A Mercenary's Rule: Everyone Pays Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. When a power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply he sparks an invasion that turns the country into a war zone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: You are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. You are not a soldier. You don't have to play by anyone's rules. You have your own code: you will fulfill the terms of the contract, no matter what. If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it. Play your own way, or play with the help of a friend in the new co-op multiplayer mode. And remember rule #1 for mercenaries: EVERYBODY PAYS. |

 KABOOM!! September 2, 2008

I've been waiting to play this game ever since the first one came out and I was not let down. You can call in air strikes, helicopters, planes, boats you name it you can get it that also goes for the explosions because in this world you can blow up absolutely everything. Have you ever played a game like this (cough* GTA) and you were pissed that you fire off a rocket into a building and nothing happens?? Well, you don't have to worry about it here you can demolish anything you want. You can strap C-4 to the hood of your vehicle, drive it 100 mph down the street, jump out and blow up anything that is in your way enemies and buildings included.
Some people will complain, the graphics aren't top notch or they didn't like the story....I personally just like watching things go boom. That's just me though I could really care less about the story because in a game like this it doesn't really matter. The game is about creating chaos and mayhem not worrying about how the character feels inside.
I love this game and I would recommend this to anyone that wants to have a good time.

If you are some one who likes big explosions and watching things blown up to pieces this is the video game created just for you. Iam one of those who watch TV shows just because it is in High Def or they are showing demolitions of buildings. This is the perfect blend of the two I like, you can blow up ever thing and explosions look fantastic. Huge open world, not very strict mission sequences.
Sure they have never cared about character animations, dialog or AI. Some how people totally mistook Mercenaries for a FPS. This is not a FPS game, this is a Sand box blow up everything Action game. There may not be a pre-defined class where this game fits it in. The closest is GTA with Air Strike. You are never supposed to walk in to a compound and kill one at a time, you are supposed to bomb the whole camp to dust. Sure you can sneak behind blah blah.. dont waste your time. If you are looking for a methodical slow duck and shoot game get some thing else.
The main mission is to do any thing to make money, with the money buy bigger weapons to make your next mission easy. Make money to make more money. There are lot of waring factions who are willing to hire to do what you like most, set every thing on fire. There is some level of favor management that you have to do. It is not a good idea to job for every one; in the latter part it will be hard for to find lucrative jobs.
There are few places where I read, this game is politically biased against south America. It is not !!!! a simple Hollywood B level comical story where every one is fighting for oil. They even pirates :). It is nice to have light hearted story in games. Every thing in the game is meant as pure fun, just do any thing you wish to have a good time. That is all the theme of the game.
One thing I hate in the new Merc is vehicle hijacking. It is a pain with the context-sensitive button stuff. Bigger the vehicle crappy the system behaves.
The game moves at a hectic pace. Atleast give it a rent, the chances that you will fall in love is very high.
I like to blow s--t up September 8, 2008

I asked my wife to buy this game for me last week as soon as I found out the exchange had it on the shelves. I asked her to pick up the 360 version, but whatever the game is still cool... Even with the inferior PS3 controller. I have yet to notice the glitches that everyone else has, but then again I have only played the game for about 12 hours. The graphics, in my opinion are decent; certainly better than most people here have said. The one annoying thing that I have noticed is how the the ai keeps repeating the same little phrases over and over again. It doesn't really get to be a problem, it's just something I've noticed. Also, I wouldn't purchase this game looking for a really deep story line or anything like that. Like the title of this review says, it's all about blowing s--t up. try Bioshock for a deep story, buy this game for good drunken fun.

This game is simply very good, I liked a lot, the game has some bugs but I recommend.
most fun open world game I have played September 25, 2008

This game is very fun. I have almost 100hrs into it so far and am 72% finished. It is getting pretty hard but I have been playing a hr to a few hrs a day since it came out.
first I will address the pros
you can steal anything cars, tanks, anything.
Some of the vehicles are fast and fun to drive.
You can blow up everything.
There are a lot of things to do. And when you think it is over a whole new side of the map opens with 2 new factions. Which is about 40% more missions.
Now i will address the bad. The playstation mag says the ai is stupid. I disagree as I get killed a lot, and whenever I go into a hot area even with a tank, more times than others they blow up my tank and I have to keep finding other ways.
They also don't like the graphics. I have an old school tv crt. And it looks amazing to me so I disagree.
They don't like the voice acting. Well I assume they are talking about when your character sees a tank and says should I hijack it or nuke it. Or when the ai says look it the merc. So you hear things like this oh well.
I think the game is done very well especially considering the scale of the game.
