Internet. Serious Business.

After playing Final Fantasy XIII for a few weeks, and ultimately deciding that the game is boring, and pretty much a terrible Final Fantasy game it was time to go find something “fun”. Just Cause 2 has delivered in a massive way.

I hadn’t even heard about this game until I saw it in the top 10 PS3 games on a gaming board for the week, and decided to check out the Demo on the PSN. Took me about 15 minutes playing that before I decided this game needed to be purchased rather than the new lighting fixture I needed.

Basically, if you loved GTA: San Andreas you will most likely love this game. The game world is massive. 400 square miles according to the game box, which is in comparison about 10 times larger than any GTA world including GTA IV.

So…why is this game awesome? For one thing you have a grappling hook like you are Bionic Commando that you can use in so many ways you can do that all day and never gt tired of it. You can shoot it up a head and then throw out your parachute and travel as a land parasailer on your own momentum. This is actually the most efficient way to travel in most cases. You can attach cars to aircraft, you can pull down statues by attachign them to cars , and you can even do this kind of tomfoolery:

That brings us to another amazing feature that is exclusive to only the PS3 version. Video Capture and Youtube Uploads. That video there is a combination of video captures put together with an editor, but we can all upload vids with little effort. You can either have the game record the last 30 seconds of your game, or you can turn it on manually and it will record up to 10 minutes of footage. Then you just upload it to Youtube by signing into PSN, and your youtube account. It’s really easy. Just look at the related vids to the none I posted for gameplay features. There are hundreds of user videos up by now.

We have all kinds of fun with that feature, and can even do competitions and stuff since we can all get vids up so easy. This is probably the most fun I’ve had with a Sandbox game since San Andreas. Easily more fun for me than GTA IV. Not as pretty, but it is over the top and has much more potential with the freedom and unrealistic physics.
