Just Cause 2

Publisher: Eidos

From our Just Cause 2 review:

'What makes Just Cause 2 shine is the fact that players are innately anarchic and that the weapons function as a toolbox for embracing that – not the level of polish with which the game has been assembled.

There are far better story driven shooters out there if you’re primarily interested in fighting, but if you’re willing to step away from the beaten path and motivate yourself to see what Just Cause 2 has to offer then you’ll have a lot of fun. It’s far better to be driven by the curiosity of what’s on the next island than the barked orders of a Texan stereotype, and it's far more fun to spend time messing around with the grappling hook than actually trying to follow the storyline.
'

We run the game at its maximum graphical settings, with motion blur disabled. GPU water effects and the BOKEH filter are also disabled as these are Nvidia-exclusive graphical options. A 60-second FRAPs run is taken from within the Concrete Jungle in-game benchmark.
