Review

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 warzone. But for you, international crisis is all upside: you are a mercenary, and you profit from chaos. Mercenaries 2 features a slew of potential clients, all willing to pay you to do their dirty work. These are world powers with deep pockets, deep grudges, and enough arms and ammo to start World War III. This is your kind of environment.

Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles - you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real-time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field.

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.

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. Not everyone in the world of Mercenaries is as honorable. Everyone will try and screw you, given the chance. They think they can get away with it, but they don't know rule #1 for mercenaries: everyone pays!

This is a rental game, the graphics are more or less the same as number 1 which was great for it's time. If you rent this for a week you will have done it and have goten bored. It is good though as it always is blowing up a whole town , rent this or buy it when i comes cheap !!

Stick with Mercs1

To be honest this game is not all its cracked up to be.
There is a lot of improvement in general gameplay such as the ability to swim, the inclusion of boats and the garage vehicle storage facility.
However the game is far shorter and smaller than the original Mercenaries title. This game includes only one map compared to two on the original and no longer gives the ability to start a new game but carrying over your equipment and unlocks.
Also, contrary to what is stated here the game does not include a multiplayer split screen co-op option. I have not tried playing online but offline no mulitplayer options were found.
In all a fun game but leaving you wanting far more replayabilty than is actually available.
