Just Cause

"Just Cause is able to justify its relative brevity and disrespect for physical law with some extremely visceral and often satisfying action."

"The lack of depth really comes through once you get more than about 10 hours into the game and the monotony of doing the same side quests over and over takes its toll. After that, it comes down to how much fun you can create by yourself. Just Cause works well as a rental on Xbox and Xbox 360 or as a game to pick up and play for a short while, but if you want something to keep you entertained for a long time then you should look elsewhere."

"It’s a shame, really. Just Cause reeks of wasted potential. The story could have been interesting, but the generic characters and bland execution aren’t endearing in the slightest. While there are tons of missions to complete, many of them feel repetitive and watered-down. The utterly stupid AI and questionable controls make the combat dull and tedious. The physics-defying stunts and sheer amount of glitches will break your patience long before the story is done. The graphical quality makes the game look like some godforsaken PS1 bargain title."
