Anyone got this, played it or heard of it?

Sounds very cool, but it's a bit of a knowledge black hole for me....I think I'd enjoy it but not sure...

Okay, well I just went to Gamespy and looked at the videos for it....

Mmmmm jumping out of a flaming car that crashes into the forest below you as you dive out the door and pull the parachute cord....

GTA with drug barons and you leading a revolution (Y)

In Just Cause, you take on the role of the flamboyant Rico Rodriguez - an undercover CIA operative specialising in regime change - as he tries to overthrow the corrupt government of San Esperito. This rogue South American island is suspected of stockpiling WMDs and it's your job to negate the threat to world peace. It could be to your advantage that this tropical paradise is about to implode as various factions vie for power - it just needs a gentle nudge in the right direction.

Just Cause offers the freedom to tackle your assignment however you want: play the island's factions off against one another; incite a rebellion among the masses; or build alliances with rebel forces and drug cartels. Explore the game's world of 1,225 square miles of mountains, jungles, beaches, cities and villages with a variety of air, land and sea craft.

The 360 demo has shite controls for it.

It's also very pretty on the 360.

I don't recall him asking about the 360. Harumph!

I'm just saying. I would've enjoyed it more had there been a better control scheme and the jumping from vehicle to vehicle idea is a fond one from Pursuit Force on the PSP. It's also quite difficult to control the helicopter and do some of the vehicle jumping.

Launching yourself from a moped and unleashing your 'chute is awesome though. (Y)
