Well, after playing this game a little bit, probably about 3 or 4 hours worth, I am already tired of it. The AI are less than stellar, it's like sometimes they don't even see you walking past them and you are able to shoot them quickly before they yell some random slur then start shooting. The game is nothing new, it's the same exact concept as the last Merc game. The missions in the campaign get very repetitive, mostly either deliver this here, or that there. Kill him, or her then blow everything up. Blow everything up. That's it. There's nothing new or exciting about the game other than the even larger open world.
At most I would give this game a 7/10 for graphics. I don't really feel they are worthy of next gen, but that's just my opinion. If you're planning on getting Mercenaries 2, Rent it first.
