Just Cause 2

So, I was going through my games to find some I hadn't yet reviewed. I found a good one. (All my games are AAA titles btw, I rent the okay ones) If the year ended right now, this would be the best action game of the year. Just Cause 2 has you playing as U.S. army specialist Rico Rodriquez as you venture to the island of Panau to find out why Russia, Japan and China are so interested in this island. The gameplay in this is just awesome. The guy has a grappling hook that you can use to get to places. It also has a link feature that you can do to: hang an enemy from a ceiling, whip a car off the side of a bridge, carry some high explosives by helicopter, etc. The protagonist also always seem to have a parachute as well, which another element to the gameplay. Mix that with some guns, lots of vehicles and a large open world and you have a fricking amazing action game. I haven't really noticed a soundtrack in this game because I'm too immeresered with the gameplay. The story is okay, It's a very shallow, the American always wins, type story. With that said, this game has huge stereotypes about Americans, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Portugeuse and Australians. I being Austalian, did not really appreciate that. This game could offend. The voice-acting is shit. Why do all the Spanish people sound the same? But still this is a fun game and my action game of the year thus far. 8.5/10.
