 An okay Game March 1, 2008
Just Cause is a GTA-ish type game that is not as good as GTA. I found the game to be a little monotonous and frequently glitchy. There are some cool features in the game such as parachuting and flying a good variety of different planes, and the explorable area in this game is HUGE. To be honest though, I found myself playing it through just to finish it, even though I wasn't always having fun while doing it. If you can get it for under 15 dollars you may be satisfied with your purchase.

This game is perhaps the worst video game i have ever played.
yes the graphics are nice but the gameplay is horrific, boring, and just plain not fun, i rented this game and after 5 minutes i had enough and i gave it another 20 minutes and no improvement.
Negative:
The music is anoying, the controls suck, jumping off of car roofs is only fun the first 20 times, not realistic at all, environment is unplayable despite it being a huge map (you have to stick close to the roads).
this game could have been amazing if they worked with rockstar but then again GTA 4 is coming out at the end of april.
if you like GTA, this game will make you mad lol. Don't bother buying or renting.
BLEH, Buy it only if it's onsale. January 14, 2008

I bought this game for 22 bucks plus tax and now I feel like I was ripped off. I played the game for maybe about an hour and have never picked it back up. I'm a little disappointed. It's like a crappy, blurry version of GTA, except in the bahamas.
Lots of cool stuff to ride on. But it doesn't seem like you could ever die. It feels like the game is made for a little kid. The aiming is pretty much done for you, yet the ability to drive just plain sucks.
Not even worth stealing.
 Like a vacation...everything looks great, but I'm still bored. November 24, 2007
From a technical perspective, the 360 version of Just Cause stands out for a few reasons. The game engine is very capable and manages to render the huge areas on the fly with little loading times. Everything has a nice sheen and overall, the game looks awfully good. While the in-game models look fairly average, the island of San Espirito looks alive, bustling with activity. The sheer depth of it over the horizon is what grabs you from the initial parachute drop. This one-ups GTA...
Unfortunately, like a lot of similar games, you'll end up playing some repetitive missions, and the game can bog down a bit here and there (I found myself not playing it for a while as a result). It's not that bad, but you start to feel like you're going from one end of the island to the other, over and over, for nearly the same objectives. There are some side-quests to add some variety, but they too aren't all that interesting. Fortunately, Just Cause adds the addition of the grappling gun and parachute, which make exploring the island a bit more enjoyable, in and of themselves. With the meat of the gameplay being a bit lackluster, at least they made getting around in the game more enjoyable.
Not what I was hoping for November 7, 2007

This game seemed like it would be awsome but I found it difficult to control, lacking in story and just kind of annoying to watch. I think that fans of the GTA format of games might like it but it has less story and activitys then even the first GTA for playstation. However I am not the best to judge this game since I am more a fan of KOTOR and Oblivion RPG style games then the GTA format
