Great ideas, average execution
Just Cause is an open-world action game and Avalanche Studio's debut project. It takes place in a fictional (presumably Latin American) country San-Esperito, you play as a top-class operative Rico Rodriguez sent by the secret organization called "The Agency" to help local guerilla movement overthrow local establishment in the name of freedom and democracy while pushing local cartels to fight each other in the meantime. You can shoot through various missions, complete in races and collect boxes and other mandatory collectibles scattered all across San-Esperito, destabilize regions and support revolutioners on their way to reclaim their ground and the freedom of all citizens. While progressing through the story, you will be awarded with hideouts, where you can heal, save, restore ammo and grab parked vehicles. Huge and diverse open world is also one of the game's key features. And by huge, I mean REALLY HUGE. To traverse through hundreds and hundreds of square kilometers, you're given a whole bunch of different aerial, water and ground means of transportation, including jet planes, military helis, armed pickup trucks and speedboats. Unfortunately, the driving controls are far from perfect, and driving a car can become really tedious and frustrating, especially when you are chased by an army of government officials or trying to beat a race on a mountain road. The steering almost makes you feel like you are driving a smoothing iron on ice. That's one of the reasons why I used the grappling gun (another tool for transportation, you'll use it a lot, trust me) more often than any car or bike (which have an awful habit of launching you forward like a catapult after even the smallest bump on the road). Another big issue was the braindead AI. When neutral NPCs didn't try to get under your crossfire, they rammed you with cars. And oh boy, did it hurt. Overall, I give it a 7/10. A worthwhile experience, though be prepared to fight the game itself for your fun.
