A 5.0 Gamespot...seriously? obviously fun is not a factor in their criteria for review...

I was a big fan of Mercs 1, blowing stuff up just never gets old. So of course I had high anticipations for the second in the series. What I found was more of the same, this isn't necessarily bad, however. While largely the game is a revamped version of the first game it has been expanded. customizeable vehicles, new mission types, and loads of new weapons and explosives to play with...I can't get enough. The gameplay is fairly decent, although the shooting at far distances can be a pain, mostly due to the fact that your bullets have a tendency to spray everywhere except at your target. The graphics won't have you checking your pulse but they do the job. The one thing that really pushed my buttons was how unpolished the game was. In my estimated 8 hours of play so far I have encountered several glitches, one of which gave me 20 achievements I shouldn;t have unlocked (I'm not complaining though). If your looking for something fun and easy, just blowing stuff up, this game is for you. If not a buy then a definite rent.
