Well the voice-acting and dialogue... The game design and structure.. The missions and combat... I just didn't like the general game. Just felt clunky, awkward and badly executed and designed and not too fun... I'm glad I borrowed it off a friend.

Voice acting and dialogue is terrible indeed, but to be ignored imo. The rest, I mostly disagree, save for a few control niggles, but hey, to each their own!

I'd have to agree with magx01 here. From what I've seen and played, Just Cause 2 seems like an excellent sandbox game. It's pure fun! It doesn't enjoy the deep storyline of GTA games, but I don't think it needs to, in order to be enjoyed. It's like The Saboteur, only with more polish and a greater fun factor. It's pretty much either a AAA title or just short of it.

Shit, that reminds me I bought The Sabotuer for $15 and have yet to have actually played it! I should get on that (when I am feeling better). Did you like that game?

I found the Saboteur pretty damn entertaining! One of the best sandbox games I've played. And I'm very rough on sandbox games as they aren't particularly my favorite type of games.

Really?

Huh. I'll let you know what I think when I give it a shot, but that may not be for a while.

Here's how the Saboteur was made;

Developer1: OK, so, let's make a game. What setting should we use?

Developer2: Well ... WWII seems pretty popular! I was thinking Paris under German occupation.

Developer1: Great! WWII era, amazing idea! And who's the bad guy?

Developer2: Some Nazi guy?

Developer1: Yes! Nazis are bad, the crowd's gonna love that! OK, stages. What stages do we have for the game?

Developer2: I was thinking no stages at all. Make it a sandbox, free roaming ...

Developer1: Oooh, sandbox! Like GTA! Yes, that always sells well. And what do you do there?

Developer2: You ... blow shit up?

Developer1: Ahahaha! Marvelous, MARVELOUS! Everyone loves a good explosion, yes, yes, go on ... what else do you do?

Developer2: Um ... free running seems to be pretty popular these days. How about being able to climb everywhere?

Developer1: Like Prince of Persia or Assassins Creed? Splendid, splendid, yes ... and what else?

Developer2: Uh ... driving segments? Like races or collecting cars for your garage?

Developer1: Ravishing idea, ol' chap! Now, what about our protagonist?

Developer2: I was thinking he's Irish.

Developer1: Magnificent! Everyone loves the Irish! So ... he's an Irish, saboteur, driver, free runner, yes?

Developer2: Well, if you put it like th-

Developer1: Love it already! And his HQ is a Parisian cabaret!

Developer2: What? No, I-

Developer1: And there will be boobies! Sweet, naked, round, bouncing French boobies, yes!

Developer2: Now, just hold-

Developer1: And his potential love interest OWNS the cabaret! Ahahaha!

Developer2: My God! You're insane!

And that's pretty much my take on it.

I'm sold.


And lol.
