The heat on you is increasing and you end up on a mountain road with your chances of survival dwindling away. As your enemies close in on you, you send your vehicle careening off the mountainside in an apparent suicidal attempt at freedom. At the last instant, you yank the cord that rests close to your chest and release your parachute just in time to glide away from the fireball that is now your vehicle. Your defeated pursuers look on in despair and disbelief as you sail away into the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to my PC review of <em><strong>Just Cause 2<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This is just an example of the kind of action this game dishes out on a regular basis\u00a0on the fictional tropical inland of Panau located in south-east Asia. Rico Rodriguez is the protagonist in this sequel and he returns with a bang. The basis of the story is that after the events of the first game, your former CIA boss Tom Sheldon, has apparently gone rogue. Now being a top CIA agent and more importantly his prot\u00e9g\u00e9, you know his <em>modus operandi<\/em> (M.O. or Method of Operating) and as such, you are the best one to track him down.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause21-jpg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause21_thumb-jpg.jpg?resize=300%2C188\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will give no spoilers here about the story but I will move on to tell you more about the gameplay.

No worries here, as there is a small learning curve involved for those persons (like myself) that did not really play the original. This learning curve is well taken care of in the beginning lull of the storyline. Armed with a grappling hook arm attachment and the gimmicky unlimited parachutes, Rico grabs a few guns, some ammo and then sets off. The only reason I say it is gimmicky is because it isn&#8217;t really true to life. You can&#8217;t just launch a any number of chutes at any given time but then again, we all need to keep in mind that it is just a game, even if the grappling hook is a bit more believable. Never mind the gimmicks though, as both the hook and the parachuting constantly come in handy and are real life-savers if there ever were any.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause229-jpg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause229_thumb-jpg.jpg?resize=301%2C188\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The action heats up when you learn that the evil dictator Pandak Panay has been running the island of Panau into ruin.

Each faction has 100 and while some hide in plain sight, you get the feeling that some may never be found. The Ular Boys need back their ancestral skulls, The Roaches, their drug drops and the Reapers are in search of black boxes. This adds depth to the game and gives the player even more to do or look forward to.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\" width=\"550\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"183\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause236-jpg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause236_thumb-jpg.jpg?resize=180%2C112\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"183\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause232-jpg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause232_thumb-jpg.jpg?resize=180%2C112\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"183\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause230-jpg.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/justcause230_thumb-jpg.jpg?resize=180%2C112\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Added to these, are 2,700 weapon, armour and vehicle parts (900 each) that can be used to upgrade your weapon attributes, maximum health and vehicle capabilities respectively.

Just Cause 2 strikes a virtually perfect balance between the two and does it with ease. The Avalanche Engine 2.0 upon which it is based, runs admirably, even on budget and mainstream graphics solutions that I tested it on; albeit with some reduced detail.
