I hate games that are big on graphics, but the character modeling was annoyingly bad. No matter what kind of terrain the dude is on, going uphill or downhill, he never leans forward, he just clomps along in that same robotic trot. Try running up a hill like that, it doesn't work.

Also the goal of the demo seemed to be to defeat some Communist guerrillas, and so I didn't want to win, I'm usually on the Communist guerrillas' side.
It was like trying to kill Subcomandante Marcos. Evil mission.

My little nephew was just over with his mom and dad, and the game. I guess you can actually work with the so called "Communist Guerrillas" in the game. They're not very Pinko like I'd like, but they're supposed to represent the Che Guevara side of Communism? None of the factions seem to be well developed, and I've kinda just been killing everyone except the civilians... (True Commie style. )

have and played JC1. was challenging for the 1st week....2nd week....ok. after that...total mind numbing repetition. the side missions had different purpose but the exact same way of completion. lost interest 1/2 way through. some of the gadgets were cool and fun...but not enough to keep interest to take over 30some provenances. liked the idea though...always wanted to run a desperate guerrilla war in a small Banana Republic...maybe that will become my "hobby" when i retire to Belize....

Hello all! New BOP player here... I did download the Just Cause 2 demo and it looks like a pretty cool game, but i'm going to wait for the price to drop down to $20-$25 before I get the whole thing.

I like the fact you can pretty much drive/fly anything moving in the game.
