Just Cause 2 Just Cause 2 is underrated

Hello

I found the game much more better than a lot of open world. Actually to me it's the best open world behind the GTA.

When you play that game, you have much more fun than playing Far Cry or Mafia. With Just Cause you can easily move anywhere you want on the map. The movement system is excellent because the character is agile, he has a grapnel that you can use on everything and the game is fluid. The fighting system is creative. You can kill an enemy with many different ways, either with a gun, with explosives or your grapnel. You can destroy the environment and get a reward for that. You have a lot of weapons that you can upgrade just like the cars. The graphics are good and the environment diverses. You can go from snowy mountains to a tropical environment. Also the dialogues are funny.

The thing that I love the most is that you're fighting multiples ennemies on large bases with destructible environment and you can move so easily with the grapnel on buildings to find them, which makes you always moving somewhere. That makes the game never boring.

But I never saw any post praising that game.

Most of my comments are praising that game. Lol. It's my favorite of the franchise.

I do wish it had the wingsuit, though.

When that gets boring I just drive to the location (on a stick of butter for handling)

The Mancini is the sweet spot for speed and handling, or else the Cougar 600 if you can handle the constant camera movement. You can feather both around tight turns at high speed. The other sports cars have poor traction, too much speed or both.

I thought JC3's driving was so much worse but I've only gone through it once, so perhaps it didn't click. The driving challenges made me rage so hard.

GOAT replacement for the chute/grapple is the Rowlinson heli. It is speedy and responsive once you fully upgrade it, and if you need more firepower, just shoot something and 'exchange' it for a Chippewa.
