    Oh geez. I did that in GTA IV by doing it at one go and waypointing the markers when they popped up on the map (they only appeared immediately after you went under one you hadn't already been under, and disappeared something like 20 seconds later).

    Guess I'll have to notepad it too now D:

    Limbo thing?

    Aye, Bridge Limbo. Achievement for flying an airplane (heli's don't count) under every bridge in Panau. I believe the achievement reads 31 unique bridges.

    It's 30 bridges... and there are way more than 30 in this game. Some of the bridges are so small, you can only get that mini-jet agency plane under them.

    Yeah, definitely more than 30 bridges in the game. You can even fly underneath the highway overpasses in the middle of a landmass and get credited for bridge limbo (I've no idea how I manged to achieve that).

    I did most of the bridges in the green jet. I found it much easier than even that small plane you get for race challenges. For bridges with posts too close together, I had to fly sideways.

    Edit: And for people who say the challenges give too much time, it's clearly so there is enough room to be awesome. Was on checkpoint 17/21 on a land race when my Titus sports car drove off the edge of a huge bridge. In most games, that would spell "restart" right there, but in Just Cause 2, I bailed, parachuted back onto the bridge, and highjacked a cab to finish the race... with a minute to spare.

    That's pretty much it. The graphics might be better, but I wouldn't know.

    360 triggers don't suck?

    Outside of that, just the youtube thing I believe.

    Aside from the youtube thing just the normal differences (controller, trophy/achievements).

    Yay, Bridge of Death complete! I only need to finish 5 more races and I will have done them all with the vehicle they give you. I'm surprised at how fun these races are. Most of them have something unique about them. Some of the boat ones are hilarious. Why is it leading me to a dead end? Oh... so I launch the boat up the ramp, across the busy road (knock a guy off his motorcycle), and skid for about 10 seconds down the beach on the other side... awesome.

    Shit, you should also reconsider doing missions that aren't Agency missions while you're at it

    But yeah, I've only attempted plane races once, and I quickly regretted it

    Plane races are only frustrating because of the lack of yaw. Hopefully that gets patched in.

    You sometimes get the little zippy plane, and that's not too bad, but the huge jet is awful. You have to be lined up about a mile before you hit a ring, or you'll never turn in time. Better to waste the cash and order in the Agency plane than attempt it with that.

    Guys, just fully upgrade the first black market helicopter. You go super fast in it and you can turn properly. It's the only way you should be doing air races. Also, I'm getting the hand of the freefall races. It's all about setting yourself up to parachute sideways through the ring.

    A few of them are really easy too, and you always get $20,000. :)

    Oh, one annoyance I've had with the game is whenever I do the grapple-cars-to-the-ground thing, they always seem to end up right side up. I want them to flip over and explode. Just cause.

    Y'know what, lah. I don't think I've enjoyed voice acting in a game this much since Farcry 2, lah.
    ...Serdadu.

    Also, thinking about it now. I'm pretty sure the only times I have ever stopped a vehicle and gotten out has been for missions. Every other vehicle I've used the entire time I've been playing I have lept off or out of and has ploughed into something at high speed and exploded or fallen out of the sky. Fuck yes.

    It's amazing how this game is a polar opposite in voice actor quality as to, say, Mass Effect 2 with its Martin Sheens and Keith Davids, yet is just as enjoyable.

    Yes. That and the fact that the dudes hanging out the side of the jeep seem to magically cling to them despite it doing six full rotations in the air before landing perfectly on all four wheels kind of grinds my gears.

    But then I shoot them in the head and all is right with the world again.

    I've been capturing footage with FRAPS and bar my very first upload, they all appear with garbled static and green. Does youtube not support native FRAPS AVI captures?

    Do I need to change some aspect ratio on them? They play fine in windows.

    Fraps uses it's own proprietary codec. You need to encode the video into something that youtube can handle first.
