I played the first Mercenaries and found it very enjoyable. When I played Mercenaries 2, the fun was still there and maybe even more of it. Yes the story may not have been the most "exciting" one but the contracts where still quite fun. First I'll start with the graphics. The graphics are good but not amazing. The guns in the game look a little flat and not detailed enough. People's mouths don't move at the right time and it looks like they're just opening and closing their mouths. The environments look pretty good but not everything is detailed or focused in until you get close. Lets say you're walking and you see a boat in the distance, well it doesn't get perfectly focused in until you're quite close to it. But all in all things look pretty good. There are some glitches in the game but it doesn't really take away from the experience that much. Some of the examples are: A box floating in the air, getting stuck in a reservoir, your car tire partially sinking into the ground, and some other stuff. It doesn't really ruin the game, maybe it will get you a little frustrated but it won't make you go crazy. In the game there are a good amount of things to drive and special vehicles too, after you find spare parts hidden within the world. There are a decent amount of weapons in the game, still, I wish there would have been some more but at least there's more than in the first Mercenaries. The sound of the weapons is really realistic and make them feel a little more real too. When you get to the tail end of the game things pick up a little more and it's really fun. It's here where probably the story gets a little more interesting. All in all the game is quite fun and takes about 50 hours or more for one person. There is good replay value since you can choose a different character and also pick different factions to work more with. I would recommend getting this game because you'll have a lot of fun playing it. I hope Mercenaries 3 will be even better!
