DESCRIPTION
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames continues the open-world warfare that helped distinguish its Xbox and PS2 predecessor. You are cast in the role of a heavily armed mercenary, whose truculent talents go to the highest bidder. The destination this time around is Venezuela, where a military coup has instigated a full-scale battle over the country's precious oil supply. Resources such as tanks, APCs, boats, automobiles, and even mini-nukes can be at your disposal in a moment's notice. You can set buildings, vehicles, and even people on fire while you complete a series of deadly missions at the behest of wealthy clients.
Key features include a cooperative multiplayer campaign, an ability to recruit fellow mercenaries, and an assortment of tools to master. One such gadget, the grappling hook, lets you latch onto helicopters and other aircraft to commandeer them from the air. Once again the action is viewed from a third-person perspective as you choose from three playable characters, each possessing distinct attributes: powerful Christopher Jacobs, agile Jennifer Mui, and unstable Mattias Nilsson. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is developer Pandemic Studios' first release since being acquired by Electronic Arts in October 2007. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“True to everything you have heard about it, the game is buggy. Not only that, it is repetitive. It is a great romp around the jungle for a few hours, but you will quickly find that the game simply does not progress beyond that point. You literally just go from point A to point B and blow something up. That is pretty much it. On top of that the explosions aren't that impressive. Crackdown did it better and added more interesting search elements and vertical gameplay.
The game is extremely buggy as well. Enemy AI will exhibit odd behavior like showing up in an opposing guard tower, blowing itself up, or sometimes just not dying. Also there is money and artillery littered all over the world. I am not sure if it is supposed to re-generate or not but there is no reason to really ever use the in game purchasing system for new equipment.”

“This game was a big disappointment compared to the first game. The environment is much prettier than the first game and some cool airstrikes and bombs but thats about all this game offers. The missions aren't nearly as fun as the first game and there aren't as many either. Theres no boss fights and the story just isn't very exciting. Hopefully a sequel can live up to this games potential.”

“The storyline is ..... interesting with a lot of humor than in the first game and i find it a lot more easier. The gameplay is basicly similiar to the first one but it is also kind of having a different 'feelings', i don't know wether or not the graphic played a role on my view.
i still question the use of a nuclear bomb at the end of the game as ,ignoring wether the bunker is nuclear proof or not, that should ruin most of the country due to the radiation and massive blast radius. The only good thing about that is that it make a very VERY big explosion if it were real. Just imagining it is very satisfying.
The other thing i like about this game is that in the end, we became the 'kingmaker' of a influential country on a frictional universe. We can decide wether the Allied or the Chinese became the ultimate influence. When i finish this game, I picked the Chinese using the character Christopher Jacobs.
The reason why i picked the Chinese is purely due to my moral, during the course of my gameplay I found out that the Allies are playing for their own need for oil while the Chinese, either for selfish reason or not, choose what they thought is best for the people of Venezuela.
The next time i gonna finish it, its gonna be different.”
