As Ben PerLee and I have told you, you can do lots of crazy sh*t in Avalanche Studios’ Just Cause 2. It’s a sandbox game that looks like it’s aiming to be a more polished, more kick-ass version of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames. Pretty much all sandbox games allow you to mess around in the game world, doing whatever you want (like wreaking wanton destruction on the environment). But as you can see in the multi-path trailer above, Just Cause 2 is bringing that choice into the missions themselves, offering a variety of methods for you to accomplish in-game goals.
The trailer makes use of annotated YouTube videos, in the vein of Anthony’s ingenious Mad Dog McCree Gunslinger Pack review. You can begin by watching the video above, or heading to the game’s official YouTube channel. In this case, you’ve got three options to start with: flying in; driving in, guns blazing; or the stealth route. Each choice leads to the same “fork,” which offers four alternatives (one of which is particularly funny). Which path did you end up choosing?
Just Cause 2, one of my most wanted PS3 games of the year, is set for release on March 23, 2010, for the PS3, 360, and PC.
