Just Cause 2 is a sandbox game in which you are an American agent named Rico Rodriguez on the island of Panau. You have been sent there after a rogue agent.
The storyline doesn't really matter at all because all you're going to be doing is wreaking havoc.
GameplayThis game is basically a playable action movie.
It is a massive sandbox game where the main objective is to cause as much chaos as possible. This involves hijacking vehicles, killing people, and blowing stuff up. Causing chaos helps unlock missions which helps you progress. There is no "finishing" the game as you can play it forever. You can, however, strive for 100% completion—which is achieved by destroying various locations on the island. Unfortunately, you cannot get 100% completion without
a mod because of a bug that the developers never fixed for some reason. Vehicles have a tendency to blow up after Rico ejects from them.
A major part of the game is the grappling hook—a tool that lets you grapple onto any surface and hijack vehicles. The grappling hook can be used with the parachute to provide a unique and pretty efficient way of traveling (though stealing a military jet and crashing it into a village is much more fun). You can also attach two objects together with the grappling hook but it's pretty weak so it will probably snap if you use it on moving vehicles.
Another major part of the game is Rico's amazing ability to break the laws of physics (e.g. grappling to the ground while falling breaks his fall) and have infinite parachutes. He has near-perfect balance so he can stand on moving cars and aircraft easily. He also seems to be extremely resistant against bullets and therefore must be some sort of superhero or demigod.
