    Yet despite the glaring flaws in Mercanries 2, the game still manages to have enough about it to save it from the depths of gaming oblivion. Somehow, against all the odds, the game still manages to be fun. Perhaps it’s the sheer over-the-topness of everything, Mercenaries 2 displays an exuberance missing from so many “realistic” games these days and it is this that will hold interest long after it should have waned. Despite running in to more inexplicable... Read more

    You will find that the action-packed explosion-fest that is Mercenaries 2 is kinda like a good action film: light on story, heavy on action and sure to keep a big, dopey grin on your face the entire time you play. Read more

    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... Read more

    In conclusion, Mercenaries 2 is the type of game that all pyromaniacs should be purchasing. If you love explosions accompanied with great sound effects and visuals, then this is worth a purchase, or at least a rental if you want to spend a whole weekend completing it with a friend (which seems like the better option). Unfortunately, due to the amount of games that are releasing, or are due to release shortly, many of us have decided to give this one a miss. It might be... Read more

    This generation of systems is drowning in sand box games but Mercenaries 2 proves to be another worthy contender. Even If you turn your nose up at the superficial faction war, if you cringe at every graphical glitch and if you demand more challenge from this frightfully easy game, at the very least you’ll be impressed and enthralled by the destructibility of the entire game world. The game is neither a realistic military simulator nor high brow entertainment; just... Read more

    Small maps, toss graphics, glitchy, poor gameplay concepts, terrible controls, rubbish game. Another over-hyped poor quality title that's whole budget and talent was spent on advertisements and propaganda. Read more
