Graphics:

The graphics in this game are good I guess. They are a little worse than they really could be but the look fits the game well enough I guess. Of course the world is 99.999999999999999999 destructible which means my and my "gun" had good times when I stumbled across a city. I quickly demolished the city with my helicopter as thousands of people yelled "GODZILLA" and ran down the street running oddly because of the gallons of piss I left in their pants from fear. Squish squish.

Gameplay:

Oh boy. The game play in Mercenaries 2 is a little bit of a let down. There's somewhat of a cover system this time around and you can aim over the shoulder this time around but the A.I. in this game is so god awful that it seemed like they were born and dropped on their heads and then run over by a series of monster trucks that happened to be rolling through the hospital all over the head. They're stupid to say the least. I was scared that I was going to die because of the way my allies were driving my car like a wreak less bunch of drugged up teenagers who were drunk shitless. You can buy weapons from a menu that gives you a list of weapons (30+), vehicles(200+) and air strikes (20+ including a nuclear bomb). You then get a big crate dropped on your head and you have your item or items dropped onto you. If you want one specific weapon you have to travel to a dealer but other than that I was satisfied with the buy system. As said before you can blow the living fuck out of everything and now you can swim making it so you no longer spas out worse than a dying possum when you so much as look at water anymore.

Sound:

I must admit, the sound in this game really does suck. The gunfire sounds good enough and explosions sound like they should but oh my gentle jesus the voice acting and script suck. Your allies say "Its the Merc!" whenever you so much as go within 60 feet of them and they cheer as if there is no godfucking tomorrow. Oh I almost forgot. The enemies do the very same thing. Thats right. The enemies really do cheer with joy and yell "Yes! We're saved! Its the merc!". I'm fucking serious try this game out and you'll see. That might not be annoying if people didn't say that 10000 times! Even if they're in a car with you and they already said it 20 times they keep on saying it in a 30 second pattern. When you explore home base keeps fucking messaging me saying, "Hey come back to the home base anytime". Fuck I know! If I wanted to be there believe me I would FUCKING BE THERE RIGHT NOW.

Appeal:

Mercs 2 isn't the longest game at all. 10 to 12 hours and you'll be done with the story. Oh but then you get into the real shits and giggles of Mercs 2. Blowing the fuck out of things. Free roaming is fuck loads of fun and storming an enemy camp with your own collection of 20 U.S. soldiers that you piled into your "tank" is fun to say the least. No Mercenaries 2 isn't the best sandbox game ever made (Far Cry 2 is...) and it has more bugs than fucking Superman 64 but hey who cares! Its fun thats all that matters. But most people think of fun and they think of lesbians and sex shows. Like me.

I'd buy this if it was right there in front of me and there was nothing else but If I had a choice I'd probably go with the other one.
