Sure, Just Cause was forgettable. But the good folks over at Avalanche Studios along with watchful eyes from SQUARE ENIX and Eidos have put together an adrenaline pumping trailer of impossible proportions. Apparently the whole concept of Just Cause 2 is that you can do anything- from jumping from moving vehicles at full speed, to taking a ride on an exploding propane canister or even pretending to be a homicidal version of Spider-Man. Did you notice the fact that you can go to a floating whorehouse? Take that, romantic through lines of Mass Effect 2!!!
Here’s how the good folks at Avalanche’s PR firm describe it. Talk about setting expectations….Jeebus!
With over 400 square miles of some of the most incredible gameplay locations ever seen, Just Cause 2 gives you the freedom to take on the world in more ways than you can possibly imagine. Freedom to decide where to go: snow-topped mountain ski resorts, sun-kissed tropical beaches, beached oil tankers in the middle of a desert, floating brothels or lost Japanese WWII soldiers on ‘skull’ island.
Freedom to accept any mission: work for any of the three island factions, choose from almost 200 missions, challenges, assassinations and more. Freedom to bend reality to your cause: surf jet fighters into oil rigs, ‘helicopter hop’ from the burning wreckage of your aircraft and hijack your pursuer, devastate heavily defended military installations with nothing but your grapple and a snappy one-liner. Just Cause 2 gives you the freedom to make the game your own. This is your Just Cause.
As Rico Rodriguez, the Agency’s most powerful weapon, players must take on the island of Panau and its military regime in order to track down Rico’s former boss and mentor, Tom Sheldon, who has gone rogue with millions in Agency cash and intel. Using a unique grapple and parachute combination, there is no vertical limit as the air becomes your playground: grapple a passing plane in flight, hijack helicopters, BASE jump from the tallest buildings or mountains and leave a trail of chaos and destruction in your wake. Just Cause 2 offers players the freedom to attack missions any way they choose and, with over 100 vehicles and countless upgrades and collectibles, the choices for relentless adrenaline-fuelled action are limitless.
Just Cause 2 ships worldwide on March 26th, 2010.
