Brief synopsis of Just Cause

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, Ricos 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, youll 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, its unlikely youre ever going to be bored of the place.

And when it comes to travel in such a large area, its 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 youre bored of the regime in your living room.

CRAIGY from SANE LAND , 15/11/2007

If ever i wanted to kill myself. This game would push me over the edge! What a pile of crap! graphics(CRAP),gameplay (CRAP), I could go on but i think you get the picture. I actually bought this game imagine my dissapointment! i could not belive a game so hyped could be so bad and they put pictures on the back of the cover NOT screenshots! to trick you into buying it WHAT A RIP OFF! Shame on you EIDOS! It was so bad i had to take it back to the shop the next day after trying to like it cause i'd bought it. Basically it's CRAP, AVOID LIKE A ONE EYED WHORE WITH THE CLAP!

Just cause is an extreamly good game, the missions are easy in the start but gradualy get harder thought the game. There are also alot of side missions which sadlay get abit repetetive once youve done them 5 or 6 times. The other advantages are free rome wich alows you to do pretty much anything you want including stunts, parachut jumps and car jacks there is also a vast aray of weapons wich are very usefull in missions in lots of differant ways.

Rated - 4 starsVery Good

A customer from Leeds , 26/03/2007

Not a bad game at all! Very much a copy of Grand Theft Auto but set on an island near South America. Some of the missions are excellent with a large range of tasks. Good story line. However I must agree with the previous review in that it can sometimes feel a bit repetitive.

However there are some nice touches like the helicopter pick up and equipment drops.

its a good game but not up to the hype i keep on hearing about. the missions are easy at the start then get harder theres alot of side missions as well but they can be repetative once you do it for the fifth time. but you will get plenty of hours out of this. the first day i got it it already played it for 7 hour 33 mins so worth getting.

Rated - 3 starsGreat game

A customer from England , 30/10/2006

But it can get pretty repetitive quickly. The size of the island is great, and can keep you busy for a while (although it can be frustrating getting to places).
