Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

News from N4G Sep 5, 2008
Only two things in the beautiful, open world of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames can’t be reduced to smoldering rubble: a handful of structures essential to the story, and a ton of bugs. The latter is a shame, because after playing this otherwise exuberantly destructive shooter to its conclusion, I’d love to call in a carpet-bombing strike on those damned bugs. ...

An interview with senior producer Jonathan Zamkoff
Jan 28, 2008
When it was first released, the orignal Mercenaries was banned in South Korea because of the tensions between the southern and the northern territories, meaning that any media showing conflict between the two was deemed illegal. Now with Mercenaries 2, the game faces another country with its panties in a twist. We caught up with senior producer Jonathan Zamkoff to get his thoughts. So Jonathan, with the game being set in Venezuela, didnt you cause a bit of GTA-style storm with the authorities ...   » Read Full Mercenaries 2: World in Flames preview

Jan 7, 2008 Venezuela has a problem with Mercenaries 2: their government is convinced this balls-out-action shooter is pure propaganda for an eventual US invasion. You can see their point: by the end of the game you can expect the virtual version of their country to be charred, broken and burning. So many games promise truly destructible environments, and so few deliver. This third-person action game's mantra is "If you see it, you can buy it, steal it, or blow the living crap out of it." It's ...   » Read Full Mercenaries 2: World in Flames preview

Whenever you're done slavering over the latest meager scraps of information on Grand Theft Auto IV, the developers of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames would like to remind you that the sequel to one of the best GTA clones ever is also coming out later this year. And with the free-roaming fireworks show they've planned, fans of military hardware and mass destruction might want to divert their attention from urban crime long enough to give it a serious look. The setup is simple: Venezuela is in ...   » Read Full Mercenaries 2: World in Flames preview

Mar 7, 2007
The original Mercenaries on the Xbox and PS2 offered hours of enjoyment outside of the games official missions thanks to its flexible physics engine. With the help of some handy cheats and a hankering for destruction, fans were quick to discover the joys of stacking tons of vehicles before blowing them to smithereens.
