Just Cause Reviews

the best

its not the best but its good 9/10

if you own all other just cause games get this game when its on sale

When i first got the game i would play it non stop, this game is the reason why ive made a few favourites on the way such as just cause 2 and 3.

unrealistic the CIA would never support a Socialist revolution

This might be the most dumb, stupid, empty mess I've played. Don't play unless you find this thing kinda funny or for the history of games (like me) 4/10

Remember I tried this game on PC when it released and I already thought back then that this game is not the best. It was fun for a couple of hours, but it was very repetitive and boring. Now jump into 2025, I gave this game another chance. Thought maybe I was just too little to understand and appreciate what the game can offer. I was wrong, this game is even worse today. I'm not downvoting the game for the technical issues, 'cause a lot of good game needs some tweaking for modern system. But, if you want to "enjoy" this game properly, you need some widescreen patch from the web and also need to cap the framerate to 60, because above 60 the aim gets very weird. Let's start with the good ones: The graphics okay, but what really impressed me, was the landscape. It's a PS2-era game and the world is still amazing looking, especially from a helicopter or a plane. The skybox is very nice, they really nailed the sunset too, overall it's a good looking game. Aaaand that's it. Everything else is bad or average at best. IMO the world is just too big. They did what Ubisoft openworld games doing these days, they made a huge map, but it's empty and it has super repetitive side quests and collectable items. But I have to say it's even worse than Ubisoft games, the french company at least trying to implement a decent story with variable characters, here...it's not exist. There are no characters, and there is no story at all, just a frickin synopsis: "There is this latino island with a bad dictator. Go put him down and his government". That's it, that's the whole story. The driving is awful. There are no difference between asphalt and dirt roads, you will crash a LOT. Braking a little on higher speed? You will spin. I actually had more fun with boats and planes. The planes and helicopters are very good actually, I had some fun with those. Shooting is meh. Not the worst what I ever played, but it could've been better. There a lot of guns in the game, but honestly I didn't notice any difference, looked and felt all the same. And what really pissed me off in combat that the enemies respawns constantly. The game is not eveny try to hide it, they respawns from anywhere, even front of you, and it's infinite, they keep coming back, until you finish your mission. I guess the devs wanted chaos and mayhem with this, but I think it's not went well. I tried to reach at least 10 hours, but I gave up on 6 hours. It's a very bad experience, especially today, in 2025. If you consider to try out the whole series, listen to me and just skip the first game!

The game is extremely janky. This game seriously did not age well for me. Do not get this game even if its on sale, if you are not here for nostalgia. This game is probably the worst game that I have ever played. I did not play this game because of nostalgia which is probably why I seriously did not like this game. I am aware that the game is old but gta 3 or far cry 1 is way more better than this game. There are so many annoying missions like the last few missions being extremely broken. Very messy and weird. There was so much chaos and it felt so unfair. The tank glitch driving is the worst part of the game, it would just flip like crazy by just aiming different locations. It was super annoying. How you heal in this game is annoying, it is luck based, sometimes they will drop med kits, sometimes rarely. It is super annoying. I would have been ok with the old graphics but the game play is just broken and janky. So many annoyances. Do not waste your time at this game.

This is the first in the series and one to avoid. Your skills do not matter in this game because enemy spawns are entirely random. You could raid a military base and get incredibly lucky wiping it in seconds or unlucky and die before you even destroy the first barrier. Forget having skills its pure random chance if you actually win a fight. Helicopters automatically respawn if you destroy one so don't waste your time fighting them you literally can't destroy enemy helicopters. If you use a vehicle the enemy will focus you with a vengeance. Stay away from motorbikes they're completely useless. Your best friend is the attack helicopter, literally every other vehicle is garbage and suicidal to use. It is safer to travel on foot than in a tank because enemies start spamming rockets at you if you're in any vehicle and you can still get hurt inside them. The storyline is largely boring, there's like 15 missions in the entire game at most and they're all forgettable and extremely short. The zipline mechanic doesn't work properly and you're far more likely to lose your momentum or get shot off in a random direction than actually stealing vehicles you want. The characters are boring and you will get tired of hearing the same dialogue "Marco, this is the policia" over and over and over again because every single NPC says it. Gun fights are a frantic mess, you are far better off just tanking the damage and running through the crowds because enemies will spawn infinitely The cities are bland and copy pasted, they all look identical and the roads are a pure mess, there are no shops to buy or sell anything so they're entirely pointless. The map is covered in trees and if you fall in a forest you will be stuck there so you may as well call an evac instead. I made it to the end of the game and still hadn't unlocked the personal helicopter or boat on my PDA because I'd have to do a million side quests to get enough EXP to unlock them. The driving mechanics are wack, all the cars have insane oversteer and it feels like the roads are made of frozen butter. One wrong move and you will spin out. The guns and vehicles are also pure weird and look out of place. They look like something from a sci-fi video game than a Caribbean city. El presidente has better tanks and guns than the US. Military. You will die a lot, usually from explosive spams that are caused by tanks who are your worst enemy in this game. Its better to run up and steal a tank than try fight one since it wastes your rockets and stealing a tank happens instantly. Overall really unpolished game and you'd be better off playing a later one in the series

This game is in the middle of dislike and like i would not recommend this game but nor not recommend it. the enemies in this game are hell, they shoot at you with helicopters while your trying to swim to sure, when your helicopter is about to explode you don't even get to react fast enough to hop out you just die, only play this game if you want to see the history of just cause, if not skip to just cause 2 3 and 4
