It could be to your advantage that the tropical paradise is about to implode as various factions vie for power - it just needs a gentle nudge in the right direction. The rogue South American state is suspected of stockpiling Weapons of Mass Destruction, and it's your mission to negate the threat this poses to. Mission difficulty rises extremely steeply from one to the next.Your world.Your rules! In Just Cause, you are a Latin field operative and specialist in regime change backed by top secret US government agency who will overthrow the corrupt government of San Esperito.

The missions before they become absurdly difficult are fun. In short if you do not like reloading your game over and over again, and then eventually just deleting it from your machine, don't bother.The game also had severe stability problems and frequent crashes (steam version) when played for a long period of time. Needing to save only at designated points really killed it for me to. However once one gets into the later missions the tendency to be instantly killed by gunships firi ng missles at you, never missing with their regular bullets (which take anywhere from 10%-25% of your health) and instantly being killed by suicidal army personnel ramming their vehicles into you pretty much take all the fun out of the game. Almost if one were going to make GTA: Banana republic. Skydive, parasail, machine-gun, car-jack, base-jump and bazooka your way through missions as you lead a nation to freedom. With 89 vehicles at your disposal choose from choppers, boats, cars, bikes, mini-subs or jets to explore 1,025 Km² of the tropical island of San Esperito.

There are all sorts of secret deals, arrangements and embarrassments that could be exposed if any official connection became known, what more the power balance between the military, drug barons, police, and oppositional guerrillas is very delicate, maintained only by a very fragile bond of fear and insecurity. Of course, the operation has to be completely covert, no fingerprints, the US totally uninvolved. Nobody knows what San Esperito's military ambitions are but it doesn't matter: regime change is the only option. Like all dictators, he's dreaming of WMD. Nobody buys El President's lame excuses that he wants to make San Esperito energy self-sufficient within a decade – no, it's clear he's buying this stuff for weapons. San Esperito, an island Nation, has come to the attention of the Defence Department by virtue of its attempts to purchase enriched uranium on the world market.
