| | Just Cause 2 Multi-Path Trailer Allows Viewers To Direct The Action | |
| | Friday 15th January...With complete freedom to take on the Island of Panau from any angle, a mission in Just Cause 2 is never quite the same twice. So when Jade Tan, one of the Agency’s key operatives in Panau, falls into enemy hands, how you get her back really is up to you. To give gamers an idea of the choices available in-game, we have created an innovative multi-path trailer on the Official Just Cause 2 YouTube Channel (at www.youtube.com/officialjustcause2), allowing fans of the game the choice in how Rico’s rescue plays out. Use your grapple and parachute to go in stealthily, coming in from the air and grappling guards out of towers; or go all-guns-a’blazin’, destroying everything and anyone in sight? Take a jeep and ride it down a mountainside or use an aerial bombardment of rockets from a hijacked helicopter? The choice is yours, and each clip will give you a different taste of the high-octane gameplay that will make Just Cause 2 one of the stand-out titles of 2010. 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 attack missions any way they choose and, with over 100 vehicles and countless upgrades and collectibles, the choices for relentless adrenaline-fuelled action are limitless. You can find the Multi-path trailer on the Official Just Cause 2 Channel on YouTube at www.youtube.com/officialjustcause2 or on the official website at www.JustCause.com. | |
