Title: Just Cause

Alongside Alan Wake (http://www.alanwake.com/)  this is one Xbox 360 (although its not an exclusive) game Im really excited about, its supposedly out this autumn.
Quote*  Freeform game-play ? approach missions in any way you like, or break off from the fight and enjoy exploring the islands.
    * Over 250K acres of land to explore, the largest environment ever seen in a game!
    * Over-the-top Stunts ? jump from vehicle-to-vehicle, parasail, skydive and base-jump?
    * Massive selection of vehicles ? over 100 of the most varied, exciting array of land, sea and air vehicles ever seen in a video game.
    * Avalanche Engine ? ? procedurally generated landscape delivers a huge, beautiful, detailed world while eliminating loading times.
    * Wealth of missions ? story missions, side-missions, bonus missions and many more; ensuring plenty of action spread throughout the islands.
    * Support team ? Sheldon and Kane, two CIA field operatives, will provide you with reconnaissance info, extraction and vehicle drops.
    * Fly. The best way to explore San Esperito is by air!

Demo is apparently coming onto the Live Marketplace on the 24th.

QuoteThe demos will feature a customized mission set on a totally new island, not included in the retail game. Avalanche Studios developers confirmed the release date of the demo and according to Christofer Sundberg, the Just Cause area available in XBL was created especially for the demo. You will be able to play on an island which will be missing in the final version of the game; probably their way of enticing us while still keeping us excited for its September release.

Finished the demo (ftp://ftp.fz.se/pub/spel/just_cause/JustCauseDemo.exe) ("jump the bridge hombre!") :D, I think Ill get the 360 version instead of PC, controls feel a tad awkward.

Had a (very) quick blast on this yesterday morning before work and thought it seemed like great fun. Will play a bit more this evening, but could be one worth getting.

gameplay is a touch awkward, shooting onfoot on the pc especially so
(the demos the same on both formats)

the 360 version seemed easier, probably cause when it locked on it was headshotting  :lol:

might get it, not sure yet.
