M2 is way better then the 5.0 GameSpot rated it!
User Rating: 8.5 | Mercenaries 2: World in Flames X360
I've played Mercenaries 2 for about 3-4 hours and I for one like the overall concept of the game. The free roam world along with the audio and visual are quite nice. In free roam games I like to customize and blow stuff up... this game has both of those features. The controls got to me at first, but like any game after a while you get the hang of it. I also like that fact that AI is smarter and calls out your location. I also think there is a sufficient amount of ammo and weapons for your character, so you never feel like your screwed in a gun battle. The car handling needs a little work, but manageable after a while. I think Mercenaries 2 is well worth a play, if you ask me, go check it out today! Trust me when I say you won't regret it. I haven't even begun to touch the multiplayer aspect of the game, but from what I heard its very fun and entertaining... now all I need is a beer! LOL
