    When Grand Theft Auto 3 first arrived on the Playstation 2, it was something of a revelation. While not the first free-roaming "sandbox" game ever, for many people it was the first game of that ilk that they had actually played. Nowadays, there seems to be one out every few weeks, meaning that they have to do something fairly special to get noticed. Even then, so many have to put up with being dubbed as "GTA with xxx" games, where the xxx represents a slight difference... Read more

    Mercenaries 2 is the sequel to the open-world sandbox game that received so much critical acclaim back on the PS2 and Xbox. It was hugely impressive in its context, but has the next instalment moved with the times? Read more

    Rent it and check it out. There's a good game here if you have the patience to find it, particularly if you play with a friend, but nobody would blame you if you felt the bugs made it unplayable. Read more

    A great Game, Reccomended. This game, seems to be a mix between grand theft auto and bf bad company, with a bit of call of duty 4 sneaking in. With online play, to do missions in co-op the game is very competative, yet enjoyable at the same time. With everything destructable, this game will bring hours of fun! Read more

    Fun: This review is from: Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (Xbox 360) (Video Game) First of all the online achievements are unattainable for me, i have to physically disconnect my network from my Xbox to get past the main menu's attempt to connect to EA's Merc 2 server. Secondly the controls for the tanks will make anyone who is a Call of Duty fan want to scream. Lastly after repeated attempts to correct my crashing Xbox, (profile changes, Zune video software removal,... Read more

    The game would have been awesome, too bad it does not work on new Xbox 360's. Bought one for myself and one for my friend, Cd loads then gets stuck in the intro screen when connecting to live. What fun is this game if youre not playing with buddies? Bought 2 originally from gamestop, did not load. Bought 2 from here, again, did not load, friends also did not load, 4 cds, 2 xboxs, none worked. Way to drop the ball EA and give up on a game after launch. also tried all the... Read more

    If you enjoyed the first Mercenaries that came out on the Xbox and PS2 then you'll probably like this sequel. It still has Mattias, Chris, and Jennifer. It still has huge explosions. It still has a sandbox-type feel to it. It still rewards cash for killing bad guys. But it gets rid of the 52 card assassination missions from the first game and goes with a revenge story which takes place in Venezuela. The story is ho-hum and you'll mainly be doing objective based missions... Read more
