Mercenaries 2: World in Flames: PlayStation 2

Model number: 15749 | SKU: 8873846

SynopsisYou're a mercenary caught in the middle of a nation under invasion. After a power-hungry tyrant interfered with its oil supply, all of Venezuela has turned into a massive war zone. But rather than fleeing from danger, you're savoring this turn of events. After all, as a mercenary you're out only for your own profit. And in the middle of an international crisis, there's plenty of profit for someone with your total ruthlessness and appetite for destruction. No matter what it takes, you will fulfill the terms of your contract — and nobody had better stand in your way. Get ready for intense, over-the-top action in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and engage in your own brand of warfare in a massively open world. Take advantage of your mercenary status to work for the highest bidder, throwing your lot in with whichever faction offers you the greatest advantage. The choices you make will help determine the outcome of the war. Blast your way across the varied terrain of Venezuela in vehicles ranging from civilian cars to tanks and use all the destructive weaponry you can get your hands on. Knock down buildings to take out enemies and watch them fall with awesomely realistic effects. Recruit other mercenaries and build your own private military company to grow your arsenal and your leverage. In Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, your loyalty is to yourself and everybody else pays.

What's great about it: Free roam and EVERYTHING blows up.
What's not so great: No split screen

"When I first started playing it took me a few minutes to get familiar with the controls and often brought up the binoculars when in a fire fight. The variety of vehicles, weapons and missions is impressive. The humor is great, even if the cracks about getting shot in the butt do get a bit old. With a little imagination you can find a multitude of ways to complete most missions. I can see people who need a little more guidance not enjoying the game, and some of the violence is over the top for some younger children."

What's great about it: None
What's not so great: Graphics and UI

"I was a major fan of the first Mercs game and thought this one would be a blast too, but sadly found it to be a major let down. The graphics are boxy, the game NPCs are a joke as you can run right in front of them at times and it takes minutes for them to tell you are an enemy. The repeating dialog also gets old really fast. If I hadn't played the first one I might have liked this one, but personally this gamer feels they dropped the ball on this sequel."

What's great about it: Vehicle selection, gun selection, big booms, and blowing stuff up.
What's not so great: Nothing.

"This game is just oozing with awesomeness! If you loved the first one..then you'll absolutely make love to this game.

The first one had a lot of programming errors(glitches, mainly with the sound), but with that said, it was one of my favorite games for the PS2. I pre-ordered M2 for the PS3 and I was completely blown away when I played it! It was soo addicting, that I just had to buy it for the PS2; since I still play my PS2 a lot.

Anyways, this game is a real treat for any person that likes to blow the heck out of stuff.(and yes the explosions are just pure magical works of art)

So enjoy this game and let the destruction begin! ;)"
