The original "Just Cause" was sensationally fun despite having more issues than a panophobia convention, so how much better is "Just Cause 2" by touching the same fun-at-all-costs nerve and doing it without all those aforementioned issues?

No one really knows, because "JC2" brings back several of those issues en route to a sloppy opening hour that, thankfully, isn't a complete indication of things to come.

Most glaringly, "JC2" shoots like a third-person shooter from 2003. Auto-aim runs rampant, manual targeting is unwieldy and players looking for a way to seek cover will be dismayed to discover even the basic crouch mechanic is completely useless.

Nellallitea 'Nella' Larsen (first called Nellie Walker) (April 13, 1891 – March 30, 1964) was an American novelist of the Harlem Renaissance who wrote two novels and a few short stories. Though her literary output was scant, what she wrote earned her recognition by her contemporaries and by present-day critics.

Nella Larsen went by various names throughout her life. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, on April 13, 1891 as Nellie Walker. She was the daughter of Danish immigrant Marie Hanson and Peter Walker, a West Indian man of color from Saint Croix who soon disappeared from her life. Her mother was a domestic case worker. Taking the surname of her Scandinavian stepfather Peter Larsen, Walker also at times went by Nellye Larson, Nellie Larsen and, finally, Nella Larsen. When she married, she sometimes used her married name Nella Larsen Imes.
