Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review:: In a nutshell: Grand Theft Auto might give you the freedom of a whole city or county but in Just Cause you’ve got the task of overthrowing a 250,000 acre island all on your lonesome in the world’s first Che Guevara simulator. The lowdown: Taking inspiration not just from Grand Theft Auto but also Mercenaries and old Amiga classic Midwinter you play CIA black ops agent Rico Rodriguez as he attempts to overthrow the evil dictator of the fictional island of San Esperito. Despite the huge island and the complete freedom of movement you have on it the game actually only has 21 story missions. There are over 300 side missions but it quickly becomes obvious that these fall into only a very small number of different styles, not all of which are all that entertaining. What makes the game fun though is just wandering off and doing your own thing, which invariably involves upsetting the local military or drug lords and instigating a massive, impromptu firefight. The game may lack depth and variety but it offers a freedom to explore and cause chaos that few others can rival. Most exciting moment: As impractical as it may seem you’ve always got a grappling hook and a parachute, which allows you to lock onto any vehicle and commandeer it whenever you want. It also lets you perform some utterly outrageous stunts as you parasail behind boats and jump from a moving aircraft straight onto a road convoy miles below you. Since you ask: Instead of storing the island of San Esperito as a gigantic map the game uses a new technique called procedural synthesis to create the landscape on the fly. This is the only way to make such large scale graphics work on the PS2, especially when you’re flying miles above the island. The bottom line: Che Guevara meets James Bond in this shallow but satisfying sandbox game. HARRISON DENT Customer Reviews

 Rating: - FantasticalBeing one of the last few big games that will be released on the xbox before the 360 takes over and being that I can't afford one of those, this is a fantastic game! The graphics are stunning from a distance and it is only when you examine everything from very close up that some of the buildings are a little disappointing! The lifespan of this game is almost endless and I have played it for about 4 hours non stop and there is no sign of it freezing. The map is unbelievably huge and there is so much to discover from hidden air bases to secret cars etc. The only thing that lets it down is that u can only save the game at certain points or whenever you return to a safe house, tho this isn't too much of a problem as there are lots of them!
