James Bond not doing it for you? Turn to Rico Rodriguez then, the protagonist of Just Cause. The top gun of the Agency that he represents, Rico?s mission is to single-handedly satisfy the US strategy in bringing regime change to the dangerous land of San Esperito. How does he plan to do this? Simply get there, trash the place, create an uprising revolution, and round it all off by assassinating the President. San Esperito might be an island nation, but in terms of the size of the game world in Just Cause, you?ll be playing in a massive playing field where you are given free reign to do whatever you like when not following your objectives. With 250,000 acres of game world to explore and traverse, it?s unlikely you?re ever going to be bored of the place. And when it comes to travel in such a large area, it?s only fitting that Rico uses all means necessary to get from A to B. A mighty impressive 89 vehicles that cover land, sea and air transport are at your beck and call, and Rico can perform some amazing stunts that can see him skydiving, riding off of cars and leaping from helicopters to boats, to get the result that you, the gamer, want to achieve from your missions. With a plethora of primary, secondary and side missions to enjoy, along with the freeform style of game play, Just Cause looks like the perfect operative to put to work in your console if you?re bored of the regime in your living room.

Most helpful review Just Cause

Seems over-done

By a customer from Catterick Garrison , 08 Mar 2007

[Highly rated reviewer]

I was expecting a Grand Theft Auto in a hot island type game.. how dissapointed I was.

The controls are not well thought out, the aiming is TERRIBLE and the gameplay extrememly repetitive.

You have a few fancy moves, which you repeat for the rest of the game, and they go like this: drive near car, jump on top of car, release parachute, fly in air, hook other car, get in other car, continue.

All this is done with absolutaly no skill needed, which dramatically reduces the amount of fun that could of been had with this, its all done with one button.

Overall, not impressed. Boring story. Relies too much on 'stunt' gimmick.
