Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

matiss's Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (Xbox 360) review

Mercenaries 2 is unpolished, boring and annoying.

I was very excited about getting Mercenaries 2, not just because Mercenaries one was an awesome game, but because you can blow the sh*t out of everything. Well, too bad even that doesn't work out that way. The game has a boring storyline and charecters, so I wouldn't even bother telling you about them. The gameplay was fun for the first 10 minutes (yes, I actually loved the first mission), but after that it gets boring and repetitive. I left the game on the shelf after some more missions. It is glitchy. By glitchy I mean VERY glitchy. The sound is awful, and the only fun you can have with this game is by blowing stuff up. But that's kind of complicated. Every building has its own health-bar kind of thing, which is really stupid.

All in all, Mercs 2 is just unpolished and unfinished. If the game would be released some time early next year, maybe it would have been a lot better.

5.0/10

For the second game, the guys at Pandemic promised a bigger and better playground of destruction, with more explosions and, of course, more fun. They did deliver on th...

 First part of Mercenaries was one of best titles served us on original xbox. Game with idea GTA goes to war was brilliant. Now couple years later we got the same game with different setting. Venezuela instead of Korea is biggest difference. Root of the game is the same. We work for different fractions to earn money for big boom weapons. This time its revenge on president and his people who betrayed us and shoot in the bottom. Gaming experience is nice but lacks some deepth. We have here f...
