"Mercenaries 2 " Is the hit sequel to Pandemic Studios - Make them pay and have fun doing it.. "Mercenaries" is a 3rd person action-shooter game inspired by real world events.
Overview
 "Mercenaries 2: World in Flames™" is an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world. A power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela's oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a war zone.
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. Dirty deeds, done for exorbitant fees. 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.
Game play - 8/10
You have the choice here to decide if you stand alone against the opposition or if you want to drag a friend in to the battle with you in the co-op mode
In a single player campaign the controls are set up well and you never have the age old 3rd person camera problems that are common in this type of game, the best part is you don't seem to lose any of the great game play and camera angles when you go to co-op mode.
What i find to be the best part in this game is the ability to drop in on a friends game at any time and you don't even interrupt his game to do it.
Graphics - 9/10
There are so many little details in this game considering the size of the map but if you really want to see what the games got just find the biggest city you can and look it over real well and once you have seen the huge buildings and busy streets just drop a nuke and look at the wasteland you have made.
The mushroom cloud will tower over you in a way that makes you think a nuclear holocaust just might be the prettiest thing you have ever seen.
Sound - 8/10
From the full range of gun fire and explosion sounds this game is on target when it comes to the audio side and the quick little one liners are good for a quick giggle but there are a few of them that will be repeated to the point of irritation.
Over all the audio side is right ware it needs to be and fits the bill.
Overall - 8/10
If you ever played the original Mercenaries rather you liked it or not i think you should give this sequel a try as it is a vast improvement over the original and a good stand alone game if you have not played the first one.
With so many things to blow up and so many factions to work for and against you really cant go wrong with this game and should you find yourself buying or renting this game make sure you try the co-op mode as i find it to be one of the best games for it.
Happy killing.
