In the Just Cause games, players take on the role of Rico Rodriguez, a special agent and operative for the fictional Agency during the first game and then later as a freelance mercenary agent. Rico is tasked by factions within the in-game world to help overthrow evil dictators and criminal organizations in exotic locales ranging from Caribbean islands to the Himalayas.
