Can't even get past the tutorial level because you're supposed to be picked up in a helicopter by an ally that never shows up. They just sit there hovering, waiting for you to "finish off the security forces" when there are none left. No amount of restarts fixes this

About the Game
Dive into an adrenaline-fuelled free-roaming adventure. As agent Rico Rodriguez, your orders are to find and kill your friend and mentor who has disappeared on the island paradise of Panau. There, you must cause maximum chaos by land, sea and air to shift the balance of power. With the unique grapple and parachute combo, BASE jump, hijack and create your own high-speed stunts. With 400 square miles of rugged terrain and hundreds of weapons and vehicles, Just Cause 2 defies gravity and belief.
UNIQUE VERTICAL GAMEPLAY - Take to the air like no other game. Experience total aerial freedom with the unique parachute and dual grapple
UNBELIEVABLE ADRENALINE-FUELLED STUNTS - Free fall, base jump, vehicle surf, para sail, skydive, grapple, slingshot, leap between vehicles, hang from helicopters, scale buildings. The impossible is within your grasp.
UPGRADED DUAL GRAPPLE - Your best tool is now a weapon. Fire two shots with the grapple hook and attach unwilling enemies to high-speed vehicles, hang them upside down from buildings, tether objects in mid air. The possibilities are as vast as your imagination.
DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF PANAU - Explore the island paradise; from sprawling cities, secluded beaches and towering mountain peaks – more than 400 square miles of your own personal playground.
EXPERIENCE TRUE FREEDOM - Hundreds of objectives can be completed in any way or order that you choose. When it’s time for a break from Agency business, kick back and enjoy all the attractions that Panau has to offer.

If you are getting into Just Cause series, this is where you should start. The graphics still hold, kinda. But the explosions look great. The story is somewhat serious. And it's map feels bigger than other JC games. A lot of vehicle variety. If you are the type of person who likes to get 100% completion in-game, then this will be your nightmare.
Still playable, but not without bugs. I recommend disabling bullet marks to avoid frequent crashes, otherwise, it's better to start the franchise with Just Cause 3
Quite janky, which i would overlook considering the game's age, were it not for the consistent crashing.
Bought the game for nostalgias sake it was great then it's great now. I personally prefer this version of rico over the one in JC3 and 4. he was more stoic and serious in 2 but they made him a goofball in the latest games. Just Cause 2 is a vast playground for people who like to blow stuff up freely. it's far cry on steroids.
This Has Aged Like Wine , still looks amazing , and this game bring back alot of memories
you blow stuff up because you're mexican spiderman. Buy it.
Fun game where you can just switch your brain off and cause chaos. Love Panau as the main setting of the game. The developer did a great job in making the setting immersive as if you are in South East Asia.
Best Just Cause out of the whole Series Its long fun entertaining Fast paced Chaotic Intense Classic
JC2 is a very nostalgic game for me. When it released in early 2010, I had finally found my footing after changing course of studies and moving to different city all alone. It think even back then, demos were not terribly common anymore – but this game had one, and I played the heck out of it. Destroying chaos items was just so much fun – after replaying the demo multiple times I knew I had to get this game. Two weeks later I went to the local store on release day and then proceeded to no-life the game to completion on my PS3. Well, except for the darn [i]Vanderbildt LeisureLiner[/i] that wouldn't spawn before they later patched it. The game was, somewhat literally, a blast. More than a decade later, in summer 2022 I decided to replay the game, wanting to add it to my ever-growing "100% Steam achievements" list. I played for a couple of hours, but it wasn't nearly as fun as I remembered it to be – in hindsight, this was due to my focus on getting all the achievements. This requ...
