Anyone else played it? I bought it for the PC last week for $6 bucks... and was probably the best $6 I've ever spent. It's a open world style game in the style of GTA, but it rules. Your main goal is to blow everything up and cause chaos. You have a grappling hook and parachute that pretty much allows you to get anywhere. One of the better games I've played in the last 2-3 years.
I played the demo of this, but I wasn't totally sure I got what the hell was going on.
Mayhaps I shall give it a second go. Any plotline at all, or just all out destruction?

I haven't beaten it yet, so I don't specifically know the plotline... there are plenty of missions/story so far... so I'd say there is a goal to work towards, yes.
The main mission is to assist guerrilla factions (3) in taking down a dictatorial government on the island. I didn't find it important as to which faction you join, as all the missions from the other 2 factions are still available once you've completed the main plot. The world is beautiful if your system can handle it, and the destruction doesn't get old, even after the game is beaten. Like in GTA, there are a few different kinds of things to collect that are scattered all over the world, like tribal skulls and briefcases with drugs in them.
I never even heard of this game but I think I need to give it a shot. The destructive freedom reminds me of GTA San Andreas.

The world itself is ridiculously shallow in terms of locales and people, the story is laughably bad but the sheer havoc you can create and the freedom you have to do virtually anything with the wacky physics is worth at least 20 or so hours of fun. Grab it on a Steam deal and it's a great buy.
My favorite thing to do is grapple cars to taxiing jetliners and ride around the map in the car hanging from the bottom of the plane. That and grappling jets to each other and trying to fly around.
