Just Cause 2 is massive over the top explosions and free roaming that can blow games like GTA and Saint's Row out of the water for it's sheer scale. If it looks like you could shoot it and make it blow up, you probably can, and you will want to in order to progress the story. The story itself is a satirical caricature of various countries and nationalties that acts as a decent backdrop to your path of destruction and explosions. There's a decent variety of weapons and a large selection of vehciles, although only a select few to gain at will. One of the games biggest highlights is the grappling hook which you can use to connect 2 objects, whether that be you and the cliff you are trying to climb, a goon and a moving car or a high wall, or something absurd like 2 planes in mid air. The hook feels very smooth to control and you can do some impressive things with it. Fully completing every location in Just Cause can be grindy, but its basic formula of causing chaos is so fun all but a tryhard completionist wouldn't view it as a major issue, considering this is a gigantic sandbox. This is your very own island, go blow it up.
