Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

Glad I decided to pass on this one. I was kind of running out of things to play until the next wave of games release in late Sept and Oct, so I picked up a cheap copy of Rainbow Six Vegas 2. It's not a great game, but I figure it will be more enjoyable for me than M2 based on what I'm hearing here.
 
Dang it! I was so looking forward to this game. Lookingglassman's review made me think twice, and Gamespot's score (5.0!) just convinced me that the game ain't worth it. The first one was so awsome, so I had high hopes for the sequal. Stupid EA Games! :klingon:
 
Dont waste your money! The first one was way better and easier to control. This one is a pain in the butt. The graphics are better and so are the explosions and at least the trees will fall down in this game, but trying to get ammo, get fuel, play a bunch of side missions that are a waste of time all get tedious after awhile. All I wanted to do was blow up stuff and kill people, but after hitting the wrong buttons time after time and dying as a result I just gave up.

If you really want it then I would advise you to wait until it is real cheap so you aint wasting 60 bucks on it like I did. I at least got $45 for it on ebay so it wasnt a total lost.
 
I finished playing it for the PC, and it was very buggy. It's also way too short. I played the game trying to make it last awhile, and I still finished it in a couple of days.

There are generally a lot of easy fuel sources to find, and they actually will respawn after awhile. I found most of the missions to be relatively easy. It helps when you play as Mattias, because his health regenerates after awhile. It goes up much faster when your health is low, if you take some cover or hide behind a building.
