Toast has started playing a game called: Just Cause. He will most likely be playing it for a while. In case your wondering, it's a GTA style game that has you running around being mean to everyone else, but this game has a purpose! You are trying to overthrow the government of these islands or something like that. All that aside, the world is GIGANTIC! Lush tropical locals too. I'm just having a blast flying a helicopter around and then randomly starting rebellions. If you get a chance, and you have a good PC, give this game a try; just to ake a few moments to find out how huge the world is if nothing else.

Looks pretty good, so I got the demo. Like a cross of Grand Theft Auto and Far Cry, two great games. Thanks for the tip.

Doesn't look like it has a lot of replayability, though. How extensive is the single-player campaign? I generally look for at least 50-100 hours of gameplay, which is fairly rare, before I'll buy a game at full price. (Baldur's Gate 2, for example)

It is a massive game. Ton's of side quests, and as far as I can tell an equally massive main story.

I've been playing for a good 30-40+ hours and I've hardly even touched 25% of the playable map. The world is just so big, it's astounding! A problem with that though, is that alot of the area is just jungle, while it looks nice; there isn't anything there really.

Supposedly it is possible to burn through the main story pretty quick, but I have been generously taking my time exploring instead of rushing through. There are two main types of sidequests. One is storming an enemy city/installation to capture it. The other is going around collecting various items that are dropped all over the map. My only problem is those two don't seem to have much depth and have gotten slightly repetative.

Unfortunately, I have no experiance with the demo, so I can't really give you any idea of what the real game has that the demo doesn't.

Here is a decent review, not quite the same opinion on the game as me, but still decent.
