Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

When I first rented this game I thought it would be some lame FirstPersonShooter game where you would have to complete repeditive objectives. Then I played it and actually enjoyed how open-world it is. Loved the different jobs and various factions in the open-world enviroment of Venezuala during a what seems like world war over oil.

Usually I would complain that it's not in first person but where it lacks in weapon variety it improves in storyline, vehicle variety, and open-world destruction. When it seems impossible to finish a certain objective, visit one of the faction's shops and buy an artillery strike or a commando squad!

Like I said, has greta vehicle variety that range from defensive gun trucks to heavy tanks to cool looking and deadly choppers to vast gunboats to kill your enemy with! All of which can be stolen from a faction or bought. Also whats cool is if I "accidentely" end of blowing up an American Oil rig for some guerilla in the jungle, I can return to my base and pay a small fee to get the americans back on my side.

Another cool thing is the job variety. They can range from protecting a buisness man while he's deleting critical files so they don't fall into the wrong hands to capturing High Valued Targets for factions. HTV missions can be fun because once you knock them out you can have a chopper come in to give you and your prisoner an evac back to a safe place. Then you can get on the allied chopper or hijack it and take it for yourself! The possibilities are almost endless.

Definitely rent and if you enjoy it, buy it.
