Excellent review. I was, and am not, overly excited for this game on release, but I know I will enjoy it later when I eventually buy it (along with 2560x1600 screen and mass GPUs).
From the sound of the article, this game seems like a mix between Far Cry 2 mechanics, and the location and visual splendor of Just Cause 2. JC2 remains one of my top 5 favourite games and I could see myself imagining it when the author was talking about FC3.
