When I first played the game I enjoyed it very much. Despite having many flaws and problems that a completionist would suffer from.

Then a few years ago I played JC3 and it was awesome!

Two years later I replayed both games. I was very disappointed from JC2... with it's great features and the fun part of the game still remaining, I really really got disturbed from the free roam part of the game. That gave you no clue of how to go 100% when it comes to little details like off-settlement items that you have to collect, not to mention the widely known completion bug that doesn't give you crates or doesn't spawn that one stupid water tower. Thankfully I did my research fairly soon, and I had directions on what to follow to get close to 100%. Because you can't go to 100% without mods. That's stupid. Did they even test the game before they release it? Just to make sure you can actually go to 100%??? That's very weird. The game even teases you for that at the end of the campaign. "Can you reach 100%???" Me being fully aware of the situation I'm like really?

But what can you do... the game gave me so much fun a few years ago, so I find it hard to stay mad at it. I was really close on putting a NEGATIVE review. Keep that in mind.
Just Cause 3 really redeemed all these problems.
Play Just Cause 3 instead.
