    FEATURES

    Your world…Your rules! In Just Cause, you are a field operative and specialist in regime change backed by the CIA who will overthrow the corrupt government of San Esperito. The rogue South American state is suspected of stockpiling Weapons of Mass Destruction, and it’s your mission to negate the threat this poses to world peace. It could be to your advantage that the tropical paradise is about to implode as various factions vie for power – it just needs a gentle nudge in the right direction.

    Just Cause offers the freedom to tackle your assignments however you want: playing the island’s factions against one another, inciting a rebellion among the masses and building alliances with rebel forces and drug cartels. The action takes place in an incredibly detailed game world which consists of over 250,000 acres of mountains, jungles, beaches, cities and villages. The island can be explored by land, sea and air, as you will have at your disposal one of the most varied and exciting array of vehicles ever seen in a video game.

    • Freeform game-play – approach missions in any way you like, or break off from the fight and enjoy exploring the islands.
    • Over 250K acres of land to explore, the largest environment ever seen in a game!
    • Over-the-top Stunts – jump from vehicle-to-vehicle, parasail, skydive and base-jump…
    • Massive selection of vehicles – over 100 of the most varied, exciting array of land, sea and air vehicles ever seen in a video game.
    • Avalanche Engine ™ – procedurally generated landscape delivers a huge, beautiful, detailed world while eliminating loading times.
    • Wealth of missions – story missions, side-missions, bonus missions and many more; ensuring plenty of action spread throughout the islands.
    • Support team – Sheldon and Kane, two CIA field operatives, will provide you with reconnaissance info, extraction and vehicle drops.
    • Fly. The best way to explore San Esperito is by air!

    Just Cause is yet another sandbox game that takes a lot of hints from the immensely popular and far better GTA-series. On the surface the game actually looks full of potential but unfortunately it delivers very little. On the plus side you do get to wreak lots of mayhem as a secret agent in a tropical paradise and most of the action is completely over the top in the best way. You’re free to use a variety of vehicles including cars, motorbikes, tanks and even helicopters – and with your unlimited supply of parachutes (somewhat curious but very practical) you get to basejump of every bridge or mountain you come across. The missions in the game are pretty repetitive though (destroy X camps or Y roadblocks) and they get boring pretty fast. But what really keeps Just Cause from being even a somewhat moderately enjoyable run-of-the-mill shooter is the insane amount of bugs. This is by far one of the worst PC ports I’ve ever tried! Seriously, I keep getting stuck in environments over and over – which is even more annoying since you’re only allowed to save at save points. Also the draw distance on vehicles and environments is horrible – they just pop out from out of nowhere. Shadows and lighting effects look glitchy and the “motion blur” effect looks like the screen is experiencing some kind of weird static interference. On top of this the car handling is terrible – we’re talking “Alone in the dark”-bad! I never really expected much of the game in the first place but I was still amazed to find out it had this many issues. In many ways Just Cause reminds me of Total Overdose which was another (sort of) GTA-clone with a Latin flavor but with a much more focused gameplay. This game simply tries to much and achieves to little. Or maybe it was just yet another rushed release. Either way I personally wouldn’t recommend anyone buying it.
