I never played the other Just Cause games but I found this to be a tonne of fun simply because you can fight with a resistance against a dictator and blow a bunch of their stuff up. You can also drive around, cause havoc and flight around or just use the grapple. I don't think every game suits a grapple but for this game it can come in handy. I find myself using the parachute more than the grapple though. I use the grapple for climbing as the main character can't climb on his own seemingly. Good for a casual session and there are many weapons you can use as well. I would love to preserve this game on here. I have so much fun. Definitely more fun with a controller as the controlls weren't designed to be complex :)
