Anyone play this game? I read about it and it sounds like a game I've always dreamed about (being a commie rebel and ingniting a revolution to overthrow a currupt Central Amerikan country).



"Just Cause" plays like a jungle edition of "Grand Theft Auto." Both have giant landscapes to explore, and involve guns and stealing cars. But instead of working with the mob, you're starting a revolution to overthrow a Central American government.

This involves tasks such as going into villages to wipe out the cops, and starting a war between drug cartels. It's not for the kids. A fun part of "Just Cause" is the stunts; climbing on top of a moving car, then jumping onto your enemy, or using a grapple hook and a parachute to follow and hijack a vehicle.

The game has some flaws, such as giving you the ability to run up steep mountainsides, and the missions become repetitive. Also, there's some bad voice acting. This game could have been a lot better, but it's still worth a rental. Rated "M" for blood, drug reference, intense violence, language and sexual themes. (Ken Smith)

I had it from the video place for PS2 for like 1 day. I only played a hour. Shit is bullshit. If you used to the stuff that GTA offers you, you dont want to play that game.

The Pc demo sucked ass, seriously. I was looking forward to it too.

But the thing is, I dont think we should judge our opinions (mine included) on the demo. Because trustable reviewers (like the IGN action reviewer) and other game sites are giving it pretty good scores... averaging around a B to B- , 85%'er range... and they are already planning a sequel.

So maybe its one of those games that has a shitty demo but the full version is badass. Thats happened a lot before, to me at least, although i cant come up with a good example right now.. haha.
