A huge funsplosion of a demo, it lasts a little over half an hour and I managed to find time to play it four times last night. It’s that good.

It gives a you a huge sandbox to play around in – though it’s a tiny area of the full game’s map – and all sorts of fun tools with which to cause as much destruction as possible. Everything seems designed to give you tools for entertainment, from the guns to the vehicles to the parachutes to the amazing grappling hook, which is to Just Cause as jumping is to Crackdown.

It’s that good.

This has gone from nowhere to “must buy” status and is the best example of what a demo should be in years.
