Just Cause 2 employs the Avalanche Engine 2.0; an updated version of the engine used in Just Cause. The game is set on the other side of the world from the original Just Cause, on the fictional tropical island of Panau in Southeast Asia. Rico Rodriguez returns as the protagonist, aiming to overthrow the evil dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay and confront his former boss, Tom Sheldon.
The gameplay is similar to that of its predecessor, the player is free to roam the game's open world at will, not having to focus on the game's storyline.
Several new additions and improvements to the game have been highlighted by lead designer, Peter Johansson. The AI has been rewritten to use a planning system which enables enemies to perform varying actions. In game enemies can use the environment to their advantage, taking cover behind objects and adapting dynamically to the objects around them. Additional elements include vertical gameplay and a manual aiming system that allows the player to have full control over the cross-hair, allowing for the pinpointing of specific limbs with varied crippling effects. Just Cause 2 also has an adaptive difficulty system, gradually scaling the difficulty as the player does more in the game.
The game takes place on the fictional island of Panau, situated in the Malay Archipelago. It is geographically similar to both New Zealand and Hawaii.
Notable features of Just Cause 2 include the dual-grappling hook, which gives players the ability to tether objects to each other. There are no limitations to what can be tethered, allowing tethering of enemies to vehicles. This feature can be utilized in gameplay situations, such as high speed vehicle chases, wherein the player can use the dual-hook to attach a pursuing vehicle to the ground, immediately forcing it to a stop and causing immense damage to the vehicle.
In addition, the player is given a 're-loadable' stunt parachute which is always ready to be deployed, even if it had been deployed and discarded only moments before. This can be combined with the grappling hook and used for a fast method of transport in a technique known as the "slingshot maneuver" which literally slingshots the player around the map.
