2 out of 5 stars THE LONG WAITING IN VAIN   October 20, 2006
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I'm going to put this sweet and short, this game sucks!!!!. a just wait a complete month to play this game following the reviews of game magazines, and the screenshot that the web page of EIDOS show us, and finally i had the chance to play this in my own xbox console and just worst 30 minutes of gameplay and never seen before from now. first all the characters are weak and thin, the firepower of the gun sound bland, the physics of all the vehicles are unrealistic, this men can walk across the edge of a mountain and never fall, like the amazing spiderman or the amazing glue man. the missions are boring and foolish, etc, etc, etc. I play Scarface and spyhunter nowhere to run and this game are far beyond better that this steamy guano pile(steamy beause this early launching).

I love the settings, the storyline premises, the environment and the carachters. I just wish that the AI wasn't as aggressive. You mostly end up in multiple cross-fire or your vehicule gets slammed from every possible direction. A little slow paste strategy would have helped the game. Anyhow it is 80 and sunny during the action, and the humidity level is very high...Rico should take it slow.

One of the best-looking games yet from Eidos, the 16-rated Just Cause is set in a vast tropical world which players can explore in a tempting array of almost 100 vehicles, including Jeeps, boats and helicopters.

Behind the handsome eye candy is an equally compelling caper involving corrupt governments, dodgy South Americans and Weapons of Mass Destruction. Where the game departs from reality is that here, at least, such weapons do actually exist.

Players sign up for a tour of duty with a secret American agency charged with triggering events to overthrow the gangsters and conmen who rule San Esperito. In a detailed world spanning 250,000 colourful acres, anything goes just as long as that evil ruling party loses its twisted grip on power -- teaming up with drug barons is every bit as legitimate here as infiltrating the corridors of power. Missions can be picked off in any order and the gameplay is both robust and thoroughly involving, with a number of neat touches; fans of the Nintendo SNES classic Pilotwings will literally jump at the chance to parachute from any of the aircraft for spectacular views of the vast landscape below.

There is bound to be a sequel, because this original is so good.
