The orders are simple: hunt down and execute a rogue agent that has stolen top-secret intelligence and millions in Agency cash. For agent Rico Rodriguez, the mission is anything but routine. The target is Tom Sheldon, Rico’s former commanding officer, mentor and friend; a man who knows Rico better than he knows himself.
Sheldon went dark while operating in the corrupt island nation of Panau. There, three rival gangs wage war in the streets while the ruthless dictator Baby Panay rules the island with an iron fist. With the resources of the Agency at his disposal, Rico must infiltrate the island and locate Sheldon, setting off a violent chain of events that will set Panau ablaze.
Each of Rico’s assignments can be tackled by land, sea or air with more than 100 vehicles including tactical jeeps, attack helicopters and jet fighters. As the Agency’s best, Rico can execute a range of breathtaking new stunts, utilizing his trademark parachute and upgraded grapple to reach any location in Panau. Somewhere on the 400 square mile island of white sand beaches, scorching deserts and snow-capped peaks, Sheldon awaits.

PlayStation players to publish their greatest achievements to YouTube


Friday 22nd January/... Square Enix London Studios, a part of Square Enix Europe, today announced that Just Cause 2 for the

PlayStation 3 will ship with a built-in video capture feature, allowing players to record clips of their greatest in-game exploits

and upload directly to YouTube.

With some of the most incredible emergent action sequences seen in any game, Just Cause 2 frequently features moments which simply

defy description. Moments where the physics, gameplay and AI all come together to create an over-the-top stunt or spontaneously

chaotic scene of carnage players will want to watch again and again. By activating Just Cause 2’s video capture feature, players will

be able to automatically record the last 30 seconds of gameplay directly to the PlayStation 3’s hard drive and upload to YouTube.

BASE jumped from the highest bridge in the game? Captured. Jumped out of a jet fighter and crashed into an oil rig? Recorded.

Parachuted off a cliff onto a passing helicopter, laying waste to a military harbour with missiles, before ejecting, skydiving down

through enemy flak, grappling soldiers to passing aircraft, leaving nothing but the smoking remains of the military might? Saved,

uploaded and published for the world to see.

Also available from the in-game menu is a 10 minute capture feature which allows players to create more detailed and planned

presentations. Gamers will be able to capture and share in-game mission walkthroughs, create online speed-run competitions, direct

their own South East Asian-inspired Machinima and more, with the best YouTube videos linked from the official website allowing users

to vote on their favourites, with prizes awarded for the best of the best.

As Rico Rodriguez, the Agency's most powerful weapon, players must take on the island of Panau and its military regime in order to

track down Rico's former boss and mentor, Tom Sheldon, who has gone rogue with millions in Agency cash and intel. Using a unique

grapple and parachute combination, there is no vertical limit as the air becomes your playground: grapple a passing plane in flight,

hijack helicopters, BASE jump from the tallest buildings or mountains and leave a trail of chaos and destruction in your wake. Just

Cause 2 offers players the freedom to tackle missions any way they choose and, with over 100 vehicles and countless upgrades and

collectibles, the choices for relentless adrenaline-fuelled action are limitless.

Just Cause 2’s video capture and upload feature will be available exclusively for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

Just Cause 2 will also ship for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows® and will be

released under the EIDOS brand portfolio. All formats will release in-stores on March 23rd, 2010, in North America and March 26th,

2010, in Europe, Middle East, and Australasia. More information is available on the official website at www.justcause.com.
