Is it necessary to play Just Cause 1 before number 2?

What's your opinions of either game?

I just finished Far Cry 3 and these games look like they could be similar. Are they?

Neither of those games are really about the story. They are a ton of fun because of how creative you can be though. I'd say start with Just Cause 2, just because it's newer, prettier, and I think it was more fun. Then if you want to, go back and play Just Cause.

Thanks.

What are the game mechanics like?

The best way I can describe my experience... It's like Spiderman decided machine guns and rocket launchers were a better choice of weaponry.

Or it's like a full 3D version of Bionic Commando.

Take your pick. You have a grappling hook, a parachute, and there's no where you can't go.

Okay that settles it. I'll give it a try.

Thanks.
