ActiveXbox.com: Just Cause (Xbox 360) - Review | |

So what makes Just Cause enjoyable despite being a very short and repetitive game? Well its easy to pick up and play for a start, the controls are very well done and it won't be very long before you are driving around, jumping from one car to anther thanks to the stunt buttons and flying over head via either your parachute or in a helicopter (or maybe even a fully blown plane). The game has a massive island set out in front of you, separated out into various smaller areas with no load times. You run around, pulling people out of their cars and then driving off with your new vehicle, then you are almost instantly chased by the police. The game has a number of different weapons, but it also has a few gadgets for you to use as well, these are the Grapple Hook and the Parachute, both of these are important parts of the game as you will be using the grapple hook to grab onto cars and helicopters so you then get hoisted into the air and control your parachute to do various stunts which mostly involve you jumping into cars below you or grabbing onto a helicopter above you. To give an example of how this works, say you steal a fast car and for whatever reason you go flying over a cliff top, how about your press the stunt button and jump onto the roof of the falling car and then jump off at the last minute with your parachute out and slowly slip down to the ground, its bits like this in Just Cause that make it so enjoyable. | ||
