All Games -- Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Release Date: 31-Aug-2008
ESRB: Rating Pending
Features new to Mercenaries 2 include destructible environments, offline and online co-operative mode[2], a fire effects engine that allows the player to ignite things such as oil, foliage, and trees and the ability to swim. The game is powered by the Havok 4.5 physics engine.
New vehicles such as boats have been added[3] Hijacking now consists of a small minigame, ranking in difficulty relative to the vehicle being hijacked. Another feature is the ability to switch from driver to gunner on demand. One other new addition to this iteration of Mercenaries is the ability to build a Private Military Company and recruit mercenaries into it. There are two confirmed mercenaries that can be recruited: Eva Navarro who will act as a mechanic once recruited and Ewan who is a helicopter pilot who can pick up valuable objects you may encounter, and can also extract you if necessary. Also, a new unnamed (Russian) bomber pilot will be able to be hired, who is your source for airstrikes.
The game will feature terrain ranging from urban environments such as Caracas, to the Amazon rainforest. It will also include the cities and regions of Maracaibo, Cumaná, Mérida, Ciudad Guayana, Guanare, the Orinoco River, Lake Maracaibo, the Northern Andes, Isla de Margarita, and more.
(via GiantBomb) - Platform: (X360) 3 out of 5 From the Venezuela Tourism Board brochure. The original Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction was a pleasant surprise for me. It managed to take the GTA open-world format to a tongue-in-cheek, ripped-from-the-headlines military theater that was essentially an international buffet of stuff to blow up. (09/05/2008 at 6:00PM)
