I loved Mercanaries 1 it was great I loved it and I was REALY excited for mercanaries 2 but oh was I surprised when I got this game. Let me just say I bought this game with something called expectations and I excpected it to be like mercanaries 1 but with better graphics and other things fixed about it and just improved in general.
MY REVIEW
XBOX 360 version
STORY
It is about a merc that is trying to get his money that this dude owes him but he gets shot in the ass so you try and get revenge on him and mix in an oil company pirates crazy Jamacians and other factions and you have this games story line, thats pretty much it. I thought it was a pretty lame story and I wasnt drawn in at all, not even in the slightest.
3/10
CONTROL
The games running and gunning style was pretty bad for its control setup, the game just didnt match the controls at all. And the driving was AWFULL probably the worst driving I have ever seen in a recent video game. It was shamefull, It makes me mad just thinking about it.
1/10
STYLE
This whole open world "Blow stuff up" game genre is being sucked dry and mercanaries 2 is a perfect example of that. I got bored of its unamaginitive style in like 5, "Big bumpin" that game that burger king gave out was better than this crapfest.
3/10
FUN
After about 10 minutes of playing it became a chore to play and it sucked. I hated this game so much that I am returning it, getting a new SEALED copy and then returning that SEALED copy for a different game! ~yep I broke the retail system FINALY!~
0/10
REPLAY VALUE
I couldnt muster the strength to beat this crap fest of a game.
0/10
SOUND
The weapons actualy sounded fairly good and the sound effects were pretty cool, but I heard the same freakin catch phrase over and over again. If you spent fiveminutes playin this game you will know what I mean.
4/10
GRAPHICS
The explosions were pretty sweet and about 50% of this game looks polished the other 50% looks realy bad like PS2 graphics and textures.
4/10
CONCLUSON
I would rather spend 60$ dollars on one of the many many good games coming this holiday.Dont get this piece of garbage, instead just spend like 15$ or 20$ dollars on "Just Cause" its basicly the same game but more fun better driving and cost a assload less.
I give this game a 4/10
You all owe me a cookie for saving you a trip to best buy and saving you 60$ dollars!
