The Just Cause 2 Demo is the free demonstration version of Just Cause 2.
Description[]
The Just Cause 2 Demo can be launched through the Steam, Xbox LIVE, Onlive, or the Playstation Network.
The demo starts off with Rico Rodriguez walking into the Reapers HQ. Rico talks to Bolo Santosi, the leader of "revolutionary army known as the Reapers." He stated that she was looking for able-bodied comrades. While there was not much discussion to be had, Rico followed Bolo to an H-62 Quapaw in the Reapers HQ's courtyard and brought him to the Reapers Hideout in the Lautan Lama Desert.
At this point, the player gains control of Rico and is instructed to start earning Chaos points. The player is allowed to freely roam over 75 square kilometers of the Lautan Lama Desert for at most 30 minutes after leaving the Reapers Hideout. There are 14 marked locations to discover; 1 race (Desert Dash) and 1 mission (Can I get a Witness) to complete in that time. When the time runs out, another cutscene encourages you to buy Just Cause 2. It should be noted that it is entirely possible to complete every settlement, challenge, goal, mission, and destroy every destructible item possible, and collect every resource kit before the timer runs out. This is known as speed-running; check out the summary picture in the gallery below for what a "perfect completion" would look like.
In the Black Market, the only weapons that can be unlocked are Fragmentation Grenade, Pistol, Submachine Gun, Triggered Explosive and the Grenade Launcher. Additionally, the only vehicles that can be unlocked are the Makoto MZ 260X, Rowlinson K22 and Hedge Wildchild. Items costs are reduced, and significantly fewer resource parts are needed to upgrade weapons and vehicles. Extraction in this demo is permanently locked without Modifying.
The Just Cause 2 Multiplayer mod does not work for this. Also, you could get the "World Location Settings" mod, but nothing else is loaded beyond the demonstration boundaries. You can modify the Just Cause 2 Demo, but finding mods for it would be difficult due to the lack of them out there. However, graphical mods still function as intended.
Trivia[]
- The introduction cutscene is the same cutscene from the Rocket Science mission in the full game, but the discussion has been changed a little.
- The Sakura Aquila Metro ST in the demo by a gas station was replaced in the full game by a Titus ZJ.
- The Garret Traver-Z is still in that exact location from the demo.
- There once was a mod where you could play the Just Cause 2 Demo for 3100+ hours. That mod is now outdated and there are currently no known other mods of that kind, but there is a glitch with a similar effect. If you're lucky, you may still find it in time. See below for the glitch demonstration.
- Oddly, the Reapers Hideout in which you start in is not a settlement in the full version; it is classified as an unmarked location. If you go there, there is no Transformer, or pathway which leads to boxes holding a Submachine Gun and a Fragmentation Grenade. There are weapon parts there though.
- Though in the Lautan Lama Desert, the traffic in the area is the same as the traffic in any grassland area, making buses and various Chevalier pickups extremely rare.
- As mentioned by someone on the JC wiki discord, some people got this demo by finding a disk of it in a magazine: "CD Action". They can also get the disk by getting a 2010 copy of Xbox Magazine. The Demo Disks can be very rare to find as well. View the gallery below to see the demo disk.
- It is possible to extend the Just Cause 2 Demo timer up to ten extra minutes. Normally, the player will be granted 30 minutes of play-time, but by causing enough Chaos and doing special "tasks," such as discovering enough settlements or killing enough hostile forces. By doing these tasks, the game is programmed to award the player extra time ranging from twenty seconds to five minutes.
- Funny enough, it is possible to get a 100% completion of the demo (if it is done in a timely manner), but it is impossible to get a 100% completion in the full game.

Bugs[]
- There is a glitch to play forever. This video shows a demonstration of it.
- An extremely rare occurrence where the introduction cutscene will show inclement weather. This is likely due to the game's cutscene being rendered in real time. This functionality also carries over into the full game.
- In the demo's first cutscene, you may notice a Reaper soldier sitting in the air in the background, cleaning his rifle.
- There will be a glitch where Lembah Cerah and Kampung Tok Dalang will have their Pandak "Baby" Panay statues already destroyed. This does not happen all the time.
