Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - Xbox 360 review

Soldier of misfortune?

4/10

The good: Huge game world, fantastic looking explosions
The bad: Far too many bugs, horribly underpowered weapons, terrible story
Verdict: The poor story is only the starting point: underpowered weapons and a horrific number of bugs make this one to miss

well i thought it was great and theres not that many bugs, although the guys do sometimes stand there and take the butt of a gun to the face happily. The world is huge but i thought that driveing through warzones getting shot at was pretty fun. The weapons i think are ok the machine guns all feel the same though but the variants of vehicles are awsome. hijacking stuff is a great rush until you get mad because its really hard to hijack. The hardest hijack i did was an alied tank wich takes splitsecond timeing to pull off. But all in all i think its the better version of crackdown. i would give it an 8 and say go rent it and see if you like it then if you do buy the game. Posted by anderson, usa
Disappointing. I loved the first game but this could almost have been released along side it. I totally agree it was rushed, I'm pretty sure this was meant to have been released a year ago but was held back. It's a pity nothing appears to have been done with it during the extended delay.

It is fun though. Not not the most you'll have on the 360, but it's a no brainer. For achievement freaks like me it's some easy points, but it's not the keeper I was hoping for.

7 / 10, at a push. Posted by Dinosore, England
