If it's as poorly optimised as the first one, I'll give it a miss thanks...
Great if you wanna use a joypad and console.. but for pc, the origional sucked with a widescreen monitor and keyboard/mouse combo

hmm im surprised this hasnt been revisted. The optimisation isn't great but theres tweaks, and I can play it fine with settings maxed on widescreen (altho it gets a little choppy at times and i should really use the tweaks). I completed the game with keyboard and mouse which controlled fine although i have an xbox controller now so I shall compare. Everyone should at least try the demo, because this game is pretty damn good. YES it has a demo! and you can mod the demo. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1632-Just-Cause-2miserable sod even kindof likes it, he can't quite admit it but he struggles to hate it.

I tried the demo it was a big fat meh for me. Controls were somehow odd, black market annoying (something that can only increase in the game) and tbh. the only part of Just Cause I enjoyed were the main missions! While I like the idea of a open world, I need a guide for it. If I wanted to run through a world not knowing what to do, I'd play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: Now with red planes!

I approached it with the same what do i need to do attitude but you really have to properly sandbox it up and screw around to have fun

I'm going to get it once I can a) find it cheaply or b) when my dissertation and exams are over.

Bought this the other day and had to upgrade windows to play it. Stupid DirectX 10. It's a fun game but the voice acting/ storyline/ main missions are a tad shite. There's a monster truck with grenade launchers on the roof though.

It's such a relaxing game. Played the demo, but it doesn't really give you enough time to do anything really fun, might get it when it's cheaper and i've upgraded my pc.

It's really a case of if you even slightly liked the demo you'll love this. It's not the greatest game ever made, but it has some of the greatest game moments (there is some genuinely beautiful scenery you'll sometimes just randomly come across). It also, despite fairly terrible voice acting, has one of the best incidental lines in any game.

It's great fun You can max it out with a 4870 and get more than playable frame rates
