Dam this is awesome, i'm so pleased that my machine can actually run it. I took a stab in the dark and just had to get this, having read the reviews etc on it. As soon as I installed it, it was ready to go. Great game, with great sounds, speech etc. Like Farcry 2 it doesn't need a heap of Computer Grunt to run it, therefore once you've upgraded then you play it at full specs. A must for people owning an older machine, i.e. myself. Love blowing things up in it, and stealing product. If your a fan of GTA 4, then you'll love this, but more destruction.
Mercenaries 2 is a game where anything you see can be destroyed in seconds. With the ability to be able to use pyrotechnics, bombs, grenades, air strikes and an arsenal of guns! This game is just like one big playground that you can total! The graphics are not that stunning however. Even on the very highest settings it is still quite blurry and very low. But still this is a game that is action filled and is fun for hours on end. Recommended buy. 4/5
Awesome! You can destroy almost everything. Even when not in a mission it is a lot of fun. It is a mixture of Grand Theft Auto and Red Faction but in Venezuela as a mercenary.
Like to fly combat choppers against tanks and infantry?
Attack and commandeer tanks and other vehicles?
Call in artillery strikes and bombing runs?
Have no allegiance to any faction or company other than what you want?
Then this is the perfect game for you. No holds barred action and explosions
GTA style.
Total freedom of choice – follow the story to unlock additional equipment and
weapons, or just blow stuff up.
Smooth game play for those of us with the machines to run – its a bit of a grunta. but even with the details and effects turned down a wee bit – its still delivers on excellent gameplay.
My only bone I would pick – is the ‘comandeering’ technique used. Basically – pushing key to correspond with on screen prompts – a bit difficult to get the frequency right – very frustrating.
All in all a very nice and action packed game – highly recommend to adrenaline junkies :)
