Just Cause 2

Anyone played the demo for it?
Came out on the 4th.
Actual game comes out on the 26th.

I played the demo and was quite impressed by it.

First one was really good aswell, that map was MASSIVE!

Enjoyed the first..the 2nd looks a lot of fun too.
Map seems suitably huge which is nice.

I loved the first one but got stuck on the final mission and never played it again, will definitely be picking this up I think. Wonder why it's taken so long for them to come up with a sequel, Just Cause 1 was one of the first games I bought for my Xbox.

Not played the demo yet - had a quick look on youtube, looks good to me.

First one was pretty good too. Remember alternating between it & Scarface games at the time.

It probably took them a few years to build the new map.

Hated the first one, but the (demo at least) of the second is awesome fun, for just cruising about destroying things. Disappointing there's no multiplayer though.

The map is insanely big, full game's going to weigh in at 400sq miles, which is mahoosive (GTA San Andreas was 14 square miles, for comparison!)

Np multiplayer, that's a shot in the foot isn't it ?

Definitely imo, no idea why they've decided against it since it's the perfect environment for it!

If you've got it on the PC there's ways around the time limit. And the map restrictions!

Played Just Cause 1, liked it but didn't have a chance to finish the game.

Tried the demo, very impressive; but is it just me or do you find it hard to 'aim'? Maybe I'm just not used to the controls yet......

I've been playing the Demo this morning, I love it.

Deffo one for the buy list.
Pity there wont be an online side to the game.

I thought the same about aiming. Although when I stopped trying to manually aim it seemed to auto aim pretty well as long as you were pointing in their general direction.

Again, this is based on 30 mins of demo gameplay.... do you find it hard to 'take cover'? I prefer if there's a way to 'take cover' like they do in Grand Theft Auto 4. (back against the wall and still allow you to aim etc)

Maybe there's a way but I haven't found it yet.

There is a glitch on all the demos which allow you to plAy for longer than the alotted 30 minutes

search on you tube

I've not tried using cover yet just tend to grapple around the place like a nut job which seems to work. Try using the black market thing to call in some timed explosives. You can place loads then set them all off in one go or one by one.

Tried the demo, didn't like it because it's 3rd person perspective, just don't like that view and you can't change it.

Released tomorrow - Mine turned up today so shall give it a go and report back. Most reviews say it is excellent. I am looking forward to playing it properly!
