Mercenaries 2: World In Flames

"Overall I found that Mercenaries 2 was quite a good game after all, but it took some getting into. If the developers focused more on making it a next gen title instead of a polished up Playstation 2 one, it would have gone on to receive better praise from criticsÂ…"

"Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is the sequel to Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction which was released on the original Xbox way back in 2005, now 3 years on and here we are with another healthy fix of carpet bombs, turret mounted jeeps, and one bad ass Swede who sports a Mohawk that is the envy of every heavy metal fan around the world.

World in Flames takes stage in the beautiful land of Venezuela, and although youÂ’d rather love to drive around and take in the sights there are actually..."

"Explosions. Mercenaries 2 World in Flames has lots of them. Once you see the first air strike you just want to have more of them. There are so many things you can blow up and destroy you may well end up spending more time doing that than getting on with the mission."

"Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is about blowing s*** up. If you don't like blowing s*** up, here's a deck of Uno cards. Now, if you're like me and you get a kick out of wrecking tanks, demolishing buildings, and setting the jungle ablaze, then Mercs 2 may be worthy of your attention.
