Just Cause is out now.

Just Cause allows you to get down and dirty with guerrilla warfare, working in the guise of undercover CIA agent Rico Rodriguez to topple the dictator of San Espirito, a fictional South American island.

You get to zoom around jungles, mountains and cities in an astonishing array of land, air and water-borne vehicles, and play off rival factions against one another in 21 storyline-based missions and over 300 optional side missions.

The main character’s vast repertoire of stunts is a special feature of Just Cause, but its most amazing aspect is the game world. ‘Procedural synthesis’ lets the game generate terrain as it goes along, rather than working from a pre-designed plan, allowing seamless gameplay across a continuous map of 32sq km.

Detailed landscape truly stretches out into the horizon, without interruption from loading screens or any delay in passing between locations; it has to be seen to be believed.

The game is entirely free-roaming, with a sandbox structure that lets you go anywhere and do anything. Just Cause heralds the start of a brave new world of gaming potential.
