Just Cause 2
’s environment, a colorful island named Panau, is being called a “playground” by Avalanche Studios. As explained in the latest developer diary, the island is rich with opportunities — players can hijack cars, boats and helicopters to execute missions in Panau’s city, jungle, desert, and beach areas.Just Cause 2is essentially an open-world-ass, open-world action game.
But it’s not the max. There’s a realistic grounding here. Rico may have a bananas grappling hook, but doesn’t possess the tentacle-laden, wall-running powers of Mercer inPrototypeor a magical hammer that can smash an entire planet like the one included inRed Faction: Guerrilla. Still,Just Cause 2has its charms — we don’t often take down shadow organizations in open-world action titles.
