Just Cause 2 Review

Gameplay
So this game starts out withe the secret agent Rico, who is the main character, being recruited to track down his old mentor who has supposedly gone rouge. Not much later on in the game you find out that he hasn't gone rouge and that the leader on Panu (setting of the game) named Baby Panu is evil so you team up with three gangs to cause mayhem in the government and kill Baby Panu. Unfortunately for those of you who want the whole story line this is all I am giving you to avoid spoiling it. This game as well as story missions has side missions, lets you explore Panu, drive all of the many vehicles of this game, dive out of sky vehicles, parachute, grapple, and kill whoever you want including members of any of the three gangs you  are in. This game also has a small variety of weapons to choose from, the categories are sniper rifles, assault rifles, submachine guns, hand guns and of course explosives. It also lets you buy weapons or vehicles from the black market.

Here's Rico parachuting.
Multiplayer
This game has no multiplayer and it doesn't need it.

Graphics
This game has some pretty good graphics but that's about all I have to say about them.

Look at the pretty sunset

Rico to the rescue
Final Verdict

I give this game a 9 of 10 because after a long gaming session it can be boring until you take a break.

Arkham City Review

Game Play
So this game starts out with Bruce Wayne being arrested and put in a quarantined section of the city called Arkham City. you then need to climb a roof top in order to Batman up. Once you have dawned your kick butt attire cat woman is conveniently (this will not be the only time she shows up in the game and even had her own set of missions)  in trouble in the ally bellow, you then need to save her from mister Two Face himself. This is your first mission and highlights  how problem solving is quite a major part of this game. Once Cat  Woman is safe the joker shots at her and this is the fist part in the game when Batman's detective skills are show cased to find out not only where the shot came from, but use the remote controled sniper the Joker used to find his true location. Once you have found the Joker you find that he is sick, dying, and that he has tricked you to put some of his blood in you so you are dying too. the game continues on with you not only trying to find a cure for both you and the Joker but trying to stop the three, that's right three, groups of villains: which  are Joker, Two Face, and Penguin. To accomplish these goals the game designer brought back the old gadgets and made some new ones. They have also added a few things to the fighting such as new combos and finishing moves

Here is the end of your first mission, Two face doesn't like it.

Here is a new sneak attack.

Cat Woman Game
So this is basically just a couple chalenge missions in a sequential order where you play as cat woman. however she does have her own little gadgets, fighting style, she is more agile, and she climbs instead of grapples. This section is quite fun to play in and adds a little something to the game.

Here is Cat Woman
Graphics

So this game's graphics are pretty good I'd say that they are closest to the Infamous 2 graphics.

Look at all the sores on Joker's face
Now son how many times have I told you tagging walls is wrong.
Final Verdict
So I'm going to give this game a 9.5 out of 10 because it is great but its not the best that I have played.
