The demo came out today
http://www.actiontrip.com/files/demos/justcause.phtml

I played through and it really is amazing. The graphics are great and the concept is intriging. Hopefully they'll tighten it up a bit when it is released next month. I'd like to see player crouching for one as I needed to take cover.

Looks pretty awesome! If I had money and such I might actually buy it.

All I have to say is terribly funny writing and voice acting.

I think that's the point, it's almost I think meant to play like a B action movie.

I would have to disagree. Even though it was enjoyable I don't think that it is enjoyable in the way they intended it to be. No one strives to be a B movie. Unless you make a movie for the SyFy channel.

No one strives to make a B movie, but people strive to make B style games, but they wish to make it in AAA fashion, which didn't quite work here. The campness and over the top action of B action flicks is the exact target for this game. They wanted you to think of every Chuck Norris, Steven Segall, Jean Claude Van Dame, and Arnold movie all rolled into a glorious explosions.

That is the goal of this game, the creators said so themselves, I for one think they did a good job at it. This game was never meant to be taking serious, you were just mean to blow stuff up.
