I loved the demo myself too. I wasn't actually expecting it to be that good, since the original Just Cause was a bit of a dissapointment.

In the entire 30 minutes of the JC2 demo there's more to do than in an entire playthrough of Just Cause 1 xD

Oh, have you tried going as high as you can with a chopper or the airplane and just do a free fall drop? It took me almost 2 minutes to go from the highest possible drop point to the last second where it was safe to

I haven't played Just Cause 1 but I heard it was a letdown, this is certainly going to be more or less like a surprise to everybody at how good it is going to be. I have probably had more fun in this demo then any full sandbox game I have ever played.

And yeah I've actually done that a few times hahaha :P Def beats the ceiling of GTA4 eh? lmao

And what do you think about like the pure scale of the world? I love how the demo itself is ENORMOUS but around what, like 15-20% of the size of the full world map? I have a feeling I am going to enjoy this game more then any Sandbox game I have ever played.

I am definitely getting this asap, if I wasn't going to be out of town at the time of release this would be a day one purchase for me :P

Yeah, the scale of the game is really amazing, but like jbrist said, it looks to be a bit smaller than Just Cause 1. 

Even if it is smaller, it looks to be much more varied, so that's a huge plus over Just Cause 1. The demo is really, really huge. I have spent over 5 hours around it, and haven't seen everything that's to see. I love to go to the radar station with the Armoured Vehicle and just rip it apart, or take a chopper over to the heavily populated area and let the chopper fall down over the enemy commander there XD  

 

 

what do you mean with smaller the size of the map ? The size of the map in Just cause 1 was 250,000 acres (1,012 km²; 391 sq mi)

 

Map size in Just cause 2 willl be  1240 km² or around 400+ sq miles. But the big difference is that in just cause 2 there are mountains deserts jungle (5 climatic zones) and over 100 vehicles. the quality of the landscape will be a lot better and the size of the map 25% bigger. btw the demo only, had 35 square miles which is twice as big as the oblivion map. 

 

The world will be gigantic and I have this game on my list since I downloaded this trailer last summer, were they talked about the development. 

 

 

 

Oh, I thought that the world would be smaller than the first one, so that's some very good news :O

Yeah, the world itself is larger than Oblivion, but a 400 sq miles world on Oblivion would be overkill, especially since the fastest way to travel was around a horse :P Getting through one side of the map to the other, without using fast-travel, could take you well over an hour on horse.

ES II: Daggerfell had an area map of roughly the size of england, without fast travel, which took over two weeks to fully explore from one side to the other. You can see how popular that would be with nowaday gamers :P
