Overview

Just Cause 2 is a third-person action-adventure sandboxgame developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Eidos Interactive and Square Enix. The player takes the role of Rico Rodriguez, an agent of the US government posing as a mercenary, as he takes jobs and tasks for the various rival factions on Panau, a fictitious island nation in Southeast Asia ruled by the dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay". Players can perform over-the-top stunts by combining the grappling hook, the parachute, and the " Stunt Position" system that allows you to mount different areas of the vehicles in the game.

The game was originally slated for release in late 2008; however, it was later announced in October of that year that the game would be pushed back to 2009. Since then, the game was delayed once again to its final release date of March 23, 2010.
