    There's just way to many games that even good games like this get overshadowed.

    I think this has a better chance of being a sleeper than Star Wars: Force Unleashed. I mean the title does have Star Wars in it...

    I see a lot of hype for this game.  It won't sell like GTA IV or something, but I think it will be bigger than a sleeper hit.

    I haven't played Mercs 1, but Mercs 2 looks very average. You might even say it looks bad.

    Have you seen the nuke??  That alone could change anyone's mind.

    Also the fact that you haven't played it or the first one, kinda makes your opinion less worthwhile.

    It could be a sleeper hit. I wouldn't have said this a year ago, but with all the delays and bad press the game initially received I believe it could become a sleeper hit. I myself have lost interest in the game and I am a huge fan of the original, but all the delays etc just killed my buzz for it. I hope the game is fun and I hope it ends up being awesome, but I do feel that all it's success relies solely upon how well co-op works...

    For me I actually think that the delays and stuff hyped it up more.  Because when it was first supposed to come out there was so many other games I wasn't even paying attention to it, and I was planning on not even picking it up.  I guess that's why I didn't  read all the bad press and stuff about it.  But now that there really isn't anything coming out at the same time, I am definatly gonna get it, and right now is one of my top most anticipated games.

    I can see where you are coming from. The game shows as average. The first trailer they released in particular.

    To me, this is a game that's gonna get me through to October, to Fable 2.  It looks to have a lot of great gameplay, especially with the co-op online and the fact that you can have fun spending hours just blowing stuff up and randomly travelling across the map to odd jobs for different factions.  It offers a lot of freedom and free roam which can take up countless hours.  I think that it could easilly be a sleeper hit, the sleeper of the year?  It's got a chance if people catch on to it before the month of October where all hell breaks loose with game releases.

    I also vote sleeper hit o' the year.  It has all the destructive sandbox-y fun of GTA, and even better co-op play.  I need to start saving some monies for the onslaught of ridiculomagnificent gamez coming out later this year.

    Ya but it's no game of the year. Storyline isn't too good. Far too many bugs and glitches.
