Gonna take a shower and then start on this. Cognissonance (talk) 18:55, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Lead

• "developed by Swedish developer" — Minimize repetition, remove "Swedish developer".
• "destroy government property on Panau for Chaos points. These Chaos points" — Minimize repetition, remove second "Chaos".
• "They worked with" — Clarify: "Avalanche Studios worked with".
• "generally-positive" — Remove the hymen--I mean, hyphen.

Gameplay

• Establish that it is played from a third-person view and link to Third-person shooter.

Development

• "According to Johansson" — Clarify: "According to Peter Johansson".
• "The team also refined parachute" — Fix grammar: "The team also refined the parachute".
• "an island with a variety landscapes" — Fix grammar: "an island with a variety of landscapes".
• IGN (source 22) is dead. Archive or replace it.
• PRNewswire (source 23) does not seem to connect.
• "allows the user to capture gameplay video and export it to the XMB or upload it to YouTube from the game" — "from the game" is unnecessary when gameplay recording is already established.

Marketing and release

• "A sequel to Just Cause was announced" can be simplified with "Just Cause 2 was announced".

Multiplayer mod

• Cinema Blend (source 40) is unreliable. Use the source it's quoting, GameSpy.
• Would be nice to have source 42 with the website=IGN parameter.

Reception

• "generally-positive" — There it is, again.
• "the game was widely regarded as a significant improvement of its predecessor" — Fix grammar: "the game was widely regarded as a significant improvement to its predecessor".
• Add website=VG247 to source 52.
• "The explosion was praised for its visual effects" — I think what is meant is "The explosions were praised for their visual effects".
• Source 51 should be updated with this and put website=IGN instead of "Pc.ign.com".
• "Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot and Ryan Clements of IGN noted a number of gameplay problems" — Keep it short, but establish what the gameplay problems were.
• "and travelling between locations was so enjoyable that players would rarely use the black marketeer" — If this is what VanOrd said, just prefix the sentence with "and stated that".
• "The game's difficulty and artificial intelligence were criticized as frustrating, sometimes spawning in front of the player" — What spawns in front of the player?
• "the standard and presentation of its cutscene was not on a par with the game world" — Fix grammar: "the standard and presentation of its cutscenes were not on par with the game world".

Legacy

• Microsoft Windows — Link to Microsoft Windows
