Listen, we're pretty sure we're only going to need two things to complete our first playthrough of Just Cause 2: A hookshot and an arm on which to attach it. Still, we admit that the bonus equipment that the game's pre-orderers will have access to looks pretty intriguing: A skull-emblazoned parachute? An outrageously powerful handgun? A hovering deathtank? Yes, please. (Check out the trailer above to see these bonuses in action.)
Even if you're vehemently opposed to pre-ordering a game, you need to watch this trailer, if only for the last 20 seconds. It's a real -- wait for it -- drag.

Is the first Just Cause worth playing? Because this one looks really fun.

Well, I'm playing through it right now. It contains a lot of shooting, a lot of driving, and a lot of things BLOWING THE HELL UP. Oh, and you get to kill corrupted policemen and drug henchmen.

The ending of the trailer was hilarious, the pre-order bonuses somewhat mediocre.

If it's 'Rico's signature gun' then why isn't it in the game already?

Yeah, I kinda miss the days when you'd get extra weapons and vehicles like this just by beating the game. It was a nice reward to unlock and play around with.

Is it just me, or were the pre-order bonuses announced AGES ago (as in, way before christmas) in a different trailer? Complete deja vu here.

They were announced on the website, but there was no video until now.

The pre-order bonuses, as well as the Panau map, are NOT available in the US as a boxed set package. In the US, when you pre-order, each retailer has only ONE of these items (Gamestop has the signature gun, Best Buy has the parachute, etc.). The rest of the world, however, gets a limited edition boxed set featuring ALL of the items.
As of right now, Eidos mentioned the US might get the rest of the items as paid DLC if the demand is high enough, but nothing is concrete yet. I'm still waiting to find out which retailer has the hovercraft, since that's the item that seems useful in multiple situations and it isn't just a cosmetic feature.

Sad thing is, Mercs 2 DID look like this in all the trailers. Thats why im a bit cautious of Just Cause 2.

I get the feeling these'll be available for download/purchase on the networks after a few months. I can afford...to wait.
