    Just Cause 2 Demo now out

    Downloading now (1.4GB for PS3) Can't wait to play it, videos I've seen look ace!

    I hear its 30mins timed demo but that its a pretty big section of the game.

    Just played it through, it is time limited but that doesn't stop it being awesome!

    It's also on Steam

    Its SO stupid, and the combat feels medieval. But my god is it fun!
    Shoot one of the gas cannisters that flies up in the air, and then grapple on to it. It takes a bit of practice, but get it right and you'll go flying up in the air, it makes a cool escape

    I did it on my first try by mistake! Now I can't do it again easily!

    Had a 5min blast on it (wife is now watching a baby programme ) Parachited down to the petrol station, blew it up then had to come off it so I'll have another go tomorrow, looking very goo so far though!

    I love the running around and shooting but the cars feel to heavy when steering

    Re: Just Cause 2 Demo now out

    Almost bought it until I realised there isn't really much plot/story.

    It just seems like sandbox smashing the crap out of things for no real reason <cough> Assassins Creed </cough>

    Re: Just Cause 2 Demo now out

    I really enjoyed the demo but certainly won't buy it (at least at full price)

    Bad voice acting
    No story
    Fumbly controls
    Poor Driving

    shame

    I was thinking the same, maybe if it got heavily discounted it might be worth buying. I can see it getting tiresome running round blowing things up.

    Re: Just Cause 2 Demo now out

    Nearly got the first one on Steam in the sale, but reviews weren't complimentary... sadly, looks like their issues with the first game are exactly the same issues that all of you have with the sequel.

    Clearly haven't moved on much then

    Pity, as it sounded like it had a lot of potential. Sounds quite Far Cry 2-esque to me.

    Re: Just Cause 2 Demo now out

    I found the first to be far too big, pockets of action with no real sense of achieving anything, poor shooting mechanic, all the same as 2 I'm afraid.

    The action IS good, just not enough to keep me playing until completion, it gets boring after a while. Shame as i REALLY wanted to love this game but I've played all I want to in the demo. FC2 would be a good example yes

    Re: Just Cause 2 Demo now out

    The action is ridiculously over the top and fun, but the combat is too clunky in small spaces. Driving is poor, and the voice acting is just... terrible. Fun demo, I've actually played it for a few hours, but i definitely won't be buying.

    Same position as me, I hunted for Just Cause, found it for ~£7 and hovered over the Buy Now for ages while I read reviews and feedback.

    I didn't like FC2 much either, it's very similar - wide map, lots of different routes/options, a lot of potential to be great but no real goal and very, very samey to the point where I just gave up and haven't even tried it since.

    A 20% improvement on Just Cause, but only just. I felt like a cheap version of Spiderman, swinging around pointless helicopters.
