The bikes are crap for sure but overall, with nitrous and turbo jump, driving in JC3 is a lot better and more fun than in JC2. You can only ride sportscars fast on highways and airstrips). In JC3 you can also drive fast on small roads with a lot of turns and still stay on the road (something you can't do in JC2. Of course, JC3 car handling is not perfect, in fact, it does feel slippery and weird sometimes, but at least on roads most of the cars handle well and the buggy is fun to drive offroad. I can write a paragraph detailing why cars in just cause 2 are ridiculous but you'll most likely get bored of reading it. The car handling is WAY better than in JC2. Overall, I prefer JC3 to JC2, but I enjoy going back to Panau and wreaking havoc every now and then. JC3 is a little bit prettier graphics-wise, but is much more demanding on the hardware. In the hundreds of hours I played on JC2, there were only a handful of CTD's that I can remember, versus the countless ones I got from JC3. Stability: Can't verify on console, but JC2 definitely wins in performance and overall stability. Also, there were more settlements to destroy in 2 than in 3. The climate changes of Panau in 2, while kinda unrealistic, was amazingly fun to play in. Although Avalanche advertised that 3 is the same map size as 2, 3 has less landmass and has only one type of climate.

World: Just Cause 2 is the hands-down winner here. The grappling hook (and tether system) is far superior in JC3, and having unlimited explosives is just common sense. Some people complained about the cars being crap in JC3 (I agree), but they were also fairly crappy in JC2, so that's a draw. All of his actions and stunts feel like they're from a movie, and wingsuiting just right gives off a warm tingle like a perfect drift in a racing game. Gameplay: JC3 wins this one, as Rico feels more fluid with his wingsuit and parachute combo than in JC2.

There are fans on either side, and each game can be divided into three categories: Gameplay, World, and Stability.
