Police stations let players replenish ammo and random encounters unlock additional resupply points and churches where Rico can lose his Heat, Just Cause’s take on the Wanted meter.īut those loyal to Medici’s totalitarian leader aren’t going to sit idly by while you destroy symbols of the beloved leader. Rico will also liberate airfields and docks, gaining access to boats, helicopters and planes. Once they’ve been chopped the vehicles can be delivered anywhere on the map. Many are home to a garage/chop-shop where Rico can dismantle stolen vehicles. In addition to helping advance the narrative, liberated settlements offer a variety of benefits to the player. Some explosions are so massive, they'll fill most (if not all) of your screen Photo: Photo: International Digital Times Most importantly, the backbone of the Just Cause gameplay experience is still liberating cities and towns from the control of a madman.
It’s pretty much exactly what we’ve come to expect: Rico bathes the country in the fires of freedom (and exploding fuel tanks) by destroying anything with the distinct red paint that identifies destructible elements of the environment. Using a combination of air, land and sea vehicles, plus a wingsuit and parachute, players lead Rodriguez from one settlement to the next. There’s a 25-mission campaign, which sees Rico looking to topple the government of Sebastiano Di Ravello who has assumed control of Rodriguez’s childhood home.
The game still focuses on the adventures of Rico Rodriguez a CIA spy who was born in Mexico, later moving to the fictitious country of Medici with his mother, before being recruited into the agency as a young man. And, let’s be honest, who wants to visit sync points or track down audio logs when they could be launching a convertible hundreds of meters through the air or riding a flaming gas canister off into the sunset?
It’s one of the largest environments on the market and packed with collectibles, but Just Cause maintains its appeal by providing the tools to perform stunts that rival Hollywood’s best performers. The Just Cause franchise inhabits an interesting corner of the video game scene.
