Just Cause 2 review embargo lifts, we round ‘em up

justcause23

The review embargo for Just Cause 2 has lifted and the results are starting to trickle-in.

General consensus? Rather good.

As a matter of fact, it seems as though Avalanche has put out a game that looks up at you with its large puppy dog eyes and says: “Please take me home. I am a really good boy”.

We will update the list as more reviews are published.

Game’s out in the US today, and this Friday in the UK.

Looks like a great buy, For me, I do care about reviews for 80% of my game collection. for that 80% 7+ is a good game :) this seems to be 8s :)

I was very impressed by the demo. It was fun but the controls will take some time getting use to. I wish there was a custom setting option for the controls

Wow pretty suprised and impressed, seems they really improved over the first game, enjoyed the demo but just found the shooting to be crap

Too high score for this mediocre. 7 – is ideal for Just Cause

lol @ MTV’s “score”.

Tbh, I’m a little surprised to see so many eights. It felt more like a seven out of ten when I played the demo. Good for Avalanche Studios, though. :)

Very good scores, although I didn’t quite feel the demo like I thought I would. I think I’ll give it another go.
