Just Cause

THE GOOD:
- This is the largest game in terms of map size ever created for PlayStation2...)*
- A nice range of unlockable weapons and vehicles which all handle pretty well.
- Interesting concept for a storyline and some great supporting characters.
- Lots of action: this is basically an interactive Steven Segal film.
- The re-usable parachute is just as much fun as it sounds...
- Mid-air hijacking of planes and helicopters, plus hijacking cars by landing on their roofs.
- Heavy Drops!

THE BAD:
- *...meaning you'll get lost or spend lots of time walking rather slowly.
- Graphically not so strong on textures or detail, but distance shots are nice enough, I suppose.
- Dull central character.
- Terrible and limited music, and the sound effects could do with a decent overhaul.
- Repetative side missions.
