Nidzumi: Mercenaries 2 Preview: Bigger is Better

Nidzumi writes: "In late 2005, Pandemic released the original Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction to a favourable response and later this year comes the highly anticipated Mercenaries 2: World In Flames. Now considering the amount of sandbox games that have came out and revolutionised the genre since the original, Pandemic have a tall task on their hands. Luckily this time around they have the full power of the next generation formats to push the potential of the series.

Mercenaries 2 will come packing with a whole host of improved features like a co-op mode that can be played online and offline, improved AI and fully destructible environments. These are sure to play a major role in World In Flames but we've seen all these so many times before that they seem like necessities instead of revolutionary improvements.

To be honest that is cutting this game short. The original Mercenaries was a great sandbox game just to mess around in and now it's the same great sandbox game but with next generation additions."

I cant agree with a lot of games on this list. Far, far more deserving entries - which I wont go into now. All I will say is Blast Corps U...I can dream, cant I?

The Darkness games are among my favorite games of last gen. Both were very unique in their own ways. I'd love to see a third iteration though I doubt it'll happen.

Folklore 2 would be nice as well.

Folklore was great! Great mechanics and atmosphere. Shame it never got too much notice

I_am_Batman3416d ago

Yeah. If I hadn't played the demo I would've probably missed out on it as well.

Helloween133417d ago

Well apart from Jak and Daxter the rest are total crap and I for 1 are glad there was no more of that crap, now if you want to talk about Heavenly sword and Medievil now thats 2 that should have another go at this gen

Legend of Dragoon. That is all that needs to be said.
