USA Today: Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Review

There are some unsatisfying quirks, though. Enemy behaviors are odd. They tend to fire for a couple seconds, then stop long enough for you to kill them. Random bugs pop up periodically as well. You can detonate buildings, but it's almost impossible to walk through heavy brush.

The checkpoint structure is annoying too. If you die after reaching a checkpoint, you restart from the beginning of that mission, not at the spot you fell. That forces you to waste time traveling back past all the work you've done. Mercenaries 2 is like that outrageous action movie that isn't impressive for its story but will wow you with its over-the-top battlefield antics.

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_Batman3433d ago

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

Helloween133433d 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.
