It's amazing. I highly recommend you run to your nearest retailer and pick it up.
It's the largest game world I've ever seen with jaw dropping draw distances and it's immensely fun! I'm playing on Experienced/Hard so it can be hard at times, but never overly so.
What's been most surprising to me is how you're simultaneously a badass and very vulnerable at the same time. Many sandbox games I've played you're either one or the other. For example there are helicopters a plenty and when you're rocking out a base you're the badass, but if you aren't watching incoming rockets or fighting off other helicopters well you're going to explode and be vulnerable on the ground. When you're on the ground all you have is your grapple hook, guns and explosives.
The grapple hook is incredibly fun because it latches on to ANYTHING and has a very long reach. Nothing is more satisfying in a game than attacking an enemy base with a helicopter, getting attacked from multiple sides and after your copter blows up you jump out to free fall, deploy your parachute, grapple to an enemy helicopter, kill the passenger, then throw out the pilot to steal the copter to continue your reign of terror and it was all done without touching the ground. JOYGASM!
I've logged six hours so far and I can say with confidence that there's easily over 100 hours of game here. Get this game.

How is it compared to the first game? The first game was pretty fun but the physics killed it for me. I hit a telephone pole with my chopper and the chopper blew up... and then it happened again, same telephone pole, haha... couldn't pick it up again after that.
ReplyDeleteJuniper,
ReplyDeleteIf you go out, today, and steal a helicopter. Then take that same helicopter and fly it into a telephone pole, I'll bet you anything it will blow up. Then, repeat the whole process and I'll also wager that the second chopper will blow up to.
Just saying...
And the telephone pole will be unfazed. Don't forget that part.
ReplyDeleteLets just saying that my flying is "aces" and that I haven't hit any poles yet. This game is tits.
ReplyDeleteI'm talking about a small bump, as in I'm hovering and trying to blow some jeeps up and my nose taps the telephone pole. I didn't ram it at 200mph or anything, haha, that would be understandable.
ReplyDeleteSo my nose taps a telephone pole while I'm hovering and BOOM! I'm dead, haha...
I think the telephone pole complaint is fair. Even if Brjahu is right about the real life phone pole example, we're not playing Just Cause 2 for realism...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amateria. I know I can be a picky gamer at times, haha... sorry... maybe I'll make a post of the huge list of games I love cuz it's much longer than the list of games I hate.
