360 Gamer, what have you been smoking?!
Okay, technically the game is bigger than GTA, but that line could be interpreted in different ways, it could be talking about how big the world is, or how big the game is on a scale of it's fame.
But better than Oblivion? You guys are crazy.
I think this game shouldn't have gotten a 7/10, but thats just my opinion. Does anyone agree with what they said?
I don't think Just Cause is a bad game at all but it's certainly not brilliant. I found the gameplay fun (although there is too much disrespect to real world physics) and the game world is massive and beautiful, but it was let down by kinda clunky controls, a short storyline and incredibly repetitive side missions.
I disagree with everything 360 Gamer say:
9/10: Fuck off! I'd give it an 8 and that's being generous.
Bigger than GTA: Maybe, but overall it's much more samey than any GTA world. If everything was distinguishable and recognisable, like San Andreas but twice the size, it would be something to boast about. Areas of useless jungle and ocean aren't made any better by being bigger.
Better than Oblivion: Fuck off! Oblivion is one of my all time favorite games, Just Cause would be lucky to be in my top 100.
Best game yet on 360: Don't make me laugh. Just Cause was released on 22nd September 2006 in Europe and 27th September in the USA so I suppose they conveniently forgot about Condemned, Dead Rising, PGR 3, Far Cry, GRAW, Test Drive Unlimited, Hitman: Blood Money, The Godfather, Saints Row and probably a bunch more that I can't remember right now. And definitely Oblivion!
