iFighter 1945 vs Just Cause 2
iFighter 1945
iFighter 1945 is the earlier, original first game developed by EpicForce Entertainment - the later game being iFighter 2: The Pacific 1942. The game is still set in World War II where you play as an Allies ace pilot who has been given a critical mission to destroy the Axis' secret weapon prototypes. The campaign in this game is spread across 8 challenging missions, each with 3 difficulty settings and an intense boss fight at the very end.You also get to pilot one of 5 fighter jets which can be further upgraded and customnized as well. Similar to the later sequel, the game features 4 control modes, ranging from touch controls to joypad.
Granted that iFighter 1945 is the older game and thus, has older-looking graphics, the game surprisingly holds up even until today. If you've loved playing iFighter 2 and would like to take a step back to try the first game, well... this is it!
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).
