I'll probably pick it up. Whether I get it for pc or xbox will depend on reviews. I really hope they do it right.

Oh..this is still being released for the PC? /smirk

Hopefully they will provide a demo as the 1st one wasn't so great. :(

I for one am definitely interested...it was like GTA on crack lol...I love the go anywhere do anything experience...and flying high in a plane then sky diving was just awesome, never got old.

The new one looks like more of the same except better...to make a 2nd one means that Im sure they looked at the issues of the first...added new game mechanics, awesome graphics...this will be a killer app for PC...cant wait!!!

You know, this game was pretty underrated when the first one came out. It's basically a GTA clone with some faction stuff thrown in where you have to cure the "unrest" in a dozen parts of the island. Doing missions, etc. The graphics are about the same as the GTA's. I may pick this up if it's under $30. Having said all that, I have the first one if anyone wants to try it. $ 12 shipped. Never miss an opportunity to pimp your wares.

I have the first one and never finished it. Its reminds me of far cry 2, but the graphics aren't near as nice. It does have some cool ideas however. I'm kinda ambivalent about just cause 2, I'll check out the reviews, it could be great.

Far Cry 1 graphics with ridiculous scenarios that even Hollywood would find implausible? No thanks. Not that Far Cry was a bad game, but how old is that engine now? This looks like it's running on the FC 1 engine.

You have to keep in mind that for what the game was the graphics were pretty good when you consider everything else that was going on...the physics, the number of NPC...if it had Crysis like graphics no one then would have been able to play it cause it would have run too slow due to size of the game and amount of stuff going on.

Just Cause 2 looks awesome in my opinion, I mean sure, running a rig like mine and what others have that are "high end" it could look better if it were PC only (Crysis here), but you have to remember that even with better draw distance/higher resolution textures on the PC it was still designed to run on a CONSOLE...which PC wise is like what, a Intel C2D (thinking E2xxx series here) and a 7800GTX/X1950Pro or there abouts...so for what it is and what it was designed to run on its actually pretty damn good all things considered!
