Pre-ordered before i looked into it, doesn't have proper widescreen settings, looks quite bad and runs not so well on my core 2 3gz, 2gb of ram and an ati 4870, ok for a tenner maybe.

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is a Grand Theft Auto wannabe. You play as one of three mercenaries, each with special abilities, who is unleashed into a war-torn Venezuela. In this open-world game, you complete missions for various factions in exchange for cash.

When it originally announced Mercenaries 2: World in Flames back in 2006, Pandemic Studios promised a buffet of fun: a massive world in which players would have the freedom to hop in any vehicle they want, GTA-style; a new fire engine that would allow users to set fire to large areas; seamless...

We love hate to say it, but we were right : Mercenaries 2 is a rental (not even a "must rent" at that), not a game for buying. While this isn't an official review of it, we will hit the highlights for anyone interested right now: The Bad The Good Overall this game is about a 6-6.5 out of 10, it's...

What ultimately bothers me about Mercs 2 is how much it looked like a beefed-up PS2 game based on the video trailer available on XBL, and I'm assuming PSN as well. The media has said the visuals are pretty good, but what do they mean by that? Have they seen the same video I did?
