Given its troubled, delayed development, hope remained that Mercenaries 2 would deliver on the series' promise. Instead, the usually reliable Pandemic has produced a game that not only fails to compete with any current-generation openworld, but somehow takes a backward step from the original. With uninspiring combat contributing to a succession of desperately poor missions, the only remaining question is whether the developer will get a third chance to rectify matters

5/10

:LOL:
 
wow good thing I didn't want this game :|
 
Doesn't matter to me, that's the first bad review it got.
All of the problems it has can easily be patched/modded on the PC version.

Still hyped to hell for it.
 
F' that noise.

Read IGN's review. They acknowledge the game has flaws but rate it higher because despite its flaws, it's still damn fun - especially with a friend.
 
I've played both the PS2 and XB360 version of Mercs 2 and can confirm that they are both huge dissappointments when compared to the original Mercenaries.

No, PS2, if I typed PS3 that was a typo, the PS2 and XB360 version, afaik the 360 and PS3 versions are identical(developed by same company), whereas the PS2 was independently developed outside of Pandemic.

Maybe you and your friend were playing the shit out of it because the achievements are so damned easy to get right? :LOL:

I already have half in the game and i've only played 4 hours worth.
 
Oh no! Now I certainly won't be getting this game!

There are always those outlier reviews that exist to balance the scores out (although there are usually not enough of them). Average reviews for this game seem to be around 80-85.
 
There are certainly some badass moments to be had in this game.

Such as:

-Popping smoke for a carpet bombing run on an oil platform, leaping off the side of the rig and grappling to a friend's helicopter just before the bomb decimates the entire thing.

-Bunker busting the headquarters of your least favorite faction or the largest building you can find and watch it crumble

-Watch a MOAB obliterate a city block.

-Leap out of a crashing heli, grapple onto and steal another mid-freefall and watch your original heli crash and destroy an enemy encampment.

And more :)
