What was voted the best adventure title at the E3 by TeamXbox.com, Just Cause is set on a South American tropical island called San Esperito which you can explore via land, sea or air using one of more than 100 vehicles. This is claimed to be the largest area of any videogame in history, covering 250,000 acres (or 1024 square km), and with no loading! Amidst those bustling cityscapes, sandy beaches and sweeping mountain ranges, you play Rico Rodriguez, a Latin field operative and specialist in regime change who is tasked with overthrowing the corrupt government suspected of stockpiling Weapons of Mass Destruction by a top secret US agency. Rico has a slew of gadgets at his disposal, and is as the developers said, "the child of one thousand comic books and action movies. He is James Bond, Mad Max, El Mariachi, Wolverine, Punisher, Rambo, Tony Montana, Jack Bauer, Han Solo and Vincent Vega all rolled into one. With a touch of Enrique Iglesias to top it all off!" That's nice name-dropping.



There's 21 main story missions, but over 300 side missions, ensuring this really is a totally free roaming experience. Your support crew of Sheldon and Kane, two CIA field operatives, will provide you with reconnaissance info, extraction and vehicle drops, but all the fun stuff like jumping from vehicle-to-vehicle, parasailing, skydiving and base-jumping are left to you. The power to play the island's factions against one another, inciting a rebellion among the masses and building alliances with rebel forces and drug cartels is all in your hands. This week the Asian edition arrived, and what's more it's only US$ 48.95!
