Developed by Avalanche Studios and using the proprietary Avalanche 2.0 Engine,
Just Cause 2(TM) features over 1000Km(2) (400miles(2)) of South East Asian
island paradise in one of the richest, most realistic game worlds ever seen.
Snow-capped mountains, sun-kissed beaches, dense jungle and arid deserts create
a stunning backdrop for a unique and compelling take on open-world gameplay.



"Just Cause 2 offers the freedom to explore and tackle the world in any way you
choose," said Lee Singleton, General Manager of Square Enix London Studios. "The
grapple and the parachute mechanic will change the way you play open-world
games, allowing players to be in the air in seconds, tackling missions from
above and using the aerial advantage. If you prefer to stay on solid ground, the
choices offered by the grapple are limited only by your imagination."



As Rico Rodriguez, the Agency's most powerful weapon, players must take on the
island of Panau and its military regime in order to track down Rico's former
boss and mentor, Tom Sheldon, who has gone rogue with millions in Agency cash
and intel. Using a unique grapple and parachute combination, there is no
vertical limit as the air becomes your playground: grapple a passing plane in
flight, hijack helicopters, BASE jump from the tallest buildings or mountains
and leave a trail of chaos and destruction in your wake. Just Cause 2offers
players the freedom to attack missions any way they choose and, with over 100
vehicles and countless upgrades and collectibles, the choices for relentless
adrenaline-fuelled action are limitless.



Just Cause 2 will be available for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment
system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games
for Windows, and will be released under the EIDOS brand portfolio. More
information is available on the official website at www.justcause.com.
