Is it sad that this is the highlight of my Wednesday? xD

Anyways, entertaining review still, though I don't know much about the game itself so I guess some of the points were lost on me.
I own the game and yeah...what he said pretty much sums it up. All he left out were the ninjas and the really really really bad asian accents.

I am a bit confused about one thing...Yahtzee hates the stronghold sequences from JC2, but Saints Row 2 (which he loves so much) had practically the exactly same formula for their stronghold missions.

The enemy AI in this game is odd. Why have an AA gun in your base if you are not going to use it to shoot down my chopper, instead they rely on their puny little side-arms.

Why even bother having all sort of vehicles in their base and not use them, they didn't leave a tank there for me to steal it, right?

At least, the game world is pretty, I still can't get enough of flying around or driving along the coast, and that island with the japanese grampas was a blast to play through.

A really funny review, the first game was good, the big map gave it a lot of life, I hope the same applies to this one.

Ifelt about the first pretty much what Yahtzee felt about Painkiller; a game for mere fun and everything else is irrelevant.

Great review. It's the funniest in a while actually, had me giggling like an idiot.

I wanted to post a topic *fart* but due to the fat *typo "fact"* that I'm new to the escrapist I couldn't find out how TO! Fortunately I found this "TOPIC"(?)*pause with facepalming* and will hence forth be doing much non facepalming for review I've just watch on just cause 2! I had been feeling of late that Ya*gone for poo**10minutes later* thzee had lost a little something something! This review however restored all my faith in the cork hat wearing pom!

Well-written AND humorous. No wonder he gets paid the big Escapist bucks to do this on a weekly basis.


Seriously, this was pretty fucking funny.

One more awsome-totaly-non/slightly-realistic thing is that the Silver Bullet (from blackmarket) can takeoff from almost any location: (besides the beach.. damn stones) your local backyard, the forest nearby, tall buildnings, oh and did I mention the "takeoff-upsidedown-up-a-small-hill-in-a-forest" takeoff? now that takes the price :D

Awsome game! :D

At last! someone who said it wasn't that great! you could've said it's the same basic gameplay mechanics as Mercenaries or Red Faction 3... XD

All that is important in a game like Just Cause 2 is fun. Don't want to do the stupidly annoying missions? Don't. GO BLOW MORE CRAP UP. It's quite entertaining.

And the world is so amazingly massive they created the entire Lost island. No, seriously, go check it out. If that's not a reason to at least try the game, nothing is.

Pretty good, although I couldn't tell if he was criticizing it for not being realistic or not, if he was, then Why? The games devs have said they don't want it to be realistic.

I agree with the rest though, stronghold missions just piss me off >_>.
