Just Cause 2 vs Just Cause 3
Just Cause 2
Just Cause 2 is the explosive sequel to the popular and incredibly cinematic "destruction galore", third-person action adventure game, Just Cause. Offering players a whole new map (another tropical island called Panau) to explore in the game's wide variety of land, sea, and sky vehicles along with Rico's wingsuit, you can now perform stunts like never before since the game now allows you to free fall, base jump, vehicle surf, skydive, para sail, slingshot, and more. You can also dual wield your grappling hook in Just Cause 2, allowing epic scenes of you dangling in between two helicopters possible. You can even have fun racing on the many circuits on the island.Unlike the previous game, the physics in this one is a lot more realistic as well, lending the game a deeper form of immersion it needs to distance itself from the dark trench that's called "arcade-like". There are plenty of missions (of all lengths) for you to complete too!
As you might have also gleaned so far, the game retains its over-the-top animations, so if you fancy yourself an action film actor, this game series is the closest you can get to actually being one. So, looking to destroy some stuff and walk away backed with a glorious fiery explosion? You can experience all of that and more in Just Cause 2 (or any of the more recent Just Cause games).
Just Cause 3
Just Cause 3 is the latest, and so far, the best Just Cause game within the franchise. Set in yet another tropical paradise - this time in the Mediterranean sea, you'll have over 1000 square kilometer of gorgeous landscape to explore and cause total chaos in... and fortunately, the game offers you a villain - a ruthless dictator who has the entire island population under his thumb - making it incredibly easy and fun to torment him by taking out his people and his critical buildings.As usual, albeit with hugely improved graphics and effects, you'll get to perform a wide variety of thrilling stunts - stunts that you can further combine to create new creative and exaggerated ways to wreak havoc. In addition to the many different types of missions, there are even plenty of collectibles to gather too.
However, for a game such as this one, you'll probably expect the storyline to be rather lackluster, which in this game, is exactly the case. But if you simply want to blow off some steam and cause trouble for a evil dictator that you can whole-heartedly hate, then, Just Cause 3 is the best possible game you can play.
