you dont even need to play the first one believe me. 
 
and yes, just cause 2 is sooooo much fun.  if i could only play one dumb open world game, JC2 would probably be it.

@Tennmuerti: Obviously you barely played the game - there's like a dozen tanks or more. Every open world game has repeated mission types but JC2 has plenty of standout missions which are completely singular.

I finished the game. Saw 0 tanks.

I fucking loved this game.

Spent at least 100 hours playing it between the Xbox 360 and PC version.

It had black tank-ish APCs

Yea saw plenty of those. But no tanks.

Yea APCs that's what I meant, not really tanks but as far as this game went they're the closest we have.

JC2's world is indeed gigantic - just over 1 square megameter, roughly 25 times the size of Oblivion's (and Skyrim's, presumably) world, for example. It'd easily be too big if it weren't so easy to get around on a whim via the grappling hook and parachute.

All that space filled with so much copy pasta.

JC2 is always my standby bored game. Just F'ng around is so much fun.

You know whats also great? this is great...

@Mikemcn: DUUUUDE YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSS

My Name is Bolo Santosi...

I've tried again and again, but I really dont like Just Cause 2.

I've tried and tried and I just can't dislike Just Cause 2. >.>

Just beat Just Cause 2.  My take is that you can only run around bases blowing things up and dodging bullets so many times before it gets old... but the missions where you actually have some structure to use the toys in didn't get old.

Games awesome!, it was just a shame the driving sucked.

@bioblood22: I was just about to post the same thing today after just finishing the story. What a great crazy fun game. This is my 2010 Game of the Year for 2011.
