vehicles is what's going to grab my attention.

I've seen a couple of videos of some truly brilliant things (both in the demo and not in the demo).

->Open Spoiler<-

There's a bloody airship complete with landing pad/strip and nightclub!

which just makes me thing the game is rife for arseing around.

I'm also delighted at the way the modding community, notably one or two users on Somethingawful, have gone well out of their way to play around with some of the settings. Unbreakable ropes, multiple ropes and control tweaks to allow you to mouselook while in parachute - something which is essential for viewing your carnage as you parachute away with a dirty grin on your face.

we've not done very well at leaving this alone, once the controls click then wreaking havoc becomes far easier.

just had a great go where I took out a base full of SAMs, nicked the assault chopper, took out a colonel then destroyed a petrol facility with the copter whilst fighting off other assault choppers.

did my first mission too up at the radar base on the hill where you get a copter assist to lift you out and you have to ambush a witness being taken somewhere.

does lose one mark though for the weird looking woman who sounds like a welsh person doing a west indian accent, 'my name is Bolo Santosi'....

does it matter not playing the original before getting this?

[FreelancePolice]

Only as a comparison to how much it's improved.

Does it hell, the story is bobbins anyway.

Ordered the pc version. Really can't wait for this! Only problem i have is that the keyboard controls do take a bit of getting used too, from my impressions of playing the demo anyway.

Apparently there's already a mod out for the PC which allows you to attach more than one bollo wire to things for maximum comedy value.

My copy for the 360 has been dispatched today - looking forward to getting stuck into the full thing.

[yesteryeargames]

ok thanks, looks great and consistantly over 85&#37; in the reviews

Picking this up on Firday I cant wait ! I dont want it for the story and all that bobbins just wanna have a virtual stunt playground ;-)

changed title to reflect full release drops this week, hopefully my copy today.

already loads of great looking videos going up on youtube from the PC & PS3 versions of this.

I tried tethering moving vehicles to the ground last night and that brings interesting results.

If you have a 360 wired controller matey just use that will work like a charm lol.

Brilliant. Having a blast already

I was beyond surprised that the demo was utter awesome, really wanna get this.

I'm just past the mandatory opening missions and am a bit nervous about the size of the world, its huge, but in a good way.

got a feeling this game is going to be pretty good.

the special hand gun you get in the ltd edition is pretty cool, really powerful, does huge damage to enemy soldiers.
