Is Mercenaries 2 worth the hype? The answer in this review.
User Rating: 5.5 | Mercenaries 2: World in Flames X360
After waiting forever for Mercenaries 2, I rented it the day it came out, and it's bad. Don't believe the hype. The story is pretty bad. The Merc you choose (you can choose 1 out of 3) gets shot in the butt, and you want revenge against the guy who did that. it's just an excuse to blow stuff up looking for him. The gameplay involves blowing stuff up. You can blow anything up. The game also focuses on contracts that fractions give you, but they get repetitive too quickly.
Then there's the AI. The AI is just stupid. Sometimes they'll just stand there.
The graphics are OK, but nothing special.
This game also has a number of glitches, but I don't know since I haven't seen them.
If you like to blow stuff up, then that will make up for the cons. If you don't, then rent it and try it out, or don't buy this at all.
