![]() It is both ridiculous and awesome in equal measure. How does Rico Rodriguez do this? By accidentally doing the aforementioned Batman entrance that kick starts a rebellion. Obviously, it’s up to our wise-cracking (but troubled) hero to save the day. Much like any self-respecting Eighties action movie, Just Cause 4 begins with a corporate big shot with a megalomaniac complex, who just so happens to own a weather-manipulating superweapon called Project Illapa (pronounced “ee-yappa”). ![]() If any of that sounds even remotely like something you would enjoy, then yes, Just Cause 4 should at the very least be on your radar. But most importantly, I watched Rico make a Batman-like entrance during one early cutscene, in which he took down an attack chopper and an entire enemy squad without even pausing for breath. I had commandeered a tank before shooting down enemy helicopters and destroying a host of other tanks and APCs that came down on me like a tonne of bricks, then been forced to escape through careful use of my parachute and Wingsuit, even evading missiles as I glided through a rainforest. I had been in a high-speed chase, shooting out the tyres of pursuing vehicles and watching them somersault through the air before exploding, Michael Bay-style. Within an hour of playing, I had scaled the side of a mountain and took on dozens of gun-toting militia. Alas, the very late timing of Just Cause 4’s arrival may not help in gaining new fans, but its an early Christmas present for those willing to give it a try. The various tales of Rico Rodriguez may not be profound or particularly memorable, but his explosive exploits are always incredibly fun and provide hours of entertainment. Just Cause is a series that deserves a bigger audience than it has historically commanded.
