Game description: In Just Cause, take on the role of the flamboyant Rico Rodriguez--an undercover CIA operative specializing in regime change--as he tries to overthrow the corrupt government of San Esperito. This rogue South American island is suspected of stockpiling WMDs and it's your job to negate the threat to world peace. It could be to your advantage that this tropical paradise is about to implode as various factions vie for power--it just needs a gentle nudge in the right direction.
Just Cause begins with Rico Rodriguez, an operative for an organization known as the Agency, being dropped into a Caribbean tropical island called San Esperito, after being called there by his commanding officer, Tom Sheldon, to help overthrow San Esperito's dictator; Salvador Mendoza, whom the Agency believes to be in possession of weapons of mass destruction. After his arrival, Rico meets up with Sheldon and fellow agent Maria Kane, and they ally themselves with a guerrilla group staging a rebellion against the regime and the Rioja drug cartel, another enemy of the government.

Game seems to work kinda ok with GSdx Software mode. But its pretty slow and still suffers from some missing textures, not to mention that it looks horrible too., Lots of missing textures with GSdx HW mode. Software mode is bit better but its still suffering from lots of missing stuff to be considered playable. There are strange blue/red lines at bottom with GSdx Software mode.

USA v02.20(10/02/2006), EE/VU Clamp: Standard, EE/VU Rounding: Standard, playing in hardware mode causes the game to have many missing textures, software mode looks good but has an RGB error line error below. It doesn't affect the gameplay but can disturb some people.
