18 Greatest Last Levels In Gaming History

17. A Just Cause - Just Cause 2

Just Cause 2 is ridiculous. Embracing the wacky anarchy of the campiest 80s action movies, Avalanche Studio's open world sandbox game has you doing some insane things during the course of the title's playtime. However, you've seen nothing until you've found yourself boarding an atomic submarine to stop it from launching its missiles in the game's final mission.

But for those of you unimpressed at the thought of stopping nuclear missiles in video games, you might want to know that you don't actually prevent the nukes from being launched in Just Cause 2. Instead, you have to chase after them, catching a ride on the back of the bombs while fighting off like-minded enemies who don't want you to defuse the explosives.

That's right, the finale of Avalanche Studio's sequel, fittingly, has you literally getting headshots while riding atomic bombs. If that doesn't make you want to fire up Just Cause 2 immediately then nothing ever will.
