in gaming •  7 years ago 

Hello Steemian..!! Good evening steemian wherever you are. Hopefully his condition always and always and always be in the protection of God Almighty. Reunite with @teguhrianto, on this Saturday night I'll be back to share the same game review reviews with the previous series. Well ,, on this occasion I will review the same game JUST CAUSE game with the title of the post is JUST CAUSE 2. Want to know what kind of reviews I will discuss, let's just look at the steemian directly?

Just Cause is an action game with awesome story concept which was launched in 2006 ago. Unfortunately, the game that took place in the rainforest failed to meet the expectations of gamers. As a result, the game is only a mere thought.After nearly 4 years of the emergence of the first series, Eidos is now releasing the latest sequel of the game titled Just Cause 2. Because it is still based on previous series, the champion Rico Rodriguez was re-presented in this game. Instead of returning to action in the previous place, Eidos instead brought Rico to compete on a tropical fiction island called Panau. Because it is located in Southeast Asia, then the naming of some places in this game also use the Malay language.

Just Cause 2 is one of the series from Just Cause. This game is open world genre and action-adventure. Just Cause 2 was created by Avalanche Studios, published by Eidos Interactive, and distributed by Square Enix. This game is made with Avalanche Engine 2.0 with Havok physics, and Path Engine. Just Cause 2 releases on March 23, 2010 on PC platforms (Microsoft Windows), PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. There are only two things you need to know about Just Cause 2. Free and exciting. Just two words enough to describe a game? For this game, you do not need anything else! Read on to this review and you'll find out why. For starters, let's talk about the word free. One aspect most easily seen with your own eyes is the freedom to explore the vast and immense game world! This game provides so many opportunities for you to adventure wherever you want. In fact, once you start playing, you can actually move freely exploring. However, of course this action will delay the learning process of game mechanics or in the cool language called tutorial. Once you start the game, this game has even begun to show the concept of extraordinary freedom. You will get acquainted with combat systems that rely on one-handed weapons, such as pistols and SMG, two-handed weapons, and explosives, for example grenades and TNT. Cool, you can use one-handed weapons in each hand. So, you can use two pistols as well as a hero in action film. Using it is also very easy! Two mouse buttons will determine which hand to shoot. For example, when you click the right mouse button, then the gun in your right hand will shoot. So also with the left mouse button, which is useful to shoot the left gun. But not when you use one gun and two-handed weapons. Left click will shoot and right click will throw a grenade or explosive that you have. It's easy, right.

Just cause 2 tells of a tourist named Rico (The Scorpion) is on vacation to Panau, but unfortunately when he got there he was picked by locals and could not go home, Rico there is required to make money to return to his home country by ransacking the Army headquarters there , damaged the local marijuana called "Pig Panay", damaged Shell's petrol station, Petronas and allowed Pertamina's gas stations to stand, and carried out missions from local gangs such as Dhakon, Jump rope, Bekel, Pasar-Pasar, Cublak -cublak suweng, etc. Unfortunately, after the money has been collected, Si Rico meets with the selot Demon flea merchant who turns out to be his stepfather Rico himself, and Rico spends his money on buying a used rag car, bajai with guns, Etc, so Rico always runs out of money and can not get out from the island forever.

In Just Cause 2, we become Rico Rodriguez, the main character in this game. We are in an area called Panau, a fictional islands country in Southeast Asia. Our mission is to overthrow Panay (government Panau), and kill his old mentor, Tom Sheldon. There are three dominant criminal groups in the Panau Islands: The Roaches, The Reapers, and the Snake Boys. We can choose between the three groups to be an ally. There's also Sloth Demon, the Black Market dealer who sells weapons and vehicles, we can also call him to take us somewhere. Demon Sloth also often provide information to Rico. We are free to choose between walking or carrying out missions. Progress in this game is measured by Chaos, obtained from completing missions, destroying government property, and others. At the beginning of the game, we will be given weapons and vehicles. Next we meet with Black Market dealers. At that time the weapons and vehicles sold were still small, but as Chaos increased, there would be many weapons and vehicles sold.

Just Cause 2 also provides the main feature, the grappling hook. Grappling hook is a hook-shaped object. Grappling hooks can be used to move places to where they are pointed, hooking objects to each other, pulling enemies down from a height, and so on. Also there are parachutes that can be used until repeatedly / unlimited. If the grappling hook is combined with a parachute, we can move faster. With the parachute open and almost to the ground, and the grappling hook is directed forward or laterally, we can move quickly and not touch the ground. We can also ride on top of running vehicles, from cars, buses, trucks, helicopters, even over flying jets. This game also provides multiplayer features (PC only), we can walk around with other players, war, racing car / motorcycle, and others. With the open world genre and good graphics, this game can make us feel at home in front of the computer.

A new task will be acted by the hero, Rico Rodriguez, working for an American secret agency called The Agency. The main task of the hero begins with a mission to find one of the characters named Tom Sheldon, the closest friend Rico who lost in a task on the island Panau. Well Rico action in this game is quite exciting, but even so impressed excessive. The reason, players will compete like a super hero who has a myriad of amazing abilities. Throughout the game, Rico will always carry the 'weapon' primarily in the form of a very functional grappling hook and parachute. It is said to be functional because the weapon can be used for various purposes. Grappling hook for example, not only can be used as a wall climber but can also be to drop the opponent or as a means of escape. This function is what ultimately make this game too much and make it look easy to play. The range of Grappling hooks is fairly remote, allowing players to easily escape.

Perhaps one aspect that makes this game more exciting is the use of Malay. The occasional player will encounter names of places that use Malay like, Green Forest Village or mixed languages ​​such as Cloud Cendawan Power Plan. Although the action in this game is still fairly ordinary, but the use of language that is so familiar with Indonesian gamers make this game has more value. Moreover the action in this game is quite exciting and varied. Although no doubt action in this game is excessive, but not denied all aspects are also quite entertaining. For example completion of missions in various ways, here the game is not required to use the path taken to complete a mission. Players can freely create by choosing their own way to complete the mission. Understandably, this game is indeed Open-World or in other words, gamers are free to wander into the corners of tropical forest with good graphics quality. This is certainly very disturbing, especially Just Cause 2 loaded with action battles or the atmosphere of natural beauty that can only be enjoyed in the FPS range above 30.

In addition to the Grappling hook function that looks excessive, this game is also still pinned on some annoying aspect inherited the previous series. Call it Artificial Intelligence (AI) is very stupid. In certain scenes, the soldiers who attacked the players just kept silent while waiting for the attack. It may not be how much compared to the sound quality that sounds bad. The player will not hear the blast of an explosion, nor the whistling bullets. Yet if more attention, it may be balanced with the action offered. Although spelled out an impressive action game, but Just Cause 2 managed to treat the disappointment of gamers in the previous series. Ranging from improved graphics quality, increasingly diverse battle action, to the use of Malay language that makes Indonesian gamers familiar with this game.
