As my GTA comparisons come to a close, in no way is Mercenaries 2 a bad game. While in no way does it offer the same amount of replay value, comparable graphics, or variety throughout the map, the fully destructible environments are definitely its biggest saving grace.

Whenever you go buy yourself a Devil May Cry game, you know that there is a certain number of things guaranteed upon your purchase: grey haired human/demon interbreeds with badass attitudes, fiercely challenging enemies and frighteningly more challenging boss fights.

So you're a mercenary, and some guy hires you to help him gain control of the Venezuelan military. You take the job, you complete it, and when it comes time to collect, what do you get? Stiffed, that's what!

A lazy, buggy console port that's fundamentally still a fun game – but far too broken to win NowGamer kudos.
