Product Description
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world.
Amazon.co.uk Review
If there really isn't any such thing as bad publicity then Mercenaries 2 is already doing superbly. It certainly already has its fair share of infamy, after being denounced by the Venezuelan government as propaganda for the U.S. Army and even dragging Bono (who part owns developer Pandemic) into a row over its probity. Mind you North Korea weren't too keen about the first game either and that turned out all right. The reason poor Bono's name has been dragged into the dirt is that the game's plot revolves around a U.S. led invasion of Venezuela after a dictator takes control in a coup. It's pretty hard to get offended about a game as gleefully silly as this though as its interests are clearly not politics but simply blowing things up as creatively as possible. As before you're dropped into the war zone and free to ply your mercenary trade with whomever you want. However, this time you're in charge of your own PMC (Private Military Company) and get to set up your own base and recruit your own soldiers. Owning your own PMC gives you a lot more control over how exactly you play the game in what is essentially Grand Theft Auto in a warzone. Everything you see can be completely destroyed from innocuous shrubbery to be the biggest buildings. You can now swim as well and there's lot more vehicles and gadgets, from helicopters to grappling hooks. With an online co-op mode as well even Hugo Chavez couldn't fail to be entertained (maybe).

this game is for those that (I think) were a little disappointed with gta.
you can completely annihilate the scenery with a huge range of airstrikes, vehicles & weapons. It doesn't really take as much skill to fly and drive as it does in gta but they are two completely different games and I can't really compare the two. Although they have taken some bits from just cause it is a million times better being less cheesy, not as repetitive and way more fun.
Pandemic have done the first game justice and given me many hours of fun carnage!! Thank you so very much!

Mercs is a game that divides opinion, i happen to love it. The vivid environment, interesting characters and voice acting, but mostly the explosions, big ones and lots of them. The games missions are also varied, there are plenty of side missions and there is also a degree of strategy to use. Should i go in and subdue the target, or just carpet bomb the whole area? However, for some people the plot can be a bit thin and they may find it repetetive in places. But hey, for most, this game is gonna provide plenty of fun!
Most fun on the X360 so far! October 23, 2008

I think I am not as critical of this game as some of the other reviews as I never played the original. For me this is a brand new game...... and what a good one! The closest game to this is GTA, however it is also totally different. You can free roam, have missions to complete, but that's where the similarity ends. A seemingly endless selection of weapons and vehicles which you can use to kill, destroy and generally cause as much havoc with as you can possibly imagine! (MOAB's are great fun!) The vehicles and weapons are pretty easy to use and with lots of side contracts, you can just veer away from the main storyline and just keep blowing things up as much as you like. Had it less than a week, and completed it last night, this game has caused many a late night! My only criticisms are that I have found a few annoying bugs where a HVT 'disappears', buildings blow up and you cant get out and buildings that are totalled still show as not destroyed, and the last 2 missions are maybe a bit too easy, especially compared to some of the ones in the middle of the game, but these are not nearly enough of an issue to move it away from 5 stars! (and I haven't even played online yet!)
