Just Cause 2 is a sandbox style game like GTA or Saints Row, but with a twist, you have a awsome physics engine being used extremely well, your Grappling hook can be used to hook on to being to drag you up to them, or to pull people or enemies off their feet, but thats not all i found it very enjoyable while being chased by cars to shoot the grappling hook on their cars then then on to nearby trees or the ground and watch to just crash.
The graphics are pretty sweet too, just flying over a mountain or city and looking down looks awsome, and its been awhile since i saw a game that attempted waves and did them well, when sky diving at the very start of the game you will see some awsome mountains.
The story and voice acting of this game are pretty crap acctually but who cares when you can shoot a grappling hook onto a person then a tree and watch them hang there or on to the bottom of a helicopter.
you can also order in weapons or vehicles from anywhere for cash, and get extracted and dropped off for faster movement on the giant country that you are in, but extraction cannot be used while being chased or during a mission but the other two can which is awsome, get your rocket launcher whenever you need it instead of lugging it around.
all in all if you like GTA or Saints Row not for story but you gameplay, this game is awsome and i hope to see Havok Physics used like this in alot more games, also the land mass is huge i was suprised by how big it acctually is, this game should be giving alot more game designers ideas in the future.
