What players say
I remember a time when gaming was fun and you could buy a single player game like this and just have fun. Where have the years gone.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Very dumb, very fun. Infinite grappling hooks, a wing suit, and remote bombs plus whatever guns and vehicles you can find combine for a straightforward, action-orientated game that's just really fun to play. The story is not the point here, but even so I found it reasonably engaging if only because it made me want to blow up more stuff. Definite recommend if you just want to mess around with explosions in a sandbox.
keeps crashing even on lowest graphic settings. also no invert flight controls on a 2015 game is insane and especially unacceptable when the previous game had them....still better than just cause 2 in almost everyway. wingsuit is clunky and annoying tho and the map is still way too big and repetitive. just play Far Cry 3 instead.
