I'm not sure if this review is for the game and it's gameplay itself or for the condition of the item? If it's regarding gameplay, then although graphics (one of the questions asked) are at the processing level of an Xbox 360, they're good for the time period they were made for. It don't think it will upscale to 4K UHD tv if anyone is wondering, as this game isn't backwards compatible with the modern Xbox's (probably due to EA dropping support upon receiving attacks from the VZ government), but they're not that bad either. Back when I began gaming graphics were never that great as they are now anyway, but we just allowed our imagination to fill in the missing details. As far as gameplay, Mercenaries 2 was and still is an awesome game that goes on the tops of my list for games to own. It's filled with action, freedom to do almost anything, and memorable times. I can play it over and over again (after some time has passed since last replay) and it's still good...a classic to play and own in my books. I picked it back up to play again (eventually) as I realize I made a mistake back in the day of selling it to GameStop for trade-in value. I won't be making that mistake again easily. It's an amazing game and I would like to continue to own it! If it looks interesting to you, pick it up and play it! I doubt, unless you're just not the person meant for playing it (and in that case would such a person be checking it out anyway? Not likely.), that you would regret it. A must own in my opinion!Read full review

I played this game back on 2008 when it came out and I loved it. After digging out my copy from 2008, just to find it keeps freezing. Well, I just recently purchased a used copy. The disc is brand new condition. This disc freezes too. I tried it on my buddies xbox and it freezes on his too. Highly disappointed.

I got this game for my boyfriend's anniversary present. The game caught our eye mostly from that epic commercial (the one with the song). What's great about this game is all of the different obliterating options to choose from. You can call in all kinds of different air strikes, vehicles, weapons, etc. There are also many different jobs you can get with different organizations. Money isn't typically a problem so you can always buy new cars, tanks, bombs, and so on. You can also choose between two other players, not just the norse fellow. The action and testosterone-fueling is great but what brings it down a little bit is that I think the graphics could have been better. With what Xbox 360 can do these days, you just expect more out of that department. But for some that's only a minor draw-back.Read full review
If this game was a book, it would be titled "Stress Relief for Dummies." Fun game, good interface, it has lots of qualities contributing to its ease of tension. It is effortless to play and the potential for destruction is unrivaled. the health also contributes to the laid-back nature of the game, recharging in a few seconds for one character. the quotes are funny the first, second and maybe third times, but after that get tiring. it also has a good storyline mode, if not much in the way of actual story. the multiple contracts and being able to pit factions against each other is often very funny and contributes to the 'naughty kid with a WMD' feel of the game. Overall, a great stress relief and easy to play game.
This is one of the most fun games I have ever played. It does have it's problems, which is why I gave it 4 stars. It has a problem where it loads (keep in mind this does not happen the first few times), and tries to connect to EA servers, then freezes and you must shut the XBOX off and start over, without connecting to Xbox Live. It plays just fine offline. Or, you can load the game, then once playing, pause and connect. And also, the cutscene dialogue is the same for all 3 characters, and after the 1st time it gets cheesy. With that out of the way, this game has incredible strongpoints. -Detailed scenery looks wonderful in HD. -Huge area to explore, in a factual country (Venezuela), even before unlocking it all -Awesome weaponry from different factions -you can destroy just about anything -wide range of cool vehicles (helicopter gunships to muscle cars to sports cars and bikes) If you love action, get this game, it won't let you down. I also recommend the Saboteur, from EA/Pandemic.Read full review
