Brief synopsis of Mercenaries 2: World In Flames

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. When a power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply he sparks an invasion that turns the country into a warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: you are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment.

Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles - you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real-time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field.

If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living hell out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new co-op multiplayer mode.

Rated - 4 starsGreat game

WarlordArmstrong from London , 12/09/2008

Ignore the other guys comment he really doesn't know what he talking about the graphics are great i mean looking at Gta Iv and looking at Merceneries Merceneries ate Gta iv for breakfast . It a must played im loving it i think it could do with some more options & the online play a little lame being as you can only do co-op and it hard to get on a match online . But it a great game the explosions are great a mid range of selection of cars I love how you can steal helicopters from the air. A Must played better than Gta iv but it could of been better.

Ps. Ps2 Graphics aren't good but Ps3 Graphics are awesome.

Ps For the record i never said Graphical wise it ate Gta Iv for breakfast i said the fun factor ate GTA for breakfast c'mon GTA IV wasnt a fun game a well graphical game but it wasnt woopydoopydoo im blowing this building up and it not breaking .

Rated - 2 starsNot as great as it could have been...

It's not that this game isn't ok - it is, but I can't help feeling 'ok' isn't enough. I was a huge fan of Just Cause on the PS2, which allowed free roaming on a huge scale, use of vehicles and guns and interaction with the scenery. Mercenaries 2 just doesn't pull it off as well. The graphics are disappointing and lack much by way of detail, and the controls aren't great either. Nevermind - the disappointment of this game got me playing on GTA IV again!

Rated - 3 starsOk but no GTA IV

I can't believe anyone could say that Mercs 2 could eat GTA IV for breakfast with the graphics. GTA IV's graphics were absolutely amazing.

Mercs 2 was definitely an improvement on the 1st but that is to be expected with the transition between a PS2 and a PS3. The overall gameplay was improved but really could have been a lot better. I think it missed a chance...Better luck next time?
