It's an open world game that you can traverse as you see fit with the standard story missions, side missions and collectables to spend your time on. You are Rico, sent in by some CIA-esque bosses to stir up trouble and inspire the locals to overthrow the countries dictator leader, Mendoza.

The game is a free roaming action adventure title, in the vein of "Grand Theft Auto" although the city landscape has been replaced by a series of islands that make up a fictional South/Central American country. Speaking of looks, graphically it's hit and miss, suffering from frequent instances of pop-in, and it occasionally looks like a game from the previous console generation.Some twelve years later, I am again using my Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature to play the 360 version of "Just Cause".

The tornado is pretty radical, and the swirling winds do mean that using your parachute is a bit of a lottery, but the others barely change the gameplay at all. When the fastest way to complete a mission is killing yourself and letting the respawn take care of the tough stuff for you, you know something has gone wrong.Įxtreme weather has been touted as one of the selling points for Just Cause 4, but that too is a disappointment. If you die en route, often you'll be respawned not where you died or even at the previous check-point, but right next to the objective you were attempting to get to only now there's no enemies around. Sometimes you'll be battling through innumerous baddies in order to reach – usually – a console that you'll have to press triangle next to before moving on to another one. There's also a wingsuit for gliding, and so combining the three lets you traverse the map quickly and in style, playing 'the floor is lava' to your heart's content, without ever having to travel on foot like some kind of peasant.

The parachute can be deployed and retracted via a quick tap of the X button, and while the aiming reticule is positioned over any structure – wall, ceiling, tree, innocent bystander – giving L1 a push will allow Rico to quickly zip to that point. Rico can use a vast arsenal of guns and explosives in his quest for Third World political upheaval, but it's his grappling hook and parachute that are perhaps the stars of the show. Rico, you see, has a PhD in Advanced Explosionomics, and by God, he's going to use it. Just point us at the genocidal tyrant, hand us the nitroglycerine, and we'll have him deposed in time for Match of the Day. There's some sort of background story involving his father, and weapons of mass destruction, and something called "the agency", but it's all just an excuse to give Rico things to blow up real good. Series hero Rico Rodriguez, a leather-clad, bearded renegade who looks like he could play the stereotypical sleazy love rival in a Hugh Grant rom-com, is in the mood to usurp a South American dictator.
