Just Cause is a great game, but for too few reasons. It has many downsides and few (but extreme) upsides. The open ended environment is by far the best I have ever seen and really takes advantage of what the Xbox 360 can process. The lighting is really what makes the game beautiful and there are lots of moments were you will realize this (whether atop a sharp cliff, or flying among the clouds in an airplane). Beyond that, Just Cause falls short in just about every other category. If you are looking for an all around great game, go for something else. If you really like the sandbox type games and just playing around in them, Just Cause definitely won’t leave you disappointed. |
| Sweet to the Core |
| |
Open Gameplay Environment. Extremely vast and fun to explore.
|
| | Vehicles. 89 total cars, boats, and airplanes!
| | | Lighting Effects. The lighting simple looks amazing.
|
| Going Bad |
| | Overall Graphics. Although the lighting looks amazing, the overall graphic quality is not so great.
|
| Rotten to the Core |
| | Missions. Easy and boring.
| | | Targeting System. Makes the game way too easy.
| | | Map. Tiny and not very helpful. You will be pulling out your PDA every few seconds to make sure you are on track.
| | | No Multiplayer. Multiplayer would probably be ten times more insane, but sadly Just Cause is only a single player experience.

There are lots of weapons to use and killing is a normal occurrence in the game. There are also occasional references to drugs. Beyond that, there is nothing else to worry about. Compared to other M rated games, such as Saints Row, Just Cause would be considered mild. |
