What Happened?

User Rating: 6 | Mercenaries 2: World in Flames PS3
I played the first Mercenaries for the PS2 and loved it! Joy to my ears that a sequel is coming! YA! I go buy it and put it in my PS3 and after the first half hour I'm staring at a pile of crap.

Here is why...

1. AI should be called NI for "No Intelligence". I cant tell you how many times I've failed mission because some one ran in front of my vehicle or line of fire.
2. Kinda Ugly. I have a 720p HDTV. And I can see the relative ugliness of the characters and objects during cutscenes.
3. Everything sounds the same. The audio isn't necessarily bad, but it sounds like every explosion is an 8-bit recording of a car blowing up.
4. Bugs, bugs, bugs and more bugs. I haven't seen so many general bugs in a game, well, ever honestly.
5. Lack of creativity. You'd think with a massive map and many factions you would have a unique story line and mission structure, well your wrong. 90% of missions are the same just with a different faction and the story line is very stale.

I tried to give this every benefit of the doubt but it still disappointed me later on...
If not for the trophy patch, my score would have been a 5.0 because trophies are the only thing that keeps me interested in this game.
Unless you are a true die-hard Mercs fan, don't even look at this game.
