''Just Cause'' is a series of [[WideOpenSandbox open world]] action-adventure video games developed by Creator/AvalancheStudios. The series centers on the exploits of Rico Rodriguez, an operative working for the Agency (which is totally not the CIA), as he helps local guerrillas overthrow the [[BananaRepublic tyrannical regime]] governing [[FictionalCountry fictional island nations]], the first game of which takes place on the (fictional) Caribbean island of San Esperito. The player can drive nearly every vehicle under the sun, as well as climb about on them while moving at high speeds and jumping onto other nearby cars, trucks, tanks, helicopters, etc. Notable for the inclusion of a grappling hook, which allows Rico to rappel onto moving vehicles from a distance, and a parachute, which allows for all manner of aerial stunts.
