When you're first starting out, there's little in the way of on-screen prompts to remind you what various buttons do, which can lead to some unfortunate situations, as you get a grenade instead of your grappling hook, or jump out the car on to the floor rather than sailing away on your parachute. Proficiency with a dual analogue control scheme is required (left stick moves, right stick aims), yet Just Cause 3 is actually a bit trickier to get into than other similar games. While there isn't too much in the way of a tutorial here, as the game assumes you're already familiar with third person shooters and their associated terminology, it's well worth sticking with it. How easy is Just Cause 3 to pick up and play? Whether you leap out of your car and pull the string on your parachute, sailing into the sky as it ploughs into a fuel tank tethering a boulder to the bottom of a helicopter and using it a makeshift wrecking ball or strapping an unfortunate soldier to a gas canister, before shooting a few well placed bullets into the bottom of it, and turning it into a makeshift rocket (and the soldier a makeshift spaceman), the possibilities are endless.

Armed only with your parachute, a handy grappling hook (which can be used to either let you zoom from one place to another, or tether two items together - with explosive results), and enough firepower to run a small army, it's up to you to run in, blow up all the important items (which are shown at the side of the screen), and cause chaos, as you slowly weaken the dictator's grip on the island.īlowing things up is essential to your time with the game, and it's a lot of slapstick fun, with immense potential for the sort of epic stunts that'll have you reaching for the share button every few minutes. Well, by blowing things up! A third person action game, the island itself is divided up into a number of areas and zones, each of which contains a number of enemy bases, outposts and cities that are under military control.
