Mercs 2 Review – WildeKat
What can I say about the game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames while sitting here thinking about how to blow that next target up? It’s a question which I am sure you will be asking, as well as why the hell you bought this game!
Well it is a very explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a war zone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 feature a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III.
Mercenaries 2 feature 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 crap out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new cooperative multiplayer mode. You are not a soldier. You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you must fulfil the terms of the contract, no matter what. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honourable. Everyone will try and screw you, given the chance. They think they can get away with it, because they don't know rule #1: EVERYBODY PAYS.
Graphically I would give it a 7, because the graphics are very good but could be a lot better I think personally.
I think it is very playable and it will keep you going for ages. When you are not in a mission you can just drive around the island which is quite big and there is always a new place to explore.
Personally I think it will keep people playing it for quite awhile, as I am always going back to it. I also would like to think it will last a long time to come; the only thing that lasts this game is there is no online gaming apart from the co op play which does not really count as online. I would have liked to see it have an online team mode as well, because I think it would have really made the game.
Right the total mark I give this game is 8, because I do like playing it.
