In Just Cause, you are a Latin field operative and specialist in regime change backed by top secret US government agency who will overthrow the corrupt government of San Esperito. The rogue South American state is suspected of stockpiling Weapons of Mass Destruction, and it's your mission to negate the threat this poses to world peace. It could be to your advantage that the tropical paradise is about to implode as various factions vie for power - it just needs a gentle nudge in the right direction.
Just Cause offers the freedom to tackle your assignments however you want: playing the island's factions against one another, inciting a rebellion among the masses and building alliances with rebel forces and drug cartels. The action takes place in an incredibly detailed game world which consists of over 250,000 acres of mountains, jungles, beaches, cities and villages. The island can be explored by land, sea and air, as you will have at your disposal one of the most varied and exciting array of vehicles ever seen in a video game.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
The game plays horribly, overwhelming amount of enemies with to few options for cover or health packs. I'm never not under constant attack by helicopters that continuously spawn seconds after the first is blown up. Random crashing causing me to have to replay mission is also aggravating. The game would be more bearable if travel wasn't so bad. I can never find a boat when I need one and the majority of vehicles feel like I'm driving on ice. I'd honestly skip this one and watch the missions on YouTube if you want to see what happens.
First things first, make sure you lock your FPS to 60 and enable VSync through Nvdia/AMD control panel. Also in order to play in a modern resolution set lauch arguments for it (''/width=1920 /height=1080" or whatever your monitor resolution is)
Now to the game it self, don't expect much. I would only recomend it for those who are really into the franchise and are curious to see how it all began. The gap between this and Just Cause 2 its insane and its the one I would recomend playing it first.
You're always surrounded by enemies but they're dumb and easy to get rid of so it doesn't end it up being a real problem.
Sometimes however the difficulty will increase sharply, specially when enemies have armored vehicles such as tanks and choppers.
The game doesn't overstay its welcome and can be beaten in about 8 hours only focusing in the primary missions.
While some actives such as liberations can be fun and offer some interesting rewards, I honestly wouldn't waste much time with it. The best rewards come from the main missions anyway.
I've seen some fairy negative reviews for this game here so I'm just posting my overall experience because I don't really think it deserves the hate. It's old and clunky sometimes, with weird difficulty spikes but completly playable and enjoyable if approached from the right angle.
I can't say this game aged well, we have many games in this style that plays better BUT in my opinion this makes this game better. You don't expect too much from it now and because of that instead of getting mad at weird physics you are laughing because of that! I would reccomend playng it just to see how much video games improved and i bet you will have moment when you enjoy this wonderfull mess <3
