South America heats up in this sandbox-style action game.
Labeled With Eidos Interactive Just Cause Avalanche Studios

When a sandbox-style game comes out these days, it’s hard not to make comparisons to the perennial groundbreaker that was Grand Theft Auto III and its sequels. The recently-reviewed Saint’s Row is an excellent example of a game in this genre which unabashedly borrows elements of style and core gameplay mechanics, but attempts to build on that foundation. All this aside, let’s just get it out of the way and say that if you liked any of the 3-D GTA games, you’re no doubt going to enjoy Just Cause. Who, What, When, Where Just Cause takes place in the lush and vibrant made up islands of San Esperito in South America. This unstable country is under the control of a power-hungry and oppressing dictator who, as you might have guessed, is the guy you’re going to have to take out. You play the role of Special Agent Rico Rodriguez, an operative with an impressive weapons skill set and the uncanny ability to expertly handle boats, planes, helicopters and automobiles with ease. As my brother once said long ago while playing GTA3 for the first time, “Somebody who can do all this should really be doing something besides blowing up cars and killing hookers.” |
