In GTA: Sand Andreas there is an early mission where you and your buddy break into national guard base and steal some weapon crates. I know that I’m supposed to be reviewing Just Cause 2 but I think this is relevant. I don’t think I ever told you what happened to me when I played San Andreas so I will do this now. I’m not exactly sure why but I think that if I worked for them enough, they would eventually tell me where I can find some American agent that I was supposed to rescue… Or kill… or arrest… Seriously, I don’t even know at this point because I didn’t have enough time to actually even start liking the story because the game went from “OMG this is so awesome” to “OMG, this is Sand Andreas all over again”. Then the honeymoon ended and the game dropped me to the sandbox proper and told me to do missions for the local crime bosses. Whenever I was getting surrounded I could just spirit myself away style by leaping off from a roof, or grappling onto one. I could use vertical distance as cover, I could approach my enemies from above or from below. Even though the missions were linear I was floored by the freedom the grappling hook offered me. I would hijack the helicopters sent to intercept me and drop them down on their heads. I would climb skyscrapers and rain bullets on my enemies from the air.
I was the combination of the Punisher and the Spiderman. The first few missions made me feel like a superhero. Other than that, the whole grappling and parachuting concept was flawless. And yes, I could remap it but then it put the parachute key in an inconvenient spot.
The actual hand brake was something like shift or tab – something really inconvenient. If you hit it while driving it will instantly yank you out of the vehicle and send you soaring through the air. In JC2 the space bar is the “open parachute” button. In every game I have ever played on PC the hand brake was always mapped to the space bar. The gameplay was incredibly fun and intuitive… Well with the exception of the driving parts. When I first started playing, I absolutely loved the game.
The amount of vehicle types you can steal in this game is astonishing.
