Do not adjust your sets and all that, but this looks like a buttered-up PS2 game on first booting up. But then a friendly airstrike kicks in, and that subtitle, World in Flames, comes alive. ...

An interview with senior producer Jonathan Zamkoff
Jan 28, 2008
When it was first released, the orignal Mercenaries was banned in South Korea because of the tensions between the southern and the northern territories, meaning that any media showing conflict between the two was deemed illegal. Now with Mercenaries 2, the game faces another country with its panties in a twist. We caught up with senior producer Jonathan Zamkoff to get his thoughts. So Jonathan, with the game being set in Venezuela, didnt you cause a bit of GTA-style storm with the authorities ...   » Read Full Mercenaries 2: World in Flames preview

Explosions for sale or rent
Jan 7, 2008
Jan 7, 2008 Venezuela has a problem with Mercenaries 2: their government is convinced this balls-out-action shooter is pure propaganda for an eventual US invasion. You can see their point: by the end of the game you can expect the virtual version of their country to be charred, broken and burning. So many games promise truly destructible environments, and so few deliver. This third-person action game's mantra is "If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it." It's ...   » Read Full Mercenaries 2: World in Flames preview

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is overall a fairly fun game. It totally outperforms the previous Mercenaries game. High-points are graphics and free-for-all gameplay. The Venezuelan scenery is fantastic, and Mercenaries new "destroy everything" tactic is one of a kind. Lows for the game are missions: missions are too short and just don't "grab" you. I have played through the game, and was disappointed in how short and uninteresting the storyline was. However, I do recommend buying this game; it will become a Greatest Hit.
