This was a great game to play and I only paid 5.95 for it! PROS- Decent graphics, great weapons, can drive tons of various vehicles. great cheats! Reminds me a lot of a cheap version of GTA, addicting play. CONS- Not much of story, graphics are sub par, stupid enemies, glitches happen a lot/freezing, can not interact with anything in the game world. OVERALL 4/5 Great game great value and was a lot of fun!! A big open world game for under 6 bucks!!!

This game does exactly what it promises... Blowing stuff up. The game has an environment where nothing is safe from your will. You can call in massive air strikes destroying large oil rigs, or you can run into an enemy fortress like Rambo and shoot them all down. The pros: -Fully destructible environments -A large variety of weapons -Tons of customized vehicles The cons: -Driving controls don't utilize the triggers, instead you're limited to the X, Square, circle, and triangle buttons. -There isn't really a stealth element, you can't really sneak into enemy bases without getting noticed instantly. Overall, this game delivers what it promised, and will be fun to anybody who has played the original, or anyone who enjoys shooting up large groups of people. It has a decent sense of humor portrayed by the characters that will give you a good laugh or two. I'd recommend this to any fan of the genre.Read full review
Combat is very similar to the original game. Graphics and # of vehicles has improved. AI for the passengers is bad. They seem to only shoot one volley at the enemy. In Mercs 1 you can direct them to shoot where you want. Plus, in MERCS you can leave the vehicle while your passengers remain manning the MG's. In MERCS 2, I don't see this feature. 7.5 is a fair rating for the game. Lots of replayability. Shoot what you want!! Plus, it has added some weapons "training" for hard to use weapons. NOT worth $60, but worth $35
The Ps2 version is a lot of fun and this ps3 version has better graphics,but not stockpiling of vehicles like the Ps2 does(example you find a nice heavy tank but cannot drive it into your garage to save it).Also the simple ammo case in the Ps2 version reloads any of your carry weapons,but in the Ps3 if you carry a RPG or grenade launcher it is hard to find a less common ammo case that reloads those.The company that made this is Pandemic the company that also made the Star wars Battlefront games.Very addictive with all the vehicles,weapons,outfits and missions to unlock.Too many late nights playing this.Too bad this does not have splitscreen 2player local play like the battlefront games.
